Wednesday Sports Update

Last summer, something happened that had never happened before in sports. Lebron James showed how players have the power in sports today and held 'The Decision' to tell everyone he was headed for Miami. We all thought it would never happen again, but after today it looks like that may not be so. St. Louis Cardinals first baseman, Albert Pujols set a deadline on contract extensions which ended today, meaning he refuses to negotiate from now until the end of the season cause it might be a distraction. But the real distraction may be thinking about 9 months from now when he is on the podium, as a free agent and says he is not returning to the Cardinals. The only thing worse than that for Cardinal fans would be if he signed in chicago. Most people can only hope he decides to stay in St. Louis, but who knows, maybe he will end up somewhere else. Personally, Im hoping for LA, but the biggest story heading into spring training might be at a close.

Now to the NBA, Where amazing really does happen. Most people are probably in shock after hearing that the Lakers lost to the Cavaliers today. I am happiest that now no one can make fun of my Clippers for losing to them last week, especially when the clippers at least forced overtime. But its not looking good for the Lakers headed into the all-star break, nine games behind the Spurs.

I think the top news of the day though, other than the Clippers defeating the Twolves, was the return to the court by Chris Kaman. Kaman has been out almost all season due to various injuries and if he could even get close to the all star year he had last year, the Clippers front court would be amongst the top in the game. With Blake Griffin, Kaman, and the young and upcoming Deandre Jordan, not many teams would be able to compete with the clippers' front line. Also tonight the Heat defeated the Raptors in Chris Bosh's return to Toronto. I bet he felt a lot better being on the side he is on seeing the Heat are right there at the top of the eastern conference with the Celtics heading into All-Star weekend. It should be an interesting weekend not only with the festivities, but with union talks and Carmelo Anthony trade talks. Stay tuned for more updates.
