Asak's New Blog

In honor of Asak's new blog, sportstalk19512 I thought I would talk about some of the amazing sports we had this weekend, minus one horribly disappointing Bulls game. There were five Cubs/Sox games, The Kentucky Derby, the NBA playoffs and a big time boxing fight. One thing the weekend really did was remind me of how much I like horse racing. It is truly the most exciting 2 minutes in sports. I forgot the thrill of the build up and the back stories. What was really amazing about the Derby this weekend is how "Street Sense, the 9-2 favorite, rallied from 19th under jockey Calvin Borel to pass the pacesetting Hard Spun in the stretch and draw away to a 2 ¼-length victory in the 133rd running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs." It actually was amazing even after they showed the replay 20 times. Street Sense just rode the inside post passing everyone one by one and with only two or three horses left he moved right, threading the needle and then just flew in front of the leader. It was really fun to watch. That was only one of the many great events that happened, but the other sports talk I will leave up to Asak, such as is it really going to help the Yankees that they signed Roger Clemens or is there no way they can catch the Red Sox anyways or can the Bulls bounce back from such a crushing defeat.
