Another .500 week? The Gasman still has as much credibility as Matt Walsh. Overall, the Gasman has enlightened readers with a 13-14 overall record, which includes last week’s sub-par 3-3 posting. Hey, at least he got the NASCAR winner correct.
Friday
MLB: Mets at Yankees — The Subway Series rekindles its excitement for the final time at the Stadium. And the New York reporters are salivating over Friday night’s game worse than Arlen Specter’s jones for the Patriots. Rightfully so. The Mets perfectly placed Johan Santana on the mound in the opener after the Yanks failed to bring him to the Bronx. The Yankees, rather, are opting for rookie Darrell Rasner, who is 2-0 and has looked like a veteran. Intrigue? Yes. Contest? No. The Yanks can’t hit. But the Mets aren’t that good either. The pick: Yanks, 6-4.
NBA: Celtics at Cavaliers — Kevin Garnett was an absolute beast Wednesday night. No one could stop him in the second half, even through telegraphed passes in the paint. It disturbed LeBron James’ return to reality and it should continue. After all, this is why he was brought to Beantown. The pick: Boston moves on, 94-83.
Saturday
NHL: Stars at Red Wings — This series is still going on? It won’t be after Saturday afternoon. Detroit has scored from all areas inside the opposition’s blue line and only Bret Hull lacing up the skates could save the Stars. Too bad he’s sitting upstairs in a suit. The pick: Red Wings roll, 4-1.
Horse Racing: Preakness — Big Brown. Big Brown. Big Brown. Anything else?
MLB: White Sox at Giants — This is a battle of declining pitchers. Chicago’s Mark Buehrle is 1-6 after winning 16 games during the White Sox championship season in 2005. San Francisco’s Barry Zito is as lost as Elliot Spitzer. The battle of dead arms has begun. The pick: Zito has to come out of his shell soon. Giants, 5-4.
NASCAR: Sprint All-Star Race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway — This free-for-all, but not worth watching race results in only a ton of cash for the winning driver. And it precedes the worst race on the circuit — the Coca-Cola 600. Yes 600 miles. Three years ago, that race lasted until the the early morning. But the all-stars get on the track first. The pick: A sentimental moment for Dale Jarrett as he wins after retiring earlier this year.
