Some Predictions for the Weekend

• Barbaro will win the Preakness, and will then go on to win the Triple Crown. The Preakness will not be close (5+ lengths), and once the horse wins the Belmont and wins the first Crown since Affirmed in 1978 (I am still amazed Spectacular Bid and Afleet Alex, the two most dominant horses since 1978, did not complete the feat), horse racing will get a nice shot in the arm in popularity, which is important since most fans of the Sport of Kings are about as old as Fish was in the old Barney Miller re-runs.
• The Dallas Mavericks will win tonight and close out the Wolrd Champion Spurs in 6 games. That is, of course, unless David Stern decides he really does not like Mark Cuban and has Dick Bavetta ref the game for him.
• In other series, Detroit will make LeBron wait a little longer for more playoff success and win games 6 & 7, while Phoenix will win their game 7 for the second time against an LA team this playoff season.
• Look for Carolina and Edmonton, that's right, Edmonton, to meet for the Cup. Michael Peca is just a winner, period.
• As mentioned earlier in the week, Sam Horish, Jr. will win the pole at Indianapolis, and Danica Patrick will get the most attention.

Have a great weekend everyone. I will try to post Sunday as I am out Monday and Tuesday...
