"Jeremy spoke in class today"

 So today marked the first day of the spring season in which my allergies seemed to get the best of me.  I believe a congratulations is in order to mother nature, hopefully tomorrow will be different.  This past weekend my brother was in town with his musical ensemble, good job little bro.  As the weather gets nicer and the allergies begin to flare up more and more it can only mean one thing; baseball season is almost here.  Recently I read an article about the Houston Astros pitching staff and I had to say it brought my hopes up  Here's the link, check it out: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/spring2011/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=6224560

Congratulations to Kyle Lowry for winning the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Week.  For the past month he has been playing superb basketball and it is beginning to look like the Rockets have finally found the cornerstone type player, that this team has been desperately searching for, needed to become a title contender.  His brash on-court style has given this team a swagger and an identity.  His tenacious, ball-hawking defense combined with his ability to ferociously attack the basket while being a pass first point guard, set the tone for every game and seems to take each opponent they face by surprise.  Not to mention that he has developed a very nice three point shot this season, let us hope that this remains consistent and Kyle has truly "leveled up".

ADELMAN

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/rumors/post/Rockets-owner-undecided-on-re-signing-Adelman?urn=nba-332626

 There's still an outside chance that the Houston Rockets will make it into the playoffs. The team is in 11th place in the Western Conference but only three games behind the final playoff spot.
Whatever happens this year, it is extremely unclear what will happen next season. Head coach Rick Adelman's contract is up at season's end and Adelman, who lives in Portland, has been saying that he isn't sure if he'll retire or if he'll opt to return.
The decision may not be his to make. The Houston Chronicle reports that Rockets owner Leslie Alexander isn't chomping at the bit to get Adelman back. "At the end of the season, I'll sit down with [general manager] Daryl [Morey] and we'll talk about it," Alexander said, the Chronicle reports. "Nothing has been done yet, or thought about yet in that regard."

LET HIM WALK!  HIRE MARIO ELIE!
