2022-23 NBA Champions.......

 Kevin Durant misses potential Phoenix Suns home debut after slipping during pre-game warmups and injuring ankle | CNN  


Provided the man pictured above (Kevin Durant) can stay healthy, I believe The Phoenix Suns will win the title this year.


It's a big if though.  As I type this, it looks like he will miss the rest of the regular season.  If he can come back strong for the playoffs, Phoenix will be ok.


If not, my money is on The Milwaukee Bucks to win the 2022-23 NBA Championship.

Favorite Guitar Solos

Are you the type of person that has music playing in your head at all times?  Can you a hear song in your mind just as well as if it was playing out loud?  I can.  Drives me nuts sometimes but it's just the way my brain functions.  When I open my eyes each morning - I never know what will be playing in my head.    This morning it was "Heartbreaker" by Led Zeppelin.  It wasn't the beginning of the song - it was the guitar solo (which is about midway through) .    I thought, man- excellent solo by Jimmy Page.   I started thinking about guitar solos that have really stuck out to me.  Some songs can go from good to great due to an outstanding guitar solo.  I thought of other songs in which the guitar solo literally makes the song.   So, Ive decided to list some of my fave guitar solos this morning.  Mind you, this doesn't include songs that are nothing but a guitar solo (an example being "Eruption" from Van Halen).   It has to be a regular song that contains

The Most Inefficient Team in all of Professional Sports.......

    The New York Mets.  As I type this, The New York Mets have 46 wins and 52 losses.  They are in 4th place in the National League East, 17.5 games behind the division leading Atlanta Braves.   This may not be too bad especially when you consider The Mets are only 7 games away from a possible Wild Card playoff berth.  However, it's real bad when you consider what this team is being paid.  It's the highest payroll in baseball - in the area of 360 million dollars.  Add to this Steve Cohen, the owner of The Mets, will pay 110 million dollars in luxury tax - bringing the total amount spent on this team to around 470 million dollars.   By contrast, the currently most efficient team in baseball, The Baltimore Orioles.  First place in the American League East.  60 wins, 38 losses.  This for the price of 61 million dollars, with no luxury tax.   There are other teams in pro sports that suffer from inefficiency - but no one comes close to 2023 The New York Mets.  If they do miss the pl

The Best Player in Major League Baseball....

    Shohei Ohtani is currently the best player in Major League Baseball.     The Los Angeles Angels are in a very difficult position when it comes to Ohtani.  He will be a free agent at the end of this season.  The Angels will most likely lose him because free agency almost always ends in a bidding war - in which case The New York Mets and  owner Steve Cohen will win.  If I am running the Angels - I would most likely trade him before the August 1st deadline.  Otherwise he leaves and you get nothing for him.  We'll have to wait and see how it plays out......
