10. Playstation 3 Online Network is Shut-Down
Sadly, 2.5 million gamers had to actually interact with people face to face this weekend.

8. Washington Capitals Eliminate Rangers
After last year’s disappointing ouster by the Canadiens, Washington took care of business against the Rangers. I would also like to point out that I correctly picked the length of this series. I don’t expect a reward for doing this, but I wanted to show some physical evidence that every now and then a blind squirrel would find a nut.
7. Anibal Sanchez Loses No-Hit Bid in the 9th Inning Friday
Sanchez is the first to make it into the 9th with a no-hit bid this season, but several starters have already gone very deep into games with no hits allowed. Hell, Josh Johnson has gotten into the 6th inning three times already this season without surrendering a hit. Johnson is a great pitcher (when healthy), but he’s not the second coming of Bob Gibson.
A few weeks ago I had written about forming a group for Red Sox fans that are against Red Sox Nation, but have come up with a better idea that will benefit all baseball fans. I want to bring steroids back. The main thesis for this movement will be that baseball was much more entertaining when everyone was on the juice. Look for a manifesto for this group to come out within a few weeks.
6. Pacers Win Game 4 Against Bulls
Indiana has been in every single game in this series, so it was nice to see them pull off a win at home before more than likely losing at Chicago.
5. Miami Loses Game 4 to 76ers
The Heat blew a six-point lead with just over a minute and a half to play in this one. This sort of hiccup won’t keep them from closing out Philadelphia, but similar gags in round 2 against Boston will send them home for the summer in six games or less.
4. Chris Paul’s Triple-Double Helps Hornets Even Series With Lakers
No matter what happens the rest of this series, at least we have been given more proof that Chris Paul is the best point guard on planet Earth (that’s right, better than Derrick Rose). Throw in Kobe leaving the arena last night on crutches, and Los Angeles could be in serious trouble.
3. Grizzlies Take 2-1 Lead Over Spurs
I’ll keep this short because the two teams are playing as I’m typing this. When you look at the rosters, Memphis beating up on San Antonio isn’t a shock, but to watch San Antonio struggle with the Grizzlies is sort of simple to watching Peyton Manning drag a sub-par Colts team into the playoffs.
2. Brandon Roy Leads Epic Blazers Comeback Over Mavericks
Portland was down 23 at one point before Roy went bonkers, scoring 18 of his 24 points in the 4th quarter. Not a lot of east coasters realize this, but the failure of Brandon Roy’s knees has been one of the sadder stories in the NBA (probably #3 behind Yao Ming and Greg Oden). Anonymous sources have indicated that Roy may be lucky to play another two years in the league. It was great to see him party like it was 2007 for one quarter.
1. Bruins Win in Double OT, Take 3-2 Series Lead
If you watched either Games 4 or 5 of the Boston-Montreal series, and were not thoroughly entertained, than you will never enjoy watching hockey. Both Tim Thomas and Carey Price filled Saturday’s double overtime thriller with game saving saves with startling regularity. I’m pulling for the Bruins, but part of me is hoping Montreal wins Game 6 so we get to watch an epic Game 7.
