Nats Get Owner
After several delays, political sessions, and MLB foul-ups (no pun intended), the Washington Nationals finally have an owner. Baseball announced yesterday that the Lerner Group was awarded the franchise with details about cost to come. Though I'm not a Nationals fan, it's good to see that the team finally has an owner and progress can be made to make them competitive and get the ball rolling on the stadium construction. Hopefully this will pressure Satan himself, Peter Angelos, into making the O's competitive, but I'm willing to bet he'll purposelly keep the O's marginal and blame the Nationals for the O's plight.
Wizards Choke
No better word describes last night, except maybe "swiss cheese" (well, two words). Arenas and Lebron battled it out last night in one of the best 1-on-1 match-ups in recent NBA playoffs, though not quite Larry Bird v. Dominique Wilkins. Areans dropped 44 and Lebron had 45, which coincidentally, is your difference in the final, 121-120. Now, where was the defense and coaching? Granted Jared Jeffries and Caron Butler fould out (and don't get me started on the refs), but you can not let Lebron James catch the ball on the run and get to the hoop that easily. However, my biggest gripe is with what happened next: They had TWO timeouts and would've been able to get the ball at half court, for a better shot, and with plenty of time to get that shot off. But, instead, they inbounded the ball from the baseline and Arenas had to launch a half court shot. Dumb. Where was the TO? Did Jordan tell the guys to call a TO if the Cavs hit a shot? Why wasn't Jordan yelling at the refs for a TO? The Zards should have this series wrapped up but instead, they have to win two in a row.
