The Daily Nickel

1. The Rangers Get To 6-0- Will the Rangers Lose a Game This Season? Early indicators point toward no, but I've got my eye on May 20.  We play the Phillies that day and Cliff Lee will be pitching against Derek Holland.  Our team worships that guy and I can see that keeping us below the 10-run mark.  It will come down to the combination of the Dutch Oven and the bullpen holding the Phills to single digits to give us a chance.

2. Rangers Eye Cuban- Its good to see that behind their supportive facade they are quietly trying to fix the Borbon problem.  It was a little bit ridiculous the way the fans and players responded to the diving catch Borbon made Tuesday night... only having to dive because he severely misread the ball off the bat and started back on a ball well in front of him.  The Cuban is reportedly 23, but could be as old as 40.

3. The Mavericks Stink- Or are they geniuses?  This is a team that everyone calls soft anyway, so their is no priode to get in the way of bagging the end of the season for what the team perceives to be the easiest road through the playoffs.  This team rattles off 14-straight wins to get within striking distance of the 1-seed and when they see that it is unattainable they immediately embark on a 4-game skid.  I submit that it is their cleverly devised plan to avoid a 2nd round Laker matchup... 

4. D-Fdub Plan B-  Just in case the Mavs really just stink the D-Fdub has devised a Plan B for the playoffs.  We will root wholeheartedly for whatever team the Heat is playing.  The only cure for a broken heart because your team is terrible is to bask in the glory of another team's failures.

5. Your Mom Goes to Jail- I'm talking to you, LeBron.  Plan B is taking shape before our very eyes.
