I am a Giant fan and I hear you. I also hate you a little bit for ranking the Giants so freaking low! STOP IT ALREADY!

RW Response: Um, have they won a game in the last month?

By "so sorry to you Yankees fans," I hope you're speaking to yourself.

RW Response: My friends have seen me over the years cheer for the Yankees. When I was little and visiting New York, my Dad took my Grandpa and me to a Yankee game. We were in the first row right on top of the visitor dugout. I got a game ball from Tony Clark right after the first inning. The Yankees won the game. The atmosphere was amazing. As a kid I was transfixed. Ever since that day I've rooted for the Yankees as long as their interests don't cross paths with the Dodgers. Unfortunately as a Dodger fan, we don't make the playoffs too often, so I've rooted for the Yankees in the playoffs all through my teens and twenties. So Alex, in these playoffs, I am a Dodger fan first and foremost. You'll catch me in my Dodger blue throughout the playoffs, hopefully. Thanks for the comment. -RW

Remember, the trick to reading a Plaschke column is to pretend that nothing has ever happened in history, except what happened yesterday. He believes Kobe and Ron don't get along because they were playing physical in the playoffs. Because he doesn't watch basketball, he doesn't know that's how everyone plays everyone.

The Cincinnati http://www.redsground.com"> Reds should be always competitive enough to keep pace with the others. I really like them; they’ve always been my favourite teams in MLB.Just read about them here:

I'm not as confident about the Lakers, they're gonna have a hard time in the West, going 6 or 7 against the Rockets and 5 or 6 against the Nuggets. True the Cavs are beating up on bad teams, but they'll get a nice warmup in the conference finals before a showdown with LA. Kobe seems to take more bad shots in the clutch, whereas LeBron takes it to the rack for easy layups or draws a foul or hits a wide open guy for a 3. That plus home court advantage might be the difference in a close series. He has missed a few big free throws, but he's gotten much better this year. And his defense has gotten so intense, its rubbed off on the whole team. I thought no one on the Celtics could guard Kobe, and they did it as a team. And I thought Phil had a huge coaching advantage against Doc Rivers last year and he was thoroughly outcoached. As a Lakers fan, LeBron scares me. I don't think people realize how much better than Kobe he really is.

Isn't that Pretty Boy quote really a DJ Quik lyric? He's from the same set as your precious Lil' Wayne, but he gets no love? Better watch out for the Piru Bloods now.

Oh yeah, go Doyers. Yay Manny!
