Best Anti-War Argument Of The Day
My friend, Girl Who Knits, has an extremely liberal mother and an extremely conservative father. This makes out for some great political debates and with the ongoing war in Iraq, the conversations have been extraordinarily fiesty of late. My favorite line so far comes from said mother: "As a fiscal conservative, doesn't it bother you that we dropped sixty billion dollars worth of bombs in Baghdad today?"
Right Field Controversy?
The Minnesota Twins won their season opener for the third straight season with a 3-1 victory over the Detriot Tigers at a chilly Comerica Field behind a superb pitching performance from Brad Radke. Quick starting Dustin Mohr is perhaps trying to ignite another right-field controversy after going 2-3 with a two-run homerun. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire seems intent on giving youngster Michael Cuddyer most of the starts in right field this year, despite the good play of Mohr and Bobby Kielty last year. Mohr got the start on opening day because Cuddyer was filling in for an injured Corey Koskie at third base.
Humphries Honored
Despite the fact that Hopkins senior Kris Humphries was unable to cap his senior season with a second straight state boys basketball championship, the Duke recruit has deservedly received several honors and national exposure over the past two weeks.
On March 23 Humphries was named Mr. Basketball, an award given to the most talented senior in the state every year.
Humphries beat out teammate Dan Coleman, Minneapolis North players Kammron Taylor and Kevin Henderson, Eric Webb of Grand Rapids and Lawrence McKenzie of Minneapolis Henry.
On March 25 Humphries was recognized as the AP Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. Teammates Coleman and Darren Clarke were named honorable mention.
Finally on March 26 Humphries played in front of 18,728 fans at Gund Arena in Cleveland at the McDonald’s All-American game.
Humphries scored 16 points and grabbed five rebounds for the West, which lost to high school phenom LeBron James and the East squad 122-107.
James, who scored 27 points, seven assists and seven rebounds, is thought to be on his way to becoming the number one pick in this year’s NBA draft.
Humphries and his family haven given notions that he might consider entering the NBA draft this season as well, but for now he is still slated to go to Duke next season.
The Blue Devils lost to Kansas in the sweet sixteen of the NCAA tournament last week, largely due to the fact that they lacked a strong inside presence.
If Humphries continues to work on his game this summer, he could have an excellent chance to step in and play quality minutes for head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
