Yeah, some people want you to keep quiet...I know plenty of people want me to be quiet...But we know that just isn't going to happen...Sometimes shit needs to be said...Even if it upsets people...Why hold it in?  'Cause some one on facebook may unfriend you?  They aren't your friend if they can't take you telling the truth, or sharing how you feel about something...

New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist caught some shit for venting his frustration after the Rangers lost game one to Boston Thursday night, in OT...Lundqvist was upset with himself for the 3-2 loss...But he also voiced his frustration with the teams lack of offense so far in the playoffs...He said what every single Rangers fan has been saying for weeks...But people thought it was wrong for him to call out his teammates...Why?  Why can some hack write about how horrible the power play is, but the guy carrying the team can't?

I'm not joking, I read a blog that pointed out that Lundqvist hasn't been good in OT...Well, couldn't that also be pointed at the rest of team for defensive breakdowns, and lack of scoring!?!  There was even a comment that Thursday night Lundqvist wasn't at his best...Well, the 2 previous games he threw shutouts...And yeah, if you watched closely, he wasn't at his best...And with that said, he made 45 saves on 48 shots...And his teammates blocked over 20 shots that night...If not for Lundqvist, Thursday night, the Rangers would have been destroyed...So he blew off some steam, and rightfully so!

But things got worse...Sunday the Bruins blasted Lundqvist and company 5-2...I had hoped Henrik popping off would have charged them up...And actually some of the Rangers did look like they took it up a notch...But the Bruins had a lot more jump...The series goes back to New York now...I'm not worried yet...The Rangers just need to do what they did against Washington...They'll be alright...

-Saturday horse racing took a ding again...They've been dying for a Triple Crown winner but it won't happen again...Just as favorite, Orb started to make his move, Titletown Five and Departing tried making their own moves, and pinched Orb in...He got stuck in the pack and couldn't do a thing...I had Departing winning, (Thanks Eddie Olczyk) but no one was catching Oxbow...That horse ran a hell of a race...With that said, I'll still be watching the Belmont...there are a number of exciting horses, and this thing should be wide open.

-Saturday morning Little Beeze and I headed off to our first baseball practice...Things are running behind this year...New organization running the league, and they're trying to figure it out...The practice was good...I've got a lot of good hitters...And my two best fielders, are girls...They both have great baseball sense...I can already tell it's going to be a good season...Had a number of parents that stuck around and helped out...Nice change of pace!

-Cleveland weather update...We have officially skipped Spring and are into Summer...80 degrees this weekend and my kids wanted to go ice skating Friday night...

And when we weren't at the Rink, or Baseball practice...Little sis, wouldn't leave big brother's side...

-And lastly, The Cleveland Indians...I'm shocked...There has been a lot of rumbling about the Tribe having low attendance...Well, considering a 24oz Pabst cost $10, Parking $20...And every road in the City is ripped up or closed...and the last two seasons the team fell apart after the All-Star Break, I'm guessing people are playing it safe with how they spend their money...It also doesn't help that while the Tribe is playing great, all the Sports talk shows in town are talking about the fucking Browns for some reason...

Have a week...

The Beeze.

I've got nothing today for the Q-o-t-D...So...

What would you like to ask the Beeze?  Any Question...I'll answer them in the evening after I'm home from work, and get the family situated...Fire away...

Did you watch the Kentucky Derby? Would you always watch horse racing if the jockeys looked like this...

Maybe you'd like them to wear something that the wind can blow through....

Saddles are overrated too....

I could post pics of chicks with horses all day...And I could find them doing kinkier stuff too...But I'm just stalling...Yes, stalling....Stalling to say that the best I could do this year with the Kentucky Derby was pick the horse that finished third...

Did I spend too much time studying horses this past week, which has led to my disappointment? Or did I not spend enough time? Listen, I was throwing money down on Orb, (the winner) who ran a great race...He came in as the favorite...The big money wasn't there to be made on him...I took my shots on Revolutionary, Itsmyluckyday, and Java's War....I played with a couple different Trifecta's...But nothing...

In our family bet, Little Beeze said fuck you dad...He put his money on Orb (winner, winner, chicken nugget dinner)...Molls went with her Uncle's pick and took Verrazano (14th place)...My oldest daughter had Revolutionary (3rd place)...I had Itsmyluckyday(15th place)...My wife had Mylute (5th place)...Yeah, studying up did me a whole lot of good...Fucking schooled by them all and their lack of knowledge and nonsensical ways of picking horses...

