The Daily Nickel

1.  Rangers get hammered - Harrison looked like the old Harrison, Colby is looking like the Colby that was religated to Japan, and our bullpen sucks.  Its also never a good sign when the ESPN/Dallas highlight video starts with a Borbon single.  Man, I hope this Brandon Webb thing works out...

2.  The NFL draft is tomorrow.  Picking at the 9 spot, the "experts" say we'll be taking...

Tyron Smith, T, USC- ESPN(McShay), ESPN(Kiper), Sports Illustrated, RealGM, CBSSports#1, FoxSports#1

Anthony Castonzo, T, BC - CBSSports#2, FoxSports#2

JJ Watt, DE, Wisc - FoxSports#3

3.  Brian Cardinal creating controversy in Blazerland- His take-down of Patty Mills in the closing seconds of G5 has everybody in Portland up in arms.  I have two thoughts about this:  1)  I like it, and 2) If the complaint is he was trying way too hard in a game that was over, then WHY ARE YOU STILL PRESSING?

4.  Jay Cutler gets engaged to that good-looking mean chick from the Hills - I wonder if he will be tough enough to walk down the aisle......But in all seriousness, this marriage has no chance of working

5.  For those of you who think it would be cool to retire early to a poor country, this is how they roll....
