The Nightcap

The Nightcap-Like a dry martini...

-Don’t sleep on the other Laker going for ring number five-
      Kobe is going to get his night in and night out and Gasol in all of his euro glory will continue to be the poster child for potential Speed Stick deodorant commercials. But soon enough Ron Artest may have to lend his Tru Warrior label to the true Tru Warrior, Derek Fisher.   We should all know by now what Fisher brings to the table. It is never flashy or sexy, but his game is so representative of what I am sure every other team in the league wants from their starting point guard. Tough, smart, strong willed, determined, heart…the clichés could go on and on. In Fishers case, they are never exaggerated.  His three-on-one break in the waning seconds of the game tonight in which he drew a foul and sunk the shot for a three-point play summed up all that you need to know. This isn't new news by any means, its just worth noticing every time you watch him play.

- Stephen Strasburg makes MLB debut-
      He lived up to the hype in his first major league start. Strasburg set a Nationals team record with 14 strikeouts, and fell just one K short of setting the MLB record for strikeouts in a players first career start. Impressive is an understatement. Mark this day down ladies and gents. This debut will go down as the most anticipated in MLB history.  The fact that it all went according to plan was just the cherry on top. Although the Nationals may cap his innings around 100, no one should be surprised if he is able to produce an ERA under 3 from here on out. He is THAT good.


- Munchie Run: Courtesy Rotoworld.com-
Rookie WR Golden Tate was caught trespassing inside a Top Pot donut shop in Bellevue, Washington at 3:00 a.m. Saturday morning. Profootballtalk.com confirms the report.

Tate and a friend apparently got the munchies after hitting the bar scene. The only problem was that the donut shop was closed while they were scarfing down breakfast. Tate managed to escape arrest, receiving a "trespass warning" instead. While he should also avoid league discipline, he won't be so fortunate when it comes to rookie hazing at training camp.