-I'm also stalling because I don't want to talk about the NHL playoffs...Especially my New York Rangers being down 2-0 to the Washington Capitals...Saturday they lost 1-0 in OT...That's a tough one to take there...I expect Lundqvist to play great...But the way Holtby has played through the first two games is unreal...The next two games at MSG...The Rangers need to take them both, and then play the best of 3...

There is something else that I have been noticing in the NHL playoffs...I noticed it the past few years...The physical play, and chippyness has intensified...The NHL playoffs are always more intense then the regular season...The urgency is always cranked up...And the physical play always seems to go up a notch...But the last few years it seems like it has gone to another level...And this year, there are games where it seems like 'Well it's the playoffs!' is just being used as an excuse for the physical play, chippyness, and penalties, and some players just being total dickheads! (See The Montreal Canadiens/ Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks when looking for major dickheads!)

-Any Lacrosse fans out there? I don't watch Lacrosse on a regular basis, but if I'm flipping around the channels with nothing to do, and there's a college Lacrosse game on, I'll watch it...It's got a bit of a hockey feel to it...So, the NCAA Tournament is about to get underway, so I thought I'd give you the seeding for the tourney...

(1) Syracuse (Big East) vs (16)Bryant (Sunday @7:30)

It is the Monday after the NFL Draft, and I don't know about you, but I need a bath...Why you ask? Well, I live in Cleveland...And after this draft, it really fucking stinks in here!

There is this thing in Cleveland when everyone gets their hopes up when the Draft rolls around...Sadly, since 1999 the Browns have had a lot more misses then hits...In April Browns fans are blindly optimistic, lead by the Cleveland media that is more often than not blindly swinging on the nuts of the team, and believing everything they say to be gospel...There are very few who are willing to criticize the team on draft weekend, and those who do, like me, get shouted down....

Example: When the Browns took Notre Dame Safety Jamoris Slaughter in the 6th round, I voiced my displeasure with this move...You know I love ND, and I like Slaughter, but kid played 3 games, and tore his Achilles last year....The year before he missed most the season after a shoulder injury...He was only in the draft because the NCAA disallowed a second medical redshirt...Yes, he's a big hitter...But he's a small guy, just under 6 ft. and 195 pounds...So of course it was tweeted at me that in 39 games he made 98 tackles...Big fucking deal...Former ND safety, now Vikings safety made 93 tackles in one season...Another ND Safety, Zeke Motta, taken in the 7th round by the Falcons made 77 tackles this year...Why the fuck wouldn't you take the heavy hitter that he is, instead of the guy who has been hurt the last two seasons?

Another asshole tweeted at me, "You know it's the 6th round?" Yeah dick face...I also know there are better players and players who aren't hurt out there! Everyone at 92.3 the Fan are fucking idiots, who just got the rights top air the Browns games this season, so they're all afraid to be fucking honest...

Then they start tweeting that Mike Mayock was raving about the Browns getting Slaughter...Well no shit...He gets one of his paychecks doing color for Notre Dame games...He's not gonna blast a ND guy...Fucking tools!

The Browns first round pick, Barkevious Mingo, DE from LSU...Fine pick there...They had no 2nd round pick...They gave that up when they took Josh Gordon in the supplemental draft last year...Fine...Kid has skills...3rd round they took CB, Leon McFadden from San Diego St....WTF! Kid is 5-9...I like my corners a little taller...Kid ran a 4.5 40...I like my corners faster, especially if they are short...Kid was projected as a 6th rounder....Of fucking course he was! Then they show a quick video of him...The clip showed him getting beat by a WR 4-5 inches taller and if the QB could hadn't overthrown it, it's a TD...

No worries, the Browns have more picks...Wait, they traded a 4th and 5th to the Dolphins for Devone Bess...Okay, so adding him, plus the recent acquisition of David Nelson, the Browns are okay at WR...Then they traded another 4th round pick to Pittsburgh for their 4th round pick next year...Then they traded another 5th round pick to the Colts for their 5th round pick next year...Okay, so they are already throwing in the towel on this year's draft...Got it...

In the 7th round they drafted two guys, one DE and one OL, both from division 2 schools...Listen, no offense to D-2 guys, but if you wanted them, you probably could have signed them as rookie free agents...The DE has a great history of getting busted for selling dope to undercover police...TWICE! Great pick...Then the Browns went and signed Notre Dame C/G Braxston Cave...(Finally a smart move)...They also locked up Bess for 3 years...

