Following their anticipated early exits from the NBA playoffs the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers will face off in a newly organized Seniors Championship. Games will be played at the AARP Arena in St. Petersburg, Florida. All games will be called complete, regardless of score, by 3:00 p.m. to allow players and fans to make the Early Bird dinner specials at local eateries.

The Boston Bruins have become the current BeanTown darlings with their 4 game sweep of Philadelphia. Confused Boston fans are still pondering why the locals faced the Phillies so early in the season.

Oh, yeah, the Yankees. As expected(!), Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, and Russell Martin are carrying the team offensively and the two starters with the highest ERAs, Burnett and Nova, are leading the staff in wins. Derek Jeter is looking amazingly spry in the field and increasingly old at the plate. Jorge Posada has the bizarre stat of an equal number of hits and RBIs (14) to go along with a .149 BA. Gardner and Swisher are equally pathetic at the plate.

And the Yankees are in 1st. Now that's amazing.
