Jackie Bradley Jr.'s Hitting Streak Ends

http://www.bostonherald.com/sites/default/files/media/2015/02/26/022615soxms39.jpg
The bat of Jackie Bradley Jr has been red hot in the month of May. 29 games in a row for the Red Sox outfielder. Bradley's hitting streak started in Houston back on April 24th. The Red Sox won in 12 innings, and that all came to an end May 26th against the Rockies.

What a ride this has been for Bradley. Back on April 24th, Bradley's BA sat at .233. During his streak, he was able to raise his BA up to .341.

I love watching long hitting streaks. I don't think we will see a time where someone breaks the 56 game hitting streak of Joe Dimaggio, but there is always so much excitement. I picked up Bradley on my fantasy team and he's been raking for me.

So, who's next? The player who now has the longest hitting streak is also on the Red Sox. Xander Bogaerts now has a hitting streak of 19 games. After him? Eric Hosmer of the Royals at 18.

Mini Steven Adams Wake Up


Good morning people! I hope you are enjoying this Hump Day. We're halfway home to a long weekend. Here's what you missed yesterday. 


OKC Annihilates Golden State in Game 4


If you thought that Game 3 was bad, Game 4 was a nightmare for Steph and Co. Led by Russell Westbrook, the Thunder have pushed the Warriors to the brink of elimination. Fun Fact: When a team takes a 3-1 lead in the Conferemce Finals, that team has advance 37 times out of 39. How do you like your odds, Draymond? That -30 looks good on your stat sheet. 

Russell Westbrook was unstoppable last night. Westbrook had another triple double with 36 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Steph Curry was held to 19 points, and wasn't a factor. OKC was the more physical team, as they have been all series. They out rebounded the Warriors to a tune of 68-49. Game 5 is tomorrow night at Golden State. The Thunder have a shot to send the Champs packing, but I think this series will go to six. 




Hit Streak Alert

Jackie Bradley Jr hit safely for his 28th game in a row. Teammate Xander Bogaerts is also on a 17-game streak. Both will look to add on tonight when They take on the Rockies. 



Super Bowls Awarded

Yesterday, the NFL announced that Atlanta, Miami, and LA would host Super Bowls in that order beginning in 2019. Two of those cities will have new stadiums. In my opinion, football is a cold weather sport. When they played it in New York, no one had any idea how the game would fair. The unknown weather and playing conditions are exciting. Send the Super Bowl to Chicago or Green Bay in February before I'm impressed. 


A lot going on today. It's the deadline for returning to college instead of staying in the draft. Also, we have a pivotal Game 5 tonight in Cleveland. Check back throughout the day for updates.
