Yanks & Mets rally late, Papelbon blows a game, Nba playoffs have been fantastic to this point.

The Mets gave me a thrill. Two for two at Fenway so far ain't too shabby.

There's a woman down the block with Yankee tickets to give away.

She wasn't assaulted or raped. She just caught the finger and some rotten fruit thrown at her.

There are a lot of National League fans on my block.

Best Event of the Day was Seeing ZenYatta win another . This Mare Is As Good as it Gets . She Really Looked Slow out of the Gate and just turned it on For An Undefeated 10th win .

Is the Year of the Fillies and Mares .

I would love to see a Zenyatta / Rachel Match Race in September / October . Been a Long Time Since a Female Match Race has had any interest.

She's a good one but "10 for 10" as an older mare is tough to grab as an old horse fan.

Yes, yes, yes, I'm an old fart from a different generation but I remember 10 for anything as a horse just going into the summer of the 3-year-old campaign.

GHOSTZAPPER was Horse of the Year with 4 starts.

Honestly, are there anymore horses that carry on a campaign or need more than 3 months between races?

I've never been a fan of this filly but you can't hold it against her because she can only beat who's in front of her.

Agree and she did make a hell of a move.

She's already won a G1 on dirt and beat Ginger Punch in the process.
