Cavs 102, Pis-dones 84: Cavs handled their business in game 1 of their series versus the Detroit Pistons. The defensive intensity wasn’t quite where it needs to be, but the offense looked good. The Cavs had 24 assists on only 4 turnovers. Lebron finished with 38, 8, and 7 on 20 shots, and Delonte chipped in with an efficient-as-always 12-5-5 on only 8 shots. Game 2 is on Tuesday.
Bulls 105, Celtics 103: Didn’t get to see all of this game, but from what I did, it looked like the Bulls gave it their best shot, and the Celtics gave it their worst. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce won’t combine to go 9-33 very often. I think those two will get it together, and the Celtics will win this series. Joakim Noah played very well for Chicago (11 and 17), and Tyrus Thomas might be the dumbest player in the NBA.

Hef, I need a ruling. I am watching the Phils Padres game and Myers had a strikeout but it was a passed ball and the runner advanced. The announcers said it was a strikeout passed ball. What the fuck does that look like in the stats column.

I’ll hang up and listen for your answer
K, E2, guy to first.
/scorebook’d
thanks Fetch. I never knew who the error went to.
Can you have a wild pitch in that situation, or by definition can a strike not be wild?
Just had my first Arnold Palmer of the spring. Excellent, as always.
Well if he swings at it it can be a wild pitch (I think). i.e. if it is in the dirt. But if it’s a K and the guy advances it’s always an E2
I’m sure he did lots of things Perry, the man’s a drink mogul
this post’s strength isnt up to par with the earlier posts.
/thecassino’d
//because as we all know he could do better
passed balls are not errors. (just ask Hef’s boyfriend)
it was ruled K and WP. no error.
Nick are you getting the Reds game? I am supposed to get it but I got RedWings v. Blue Jackets.
ok if it was a wild pitch then yea.
gonzo- what’s with you being around more in the past like 2 days than the previous 6 months combined?
So both the runs scored were earned?
I was waiting for you guys to write something interesting.
/on fiyah
yes, they were both earned. (I wasn’t entirely sure about this, but I checked the box score.)
Yeah they’re earned on a WP. I could be wrong, but I don’t think they are on a PB.
oops, should have hit refresh first.
How can a strike ever be a wild pitch?

after a quick search, it seems a passed ball does make runs unearned.
I wish the Marlins would lose more.
If the guy swings
This made me laugh.
I wish I were taller.

I live in Toledo and I get all the Reds and Indians games. How is this possible?
Hearing that makes me angry.
I get no Tigers games despite the fact Toledo is a suburb of Detroit.
That would have been a good thing last night.
I don’t get that. I don’t see how you get Reds games. I’m gonna call some people and get this sorted out.
/Black Sheep’d
FoxSportsNet = Reds Games

Lidge just blew a save, the graphic at the bottom showed his last one when Pujols launched one to Jupiter.
OK I am in love with Juan Morillo. He can blow some gas.
Red Sox > your favorite team.
If your favorite team plays in the special olympics. You forgot that part, Hef.
Fuck you San Antonio for blowing my ESPN Streak.
Tigers win…
Tigers > Red Sox
I’m willing to bet only Amy Poehler’s family laughs at her skits.
