Fanview Lite: June 12, 2009

By Joe Torosian

Good Morning!

T-Minus-18 until Manny Ramirez returns to Dodgers lineup

I’m glad its football season…

Go Orlando!…But I really don’t have the energy anymore…

Back from Valhalla; The Texas Rangers have signed Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez to a minor league contract… Officially listed has being only 39, many believe Hernandez was actually with Balboa when he discovered the Pacific…

The Lakers deserve this championship, no matter how poorly they rank historically with other winners…Seriously, who would they beat?

And Kobe proves Shaq to be a little less significant…

I’d like to see Derek Fisher ride off into retirement with this title…no one will ever remember Fish was 0 for 5 prior to his Magic-killing bombs…

And I really don’t want to hear Stan Van Gundy offer another mea culpa for his decisions down the stretch…

Sorry to see Dwight Howard’s free throw shooting come into play, because he has picked it up during the post season…

Obligatory John Scanlan apology: Sorry, I had to cut the question yesterday…

Sidney Crosby’s stat line going into Game Seven tonight; one goal, two assists, through six games…not too good chief…Or is there a Puckmeister out there who wants to tell me I’m wrong?

Coolest name in football this coming season? Try South Hills tight end Dakota Behr…A name like that sure can’t hurt with recruiters…

Obligatory John Scanlan question; Won’t the return of Manny Ramirez to the Dodger roster be the equivalent of a trade deadline deal and add an instant spark to the offense?

One more mention of Tim Floyd…O.J. Mayo is good, but was he so good you’d risk your gig at USC for him?

Philadelphia was smart to give Donovan McNabb more dough and no years in the restructuring of his contract…after 2010 season they can quietly say sayonara…

We offered former Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman a job with the Mid Valley, but he decided to play for the Houston Texans instead…Which means its safe to say starting quarterback Matt Schaub won’t be looking over his shoulder if things get tough this season…

“Football Rush Week” is coming…

I think I’m gonna be leaning East in the coming Hall of Fame game…which means I’m Matt Koffler’s best friend because now he can tell his West squad that everybody is picking against them…

Stay thirsty my friends…
