On The Couch: June 17, 2009

Shocker!

Is it really that much of shock to see that Sammy Sosa was on performance enhancing drugs?

If you were able to see his photo when he came up with the Texas Rangers it isn’t a stretch to see the growth.

I have to wonder how many more players will be implicated for performance enhancing drugs.

Speaking of bad citizens, am I the only one who is upset that Donte’ Stallworth was allowed to plea bargain for a 30-day sentenced  for a DUI manslaughter charge.

Talk about giving special treatment for a athlete.

Let us not talk about the fact he gets to have his life back after 30-days.  What about the family that lost a husband, father, and brother?  They will live with the horror of knowing they won’t be able to see the person Stallworth ran over again.

I think Stallworth needs to pay with more days.  I hope NFL Commish Roger Goodell drops the hammer on him and suspends him for the year.

Give it up to Casey and Laura Wasserman for ponying up $450,000 to help pay for the Laker Parade today.

One thing I can say about Casey is that he is all class.

During his time owning the Los Angeles Avengers there were many times he would stop and listen to every fan who stopped him to ask a question.

You don’t see many owners who do that.

I just hope that Laker fans behave themselves this afternoon.  Another episode like the night before and you may never see another parade.

I guess the remedy for the Los Angeles Angels is playing the NL Worst.  How else do you explain the five-game winning streak?

With a win tonight against San Francisco they could go into the Dodgers series 8-1 against the National League.  With three left against the Blue Crew.

It would be nice to see them take at least two of three from their freeway rivals.

Be safe out there if your headed to the Parade.
