\\nRiverhounds- last Saturday the Hounds trveled to Indy to take on the 11 and suffered a 2-1
\\nloss Indy dominated the stat line in all catorgies as I assume that they were looking for a bit of
\\nrevenge after the Hounds knocked them out of the US Open Cup just a few days prior. The
\\nHounds have Ottawa Fury in town in regular season play and next Wednesday the 11th the
\\nHounds head to Columbus to take on the Crew in the 4th round of the US Open Cup.

\\ngame 4 and has a broken jaw, questionable for game 5 but expected to play. Robert Bortuzzo
\\nis expected to be back in the line up for game 5 after being a healthy scratch for game 4. The
\\nBlues have rotated him, Edmundson, and Dunn at D all season, Edmundson had an shaky
\\ngame 4 opening the window for Bortuzzo .
\\nPens- the Penguins have a lot to figure out in the off season. The Pens biggest issue last
\\nseason was Offense, not the defense, the D and goal tending could have been better, nut the
\\nlack of goal scoring with the top players on the team was atrocious. Keep your eyes out for a
\\nbig move in the off season.
\\nNBA- the NBA Finals has the Raptors Up 2-1 after game 3, where Steph Curry drops 47, Green
\\n17 for warriors, Pascal Siakam, 18, Kyle Lowry 23, Fred VanVleet 11 Kawhi Leonard 30

\\nof. Steve Blass made head head lines around the Baseball world with his comments of
\\nJewelry and Stuff, and how a your player like that back in the day when Greg Brown interjected
\\nin regards to Ron Acuna jr. last week it was Greg Brown and John Wehner took heat for the
\\ncomment that Derek Dietrich.s Grandfather was rolling over in his grave because of the
\\ndemieinor of his HR Trots. The Team has a -68 run differential and the offense is sporadic,
\\nthe Pitching which was thought of as a top in the NL if not the division has had its issues with
\\nInjury and just not preforming. Draft, Pitch Quinn Priester was the Number one selection 18th
