Who’s Jonathan Lucroy?
-
He’s asking who the hell is Tony LaRussa before Milwaukee spanked the Cardinals again, capturing the 1st 2 of the series and putting them in a 5-game hole. The Brew Crew turned the tables on LaRussa when the Genius made the ill-advised decision to drill Ryan Braun last week after Takashi Saito unintentionally hit Albert Pujols. Karma? Lucroy thinks so.

Daddy’s Boy
-
Kyrie Irving, who is expected to be the top pick in the NBA draft next week, lost his mother when he was only 4. His Dad Drederick, a former baller himself, raised Kyrie and his sister Asia. Good for him. Wish there were more black fathers who made this sacrifice. They have a special bond and they are looking forward to a special Father’s Day on Sunday.

Our Bucks Have Eyes For Ohio State
-
Last year, we picked Kansas, so be careful before you ride shotgun with us. President Obama won’t jump in. He’s picking Kansas again. Good luck with that, sir.
Ohio State is the best team we’ve seen this year. And it has Jared Sullinger. Plus, doesn’t Thad Matta become the flavor of Columbus now instead of Jim Tressel?
We know plenty of people not named the president are picking the Buckeyes. Maybe they might know something we don’t. We hope.
Here’s how the Buckeyes get there:
-
East Regional
Ohio State over UT-San Antonio; George Mason over Villanova; Clemson over West Virginia (our 5-12 upset); Princeton over Kentucky; Marquette over Xavier; Syracuse over Indiana St.; Washington over Georgia; and North Carolina over Long Island.
-
West
Duke over Hampton; Tennessee over Michigan; Memphis over Arizona (we’ll roll the dice on another 5-12); Texas over Oakland; Cincy over Missouri; UConn over Bucknell; Penn St. over Temple; and San Diego St. over Northern Colorado.
Southeast
Pitt over UNC Asheville; Old Dominion over Butler; K-State over Utah St.; Wisconsin over Belmont; St. John’s over Gonzaga; BYU over Wofford; UCLA over Michigan St.; and Florida over UC Santa Barbara.
-
Southwest
Kansas over Boston U.; UNLV over Illinois; Richmond over Vandy (we’re wearing that 5-12 out); Louisville over Morehead St.; VCU over Georgetown; Purdue over St. Peter’s; A&M over Florida St.; and Notre Dame over Akron.
East: Round 2
Ohio St. over George Mason; Clemson over Princeton; Syracuse over Marquette; and North Carolina over Washington.
West: Round 2
Duke over Tennessee; Texas over Memphis (BBQ being the determining factor); UConn over Cincy; and San Diego St. over Penn St.
Southeast: Round 2
Florida over UCLA (again); BYU over St. John’s; Wisconsin over K-State; and Pitt over Old Dominion.
Southwest: Round 2
Notre Dame over A&M; Purdue over VCU; Louisville over Richmond; and Kansas over UNLV.
Elite 8 East
Ohio St. over Clemson and Syracuse over North Carolina.
-
Elite 8 West
Texas over Duke and San Diego St. over UConn.
Elite 8 Southeast
Wisconsin over Pitt and Florida over BYU.
Elite 8 Southwest
Purdue over Notre Dame and Kansas over Louisville.
Final 4
Ohio St., San Diego St., Kansas and Wisconsin.

Cooking With Mike Leach: Fat Meat Still Ain’t Greasy With The Slickest Coach In Our Book
-
Since my Mom is always watching the Food Network, I’ll have to ask her if Mike Leach can burn. I can hear her now, saying “Who?!!! Is he from Boley?”
Our favorite unemployed coach, who we’re hoping UCLA gets a clue and hires to replace Slick Rick, has some rich flavor for the kitchen duties.

Knick Picking
-
Can the 3-man game of Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups and Amar’e compete with the beasts in the East and face the Lakers for the NBA title? No. And can someone tell us what the hell the T-Wolves are doing, dealing Corey Brewer for Eddy Curry and Anthony Randolph? Seriously, how long will it take before Kurt Rambis beats a path back to L.A.?
Glad to see the local paper score the scoop after all the speculation and false reports from so many in the national media.

Bucks 98, Lakers 79
-
Thanks for the love player Hobe. Had I not watched this game at your crib, I never would have known Earl Boykins (Wizards got rid of him and Gilbert?) was playing in Milwaukee now. Or better, doing his thang Tuesday night in L.A., where he keyed a blowout of the 2-time champs, before LeBron, D-Wade and the Heat rock show comes through. Does Barkley know Earl Boykins is with the Bucks?
Hell, it wasn’t that close.
Kobe told the officials to take a hike so he could before this trap game floored the Lakers in L.A. Beatdown. No Brandon Jennings and Corey Maggette and they smoke the Lakers. The Duke of Earl Boykins though was on fire. He clocked them.
Some folks say this Laker loss takes luster off Saturday’s showdown between the Heat and Lakers. Uh, no.
Happy holidays.

Who’s Giving Who The Finger Again Here?
-
Hey, if you had to spy on the 49ers, maybe that was a signal of a little trouble in paradise to begin with? We are talking the San Francisco 49ers, right? And what did Todd Haley know and when?
Or maybe it’s us, but we still don’t get the NFL and the Broncos settling for $100,000. “I’m Larry H. Parker and I can get you…”
Something reeks here. You think James Harrison? That’s 75 grand for 1 of your hits but these scumbags get 2 and walk just like that. What are we missing here?

‘One Hughes Letdown’
-
That’s the catchy headline in the N.Y. Daily News. Ranger fans would beg to differ that today’s result wasn’t one huge letdown.
Instead, they bounce back from Friday’s debacle by jumping on Yankee pitcher Phil Hughes to even the AL series at a game apiece. Game 3 is Monday at 5 p.m. (PT) on TBS.

Showing His Ignorance Again
-
A tip of the cap to our good friends at You Been Blinded.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. refuses to get in the ring with Manny Pacquiao because he’s afraid of getting his ass handed to him, but that hasn’t prevented him from ranting with some shameful racist bs. Pretty disgusting even for Mayweather’s low standards.

Nice Start, But They Need Work
-
Offensively, USC was impressive in its season-opening victory over host Hawaii Thursday night. Each time the Warriors would rally from double-digit deficits, the Trojans’ offense would respond with a crucial score in their 49-36 thumping. Matt Barkley looked good throwing 5 touchdowns, but running back Marc Tyler and wide receiver Ronald Johnson, who is almost as good as anyone in the country, also were major contributors.
But the defense, particularly the secondary, is a work in progress. Hawaii tagged the Trojans for almost 600 yards in offense.
