O.J. LewisMy picks for this weekend . . .
May 24th 2009 09:33
Well it is a very busy Sunday starting right now.
It will all begin with the opening of the Tennis French Open in minutes. Later today the battle at the Brickyard begins with Helio Castoneves leading the drivers from the pole. Then tonight under the lights at Lowe's Motor Speedway is the Coca-Cola 600, a long and grueling race that will probably include some rain delays.
My Picks:
Even though it isn't a shock in the first round - I pick Rafa Nadal. I can't wait to see who gets to face him in the finals next week. Can anyone stop him from winning his fifth title in a row at Roland Garros?
Also I think Safina will defend her #1 world ranking fiercely. Can she finally win that major title? I think she can, and where better than on the clay.
I am picking Castroneves to kiss the bricks for a third time. However I think Ryan Hunter Reay might have a chance, and Danica winning would be so huge.
As for NASCAR - I think Stewart-Haas Racing will score a win in a points race for the first time. I am thinking it will be Ryan Newman also from the pole, like Castroneves. However, Tony Stewart should be there fighting for the lead late. Other than that, as always you have to watch the other cars with those Hendrick motors in them.

In other events today:
Cleveland Cavaliers will win to take 2-1 series lead.
Detroit Red Wings will win to take 3-1 series lead.
MLB Inter-League Play:
Winners: Detroit, Yankees, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Toronto, Boston, White Sox, Washington, Texas, St. Louis, Oakland, Cubs, Seattle, Dodgers, and Milwaukee
Let's also predict that Joel Pineiro will top both of the Card's previous two pitching gems. Todd Wellemeyer and the bullpen threw a five hitter on Friday, then Kyle Lohse and Chris Perez combined for another five hitter Saturday. I think Pineiro will toss a complete game shutout while giving up 3 or fewer hits.

Did you see Saturday's nail biter? Kobe scored 41 pts! I'll also be watching that Cavaliers game today, and I agree with your prediction.

lol Who needs Super Bowl weekend, or weeks of March Madness...May is definitely an overlooked month for sports. Especially if Joel Pineiro throws a no-hitter tomorrow.
BTW - I think the Nuggets win tomorrow.
