10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (5/3-5/5)

10. Hanley Ramirez Lands on the DL…Again
            I hope his fantasy owners enjoyed the 11 at-bats they got out of him, because that’s probably all they’ll get until June.

9. Regan Smith Makes Daring Move to Win Nationwide at Talladega

            I’d bitch about NASCAR making the Nationwide guys drive in the dark, but they crash so much anyway I don’t think the extra light really matters.

8. Thunder Put Away Pesky Rockets

7. Knicks End an Era in Boston
            Those 48 hours when everyone was pumped about an NBA team coming back from a 3-0 deficit for the first time were pretty fun.

6. Grizzlies Eliminate Coaching-Deficient Clippers

            Assuming Chris Paul doesn’t sign with another team, losing in the first round and getting to can Vinny Del Negro will probably be the best thing that could’ve happened to the Clippers.

5. Penguins Win Wild Game 3 in Overtime
            You have to give the plucky Islanders credit for giving Pittsburgh a fight in Games 2 and 3, but expect the Penguins to win the next two.

4. Thunder Hold Off Grizzlies For Game 1 Win

            Is it possible that it took the Thunder a couple of games to recalibrate their offense without Russell Westbrook? If they hold serve in Game 2, you can book the Thunder for a date with the Spurs in the Conference Finals.

3. David Ragan Scores Improbable Victory at Talladega
            NASCAR was bailed out for some horrendous decision making (namely, restarting the race after 90% of the crowd had gone home, forcing the cars to run in the dark at 200 mph) by Front Row Motorsports miraculous march through the field on the final lap.

2. Pacers Steal Game 1 at Madison Square Garden

            Indiana is one of the few teams in the NBA that can make the Knicks pay for playing Carmelo Anthony at the four.

1. Orb Wins a Muddy Kentucky Derby

            I’d like to thank Normandy Invasion for giving No Credentials a solid ten seconds where we thought we’d actually make money.
