The end of an era....

Last night something big happened in baseball. No it wasn't a Ryan Howard HR. No, had nothing to do with that Bonds guy. Last night the New York Mets beat the Florida Marlins, eliminating any chance of the Atlanta Braves from winning the division. The Braves won 14 straight division titles which is an awesome run. Kudos to everyone he contributed over the last 14 years. Here's to them starting a new streak next year!!!

Raptors Changes!

Do you know what grinds my gears? Sorry about that I am watching the Family Guy movie. But seriously, the Raptors have made a lot of moves to their roster and that is cool but I want to talk about the changes they are making to their overall image. They are getting rid of the dino and they are getting rid of the colour purple. While the court to the left looks cool and everything, I don't feel this change is needed. A lot of people seem to be excited about the new jerseys (which look a lot like the Miami Heat's jersey) but I am having trouble getting excited about it.

What do you think?

5 Reasons to see Superman Returns!!

5 Reasons to watch Superman Returns!

1) You get to see Kumar help beat up Superman!!

2) John T. Williams does the music, nuff said!

3) Parker Posey as Lex's henchwoman! She plays weird characters so well!!

4) The movie is over 2 hours long! It is always nice when a good movie is longer then two hours. That means your enjoyment lasts longer!

5) Seriously, Spacey is the man! He does Lex Luthor justice!

Bob's NBA Playoff Picks!!

The playoffs start this weekend! I am really excited! It would be nice if the Raptors had find a way in but I think if they make the right moves they can find the 7th spot next year! Going into the playoffs I decided to root for a couple of underdogs (Bulls and Clips) and my favourite Western conference team: the Phoenix Suns. I also want to see Lebron and his Cavs do well. So because of this I might be biast when it comes to their series... but I don't think I am. On to my predictions!

Eastern Conference:
Bucks vs. Pistons - Pistons in 5. Was there any doubt?
Bulls vs. Heat - Bulls in 6. This is the prediction where I will most likely be wrong but I believe in the Bulls. They have some big bodies that can slow down Shaq and they have toughness.
Pacers vs. Nets - Nets in 5. I hate this prediction because I hate Vince Carter but I just can't see the Pacers being able to keep up with the Nets attack.
Cavs vs. Wizards - Cavs in 6. Lebron has Hughes back and that should be able to get them through the first round... next round?

Western Conference:

Kings vs. Spurs - Spurs in 6. Good effort by the Kings but it won't be enough.
Mavs vs. Griz. - Mavs in 5. I like the Griz. but the Mavs are just too good!
Clips vs. Nuggets - Clips in 6. Clippers finally win a playoffs series. Their team has talent but how far will that get them?
Lakers vs. Suns - Suns in 6. Kobe is a amazing player but the Suns have an amazing team. Kobe will score 60 a game in this series but the Suns are going to score 120!

Pat Quinn fired from the Maple Leafs

In a widely speculated move it seems the Toronto Maple Leafs have fired their longtime coach Pat Quinn. There is a press conference scheduled at 1pm today. Pat held the GM position with the Leafs for a number of years too. This is the first year the Leafs have missed the playoffs in what feels like forever and somebody had to pay for it and for the moment that person is Pat Quinn. This wasn't a surprising move since the Leafs already have an experience NHL head coach working for their minor league club the Marlies, that coach is Paul Maurice.
