THE BROTHERS GRIM
It's shaping up to be a banner week for Bay Area baseball brothers. Because on the heels of the Canseco brothers (allegedly) taking a stand against truth in the world of celebrity boxing, the Giambi brothers are expected to take the stand later today and testify in the perjury trial of Barry Bonds. The Giambis (see: Jason, and Jeremy) have both admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs that they got from Greg Anderson, the personal trainer for Bonds who is in jail at the moment for refusing to testify against Bonds. It could be tough for the lawyers to balance that out. Or not. In less than 48 hours the 2011 major league baseball season will start---finally. The Tampa Bay Rays will defend their east division title. Everyone seems to think they will be a underdog. I for one have always pulled for the underdog. When I played baseball in high school I was a underdog. On the Air Force team I was a underdog, but like the Rays found a way to win. Have fun out there and be careful

Miami cry baby's ( Heat)
Stan Van Gundy: Heat have themselves to blame for their problems

A Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy doesn't want to hear the Miami Heat's crying about how fans and media are roaring about the team's troubles.
“I do chuckle a little bit when they sort of complain about the scrutiny when they get,” Van Gundy told reporters Monday, according to the Orlando Sentinel. “My suggestion would be if you don’t want the scrutiny, you don’t hold a championship celebration before you’ve even practiced together.

To me, that doesn’t follow.”
Van Gundy was referring to the glitzy show the Heat put on last summer to introduce its newly formed Big Three – Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh.
After Miami suffered a fourth consecutive loss Sunday, Wade told reporters: “The world is better now since the Heat is losing.” Despite the streak, Miami is 43-20 and in no danger of missing the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Van Gundy, a former Heat head coach, blames overconfidence for the players' disposition.
“I think the players thought it was going to be easy and they were going to roll over everybody,” Van Gundy said, according to the Sentinel. “It hasn’t materialized that way up to this point.