The media kept saying this draft was weak...Light in star players...So maybe be smart and load up on depth...Like the Patriots who traded out of the 1st round (29 overall) for a 2,3,4,and 7th round picks...Oh, and they made a trade Jeff Demps and a 7 for LaGarrette Blount...The depth they added...2 WR, OLB, ILB, CB, S, and DE...3 players, all on Defense from Rutgers...I guess Bill liked something he saw from the Scarlet Knights D...

All I know for sure, is a couple months back I talked about me and my sports fandom being free agents when it comes to the NFL and MLB, because the Browns and Indians make me sick...I gave my baseball fandom to The Nationals with an eye on the Orioles and Pirates...In the NFL I talked about the Seahawks and Patriots...Yeah, sticking with that...The Browns proved me right this weekend...All I had to see was what the Bengals and Steelers, and Ravens were doing in the draft...Ravens looking to fill holes and maintain...Steelers and Bengals looking to get better...And they both did...The Browns look like they are maintaining...Only problem is, no one should want to maintain when you are a perennial loser!

-Other Draft news...Matt Barkley proved something I've known for awhile...USC QB's are overrated...4th round to Philly...Ouch...Which of their 4 QB's will stay and which will go?

Geno Smith doesn't go in the 1st round, which is hilarious since both ESPN and NFL network filled their promo shit with him...Lucky guy then goes to the Jets...Clearly the Jets wanted to lead the league in drama again...6 QB's now...Including the hack, Mark Sanchez, and the media darling Tim Tebow, now adding Smith who has already shown what a twat he is by tweeting his smarmy feelings to scouts and draft "experts"...Kid is going to flop...Especially going to that environment...

What I watched of the draft I watched on the NFL Network...ESPN is awful...I can't stand Berman, Gruden, and Kiper...How is it old Mel keeps his job...All this guy does is analyze players for the draft, and he is religiously wrong...Mayock is a douche, but he's right a lot more than the dopes on ESPN....

But then the NFL Network guys got on my nerves when they wouldn't shut up about Manti Te'o...People, you want to know why he slipped? Watch the National Championship game again...Missed tackle after missed tackle...Found himself out of position to make plays for the first time all year...On the biggest stage...With a cloud of lies hanging over his head about a fake, dead girlfriend...It's not the girlfriend shit...It's not even the slow 40 time...It's that game, and how he got owned...I knew he'd get drafted...There is too much potential there not too...But 1st round...No way...hey, lucky for him, he's going to San Diego...Wasn't his girl in the Hospital there!?!

-The NHL playoffs will get started this week...My NY Rangers are playing well and seem to have it all together at the right time...They'll start off with The Washington Capitals...Hopefully they roll right through them...Rick Nash finally gets to take his game to the Playoffs...Looking to see him shine...I'm feeling so confident that I have excepted a bet friendly blogging bet on this series with SunTzu4m!

Chicago is the favorite out West, but they open up with the Minnesota Wild who have been a pain in their ass this year...The Wild have invested a lot this year...They want to win now...Should be an interesting goaltending battle between The Wild's Backstrom and The Blackhawks' Crawford...Both teams have firepower, so it will come down to which goalie can steal a game or two.

-This coming Saturday we have the Kentucky Derby...I love Derby day...We get the kids together and all pick horses...The kids have done well the last few years...Always a good time...Maybe I'll give them a couple Mint Juleps...Make it easier to take their money!

Have a week...

The Beeze

Here at You Gab Sports we have guys from all over the country talking about sports and sometimes other stuff too...But to be honest, we are a Boston heavy crew...I know there are people already sick of all the Boston coverage, but shit impacts people differently...So I suspect you'll see a bit more Boston talk here...Sully while trapped in Georgia, is from Boston...Mo, Harry, Lanz, are from Boston...Radatz, and Hal too...Frag is in Vermont, he's a New Englander, so he's close to Boston...And while I'm from Cleveland, my favorite city to go to is Boston, thanks to my wife, who is originally from Beantown...Her sisters and their families are there, so when the events on Monday at the Marathon happened, the first thing I did was call her...Then we reached out to her family there to make sure they were all okay...They are thankfully...

