Baseball And The NBA

The Yankees won again yesterday. So did the Dodgers.

The two biggest markets with the two biggest payrolls are on a roll. Those two teams will probably get baseball better World Series ratings, BUT it's starting to prove, all over again, that the biggest markets, with the most money to spend, can buy their way to the Series.

The NBA is finding out the same thing. There are MAYBE 4 contenders for the NBA Championship this year, and its the same 4 who are always recently mentioned. I'd like to have hope for the Wolves this year, as good as they look on paper, but even Michael Jordan admitted that it probably going to be the 3 or 4 teams everyone always mentions.

The only thing that could stop that from happening are injuries. Boston is one of those teams mentioned. They lost one of their "new, exciting" stars last night minutes into their season opener. It was a broken tibia and a major ankle dislocation. That's a nightmare to start the season on.

The Wolves? Tomorrow night at San Antonio. San Antonio? Yes, they're one of those "four teams."
