April 3, 2008 - Man, they gave
my baby Ramiele the boot on American Idol last night. NOOOOOOO!!!! She
still was one of the better singers, plus she's cute as all get out. I
would have thought that the Filipino support would have kept her in the
mix. I have say that for quite time, I have believed that the judges
comments after the performances sway the voting. Is this just obvious
to me? Anyhow, I will try to give some quick injury updates, as it's
coming down to wire...For those of you in weekly leagues like me, you
are stuck, but for you daily guys, don't get stuck with an unnecessary
donut...Shawn Marion...done...his back spasms incredibly turned into
plantar fasciitis...I got a question...with all the D-Leaguers playing
for the Heat, who's playing in the D-League games?...Antawn
Jamison...shoulder in a sling after hurting it last night....unofficial
word is that he will miss a couple of games...Deshawn Stevenson...hurt
his ankle in that same scrum with Jamison....he doesn't miss games, but
you need to monitor.... Yi Jianlian, knee sprain...expected to miss
Friday's game..if he's in your lineup, you can't be in the mix....Drew
Gooden..abdominal...will miss the game tonight, and despite what he
says, may be shut down for the season...Beno Udrih, back...will not
play tonight, and you know the rest.....I forgot to mention yesterday
that Pau Gasol is back after missing nine games...man, what is it with
Mo Williams...how quickly they forget....he was the one that made TJ
Ford expendable in Milwaukee, and now, he hasn't played in the 4th
quarter at all for the last two games, and his minutes are down over
the last four....maybe it's a shut it down thing, but I don't think
so...with Sessions hitting that game winner last night, if we see Mo
sitting more, expect some grumbling...the NBA truly is a "what have you
done for me lately" league....good luck, and I hope your fantasies
mirror your reality.