Then came everyone's heightened awareness/fear...Check you local Metro sections from last week...Tuesday was full of bomb scares throughout the country...There were couple scares/evacuations in Cleveland...There were all over...Which proved to us all, that what happened in Boston can happen anywhere...In other parts of the world it happens all the time...Here we don't think about it much...While that may make us look or feel naive, it should also make us feel lucky, that we live somewhere that doesn't have bombs going off every week...Or day...

Then, as I was about to dig into this story about the new Browns owner, Jimmy Haslam's company Pilot Flying J being locked down with warrants from the FBI and IRS, a fertilizer plant in west, Texas exploded....The first video of the explosion was horrifying...The amount of damage was frightening...Multiple blocks just leveled...So far, 15 dead...Still many missing...While this didn't seem to be an attack, it was still a horrible loss of life and shattered families that left me wondering what is going on here?

Then came Thursday...The FBI released pictures of the suspects in the Boston bombings...5 hours later, between 10:00 and 10:30 PM, news broke that a MIT police officer was shot and killed...Then a carjacking...For some reason the news networks chalked it up as a coincidence and didn't think it was linked, and moved on...I thought it was linked, and so did many others on twitter...Links were posted for Boston police scanners...I along with many other were all in...listening to the scanner and tweeting about what we were hearing...There became no doubt in our minds that these were the guys when over the scanners, Watertown police started calling out "Shots fired!" followed by "They're throwing grenades!"..."Loud explosions!"..."Shots fired!"...Then the worst call of an "Officer down."

...And then there was the call that the had one of the suspects was down...Shortly after that the scanners confirmed it was the bombers when the call went out that the suspect still loose was "The suspect with the white hat, from the pictures."

All the news was breaking on twitter...CNN didn't bother to cover things until well after 1:00 AM...The other networks didn't bother to jump in until almost 3:00 AM...Me, I was listening to the scanner and watching twitter until 4:00AM...Then I got myself a quick 3 hours of sleep before getting the kids to school and myself to work...All day, checking twitter for updates...Boston was locked down looking for this scumbag...

Friday evening came...He was still loose...The lock down was lifted...And thank God...Because a Watertown resident went outside, saw something odd with his boat...Saw blood...saw a body...And let police know...Police swarmed the yard...More shots were fired...Police and FBI took their time...They were careful, in case this asshole had more explosives...They took him alive...And the news that he was in custody, again came first from twitter...All the TV news guys got off their smart phone, or from their ear piece, being told via twitter, asshole was captured...I had just taken my kids skating...I kept checking my phone...When I saw the BPD tweet, I texted my wife at home, letting her know...She asked how did I know, since she was watching on TV..."Just got the tweet"...A minute or two later she texted back that the TV just announced it...CNN starting to look more and more irrelevant!

While I know people want revenge and would like to see this asshole dead like his brother, I'm glad they took him alive, in the hopes that they git information out of him...The suspects may be caught/dead, but there are still questions...As for myself, the restraint shown by the police is something I wouldn't have had...I would have shot the hell out of his legs, so he could feel just like those he attacked...

And while these stories were unfolding, that little prick in North Korea must be pissed because know one is talking about him anymore...And our politicians voted down a a bill that at least 75-80% of citizens supported...Getting 80% of Americans to agree on anything is bitch, yet the DC douchebags managed to screw that up to...And yes, the conspiracy theorist are out there in full force...Yes, they are back, saying the government is behind the Boston bombings...These people need to calm down...I don't like the government either, but I just can't buy into that stuff...Yeah, they politicize the hell out of horrible stuff, but I can't buy them blowing up innocent kids....So Alex Jones and Glen Beck, shut the fuck up.

As for sports...I don't have much there this week...I watched The New York Rangers knock the New Jersey Devils out of the playoff hunt Sunday...The Rangers seem to be clicking on all cylinders...Good timing...Hopefully they'll ride it through the playoffs...

But the sports highlight came when I was taking a break from the news...Little Ms. Molls working on her baseball swing already!

That can always take your mind off the bad shit...

Saturday Boston celebrated their first responders, their wounded, their dead, their unity as a city and as Americans...And much of the country celebrated with them...The best way to celebrate, is keep on going...And I gotta get going...I'm a single dad for the first half of the week, as Mrs. Beeze is in Pittsburgh for some training for her new job...

It would be easy to play a standard "Boston" song here...But I'll give some of the young rockers coming out of Beantown...Mean Creek, with two members who grew up in Watertown...

Have a week...I'll try to find you "Left of the Dial."
