Random thoughts...

so today i have a few random sports-realated thoughts i wanted to get out there:

• Heat are now up 3-0 on the Sixers. Anyone still doubting? If anyone can guard LBJ its Iggy and while Philly might not be the Lakers or Celtics it is still impressive to sweep anybody. 
• Bulls take 3-0 lead on the Pacers. Now does this actually surprise anyone? DRose is sick. enough said. If he keeps up his great play (despite a mediocre game 3) and Korver hits some big shots and Boozer grabs some boards and throws in 10-15 points, they could be unstoppable
• Blackhawks win 2 in a row. Dont count out the champs right now. Kane and Toews are too good and now theyre in Luongo's head
• As far as baseball is concerned..It's April. Great to have baseball back but is not  a big deal yet. Relax sawx nation. I will say Tulo and the Rockies are legit I feel but I'm going to predict the tribe falls off sooner rather than later

Ryan Braun: $105 million man

The Hebrew Hammer and the brewers have agreed to a 5 year contract extension that will keep Braun in MKE through the 2020 season. At just over $21 million a season, the crew is taking a huge risk, considering he was already locked in through 2015 and he will be 36 when the contract is over. Clearly the Brewers are making a statement to their fans that they are gonna keep theyre own guys. Big paydays for Braun, Weeks, Hart, and Yo as well as the addition of Greinke and Marcum shows the Brewers are here to win. That's great because they arent going to. I've been going to watch the Brew Crew my whole life and I can honestly say I don't think they will ever compete for a championship. Prince is gone after the year FOR SURE people and as far as the future at 1st base, Mat Gamel is apparently not the option. The only respectable minor league 1st baseman is Brock Kjelgaard, and he is a .270 20 HR minor league guy and projects worse in the MLB. I have heard the Angels are interested in adding Prince this offseason. If thats the case, why not try to work in a little Fielder for Kendry Morales swap. Unlikely? yes, smart? I think so. As long as Kendry isnt allowed to celebrate he is a stud. As far as this season goes, if Axford doesnt get his shit together, this bullpen is in BIG trouble. Axford, Braddock, HAwkins, Saito does not strike fear into any hitter. Bottom line is Melvin and Attanasio locked up their money maker. Whether it is too long or not is trivial right now, but one thing is for sure. Ryan Braun is a celebrity athlete. He sells tickets, he sells jerseys and he can hit. For a few years anyway the crew made the right choice with Braun.
