alright, here goes my first ever blog attempt -- CCR Statistics or otherwise (crazy, huh?)
The Cleveland Cavaliers just hosted their first ever NBA Finals game in their 37 year team history. The stadium was pretty juiced, and the general atmosphere throughout the whole city was said to be electric. The Cavs played tremendous defense the entire game; however, all of their hard work on the defensive end of the ball was offset by what can only be described as a piss poor offensive effort. Boobie was 1-10 from the field, Sasha was 5-15, and Varejao should never be passed to again. The aforementioned sideshow-bob-esque player took it upon himself to create a shot for himself with 10 seconds left in the game.... a role that should only be played by the King. Finally, LeBron was fouled during a desperation three pointer at the end of the game. Had it been called, he would have gone to the charity stripe (slang for free-throw line) with a chance to tie the game.
The cavs were also a miserable 3-19 from 3-point range.
On the positive side, Z snagged 18 rebounds (1 less than the record for most rebound in a post season game by a Cavalier.... Brad Daugherty holds the record with 19... he's currently an announcer for NASCAR).
Justin Verlander pitched a no-hitter to lead the Detroit Tigers to their 3rd straight win and a share of the central division lead. They are currently tied with the Indians (who lost their 3rd straight game tonight and are on a 3-7 skid during their last 10 games). Verlander is only the 3rd pitcher in ML history to pitch a no-hitter only one year removed from his rookie season.
I'm too pissed off to write anymore.

Despite the fact that this was initially intended for Mikey, I have found it quite useful in my own work environment. Kyle's "Lebron was fouled" update was particularly useful as I chose to see "Knocked Up" during game 3 and missed part of the game, and when I say part of the game, I mean a little bit more than a part of the game. So thanks, guys.
"Verlander is only the 3rd pitcher in ML history to pitch a no-hitter only one year removed from his rookie season" is a useless piece of information that will definitely blow away any potential employers. well done Kyle. Ashton can we get a word on how this blog has contributed to your everyday goings??
