Ten Years Ago Today...
I attended the 2003 All-Star Game.
Yeah time files and of course I am bragging about the fact that I have attended an All-Star Game
Of the AL Starters, only Soriano (started at 2nd base) and Ichiro are still playing in the majors.
Of the NL Starters, only one- Albert Pujols (who started in the OF!) is still playing in the majors.
Can't wait to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Bartman Game (I was also there)

Lord Stanley's Cup Returns to Chicago
Last time there was a 49 year wait between Cups. This time 3 years. I like the 3 year wait better.
What does this championship mean for Chicago? Well in a city that prides itself as a great sports city, it certainly mean alot. While we have had other champions; however, except for the Bulls of the 90s, many of those teams, as great as they were, failed to repeat their success:
1985 Super Bowl Bears- a great team that failed to return to the Super Bowl.
2005 White Sox- since that incredible 11-1 post season run, the White Sox have only officially won 1 playoff game (I say officially because the 2008 Blackout game does not count as a playoff victory but it should).
Cubs- ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
But the Blackhawks, first had to shred a lot of contracts because of the salary Cup returns with the same core players for the most part. Not it wasn't a repeat but with the salary cap, twice in 4 years is pretty amazing. Add to that the incredible regular season run for this team and Chicago can gloat a little!

RIP, James Gandolfini
I'm saddened by James Gandolfini's passing. He was a great talent & I owe him. Quite simply, without Tony Soprano there is no Walter White.
— Bryan Cranston (@BryanCranston) June 20, 2013
Incredible tweet from Bryan Cranston after the death of James Gandolfini. Sopranos is one of my top three TV series of all time, and maybe # 1 (Sopranos, Seinfeld and Mad Men). Breaking Bad makes my top 15 list and Cranston could not be more right about the importance of The Sopranos and the character of Tony Sopranos on the spectrum of TV evolution.
While he will always be Tony Soprano and that is clearly his best role. don't forget:
1. Welcome to the Rileys
2. The Last Castle
3. The Mexican
4. A Civil Action
5. "Bear" in Get Shorty!
RIP, Tony Soprano
RIP, James Gandolfini

Stanley Cup Final Game 1- Just An Incredible Game!!

Nice, Mr. LeBron!
Michael Jordan never scored fewer than 20 points in a Finals game; LeBron James has yet to score 20 points in a 2013 Finals game.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were -30 tonight via @nbastats. Via @bball_ref that's the worst two man +/- since 2008 (Kobe-Odom) in June
