Fanview Lite: June 20, 2009

Good Morning!

T-minus-11 until Manny Ramirez returns to Dodgers lineup

On moment I’m saying that’s the kinda sugar daddy likes!

The next I’m calling down curses.

I hate inter-league play.

 

And Villathedevil, who turned off the game after the 7th inning, is gloating saying he loved every inning of the Angels 5-4 win over the Bums.

 

Renaming the “Cy Young Award” the “Satchel Paige Award” to make it sound more relevant is a stupid idea…and screams of pandering…Yahoo Sports Gordon Edes idea has more to do with white boy guilt, than truly doing anything to honor Satchel Paige… 

 

“Look! I’m white! I’m not a racist!” 

Please…

 

Bernie Kosar is the last guy I ever thought would file for bankruptcy…Then again divorce and the Cleveland Gladiators (AFL) are generally bad investments…

 

In a fantasy football column someone actually tried to stir up debate on who is better between the Rams Stephen Jackson and the 49ers Frank Gore…Yeah, and I always thought Rodney Dangerfield and Alyssa Milano were neck in neck in the looks department.

 

Sorry but when you make the kind of Norm Cash, Dick Green, bones, clams, zops, lettuce Alex Rodriguez makes you are not allowed to go into a slump. You are considered too big to fail…so let him suffer humiliations galore until he comes out of it.

 

After ten seasons and millions of spent dollars, Lamar Odom has found his niche coming off the bench and supplying bursts of brilliant play…Note to NBA teams thinking lets offer this obvious and overwhelming talent the moon, do so at your own risk. Especially in this economy because before you know it you could be filing for Bernie Kosar in court…

 

“Football Rush Week” is coming…

 

Latest NBA mock draft has Arizona St. shooting guard James Harden going to Sacramento with the fourth pick overall…Either its a really bad draft crop or that is way too high.

 

Personally I’d like to see the Kings move to the Pond/Honda Center/Whatever We Are Calling It Next Week…in Anaheim.

 

Could you imagine if local stadiums took there names from local contributors; “The Hat Stadium”… “Flames Field”…. “The Lampost Pizza Center”… 

 

Obligatory John Scanlan question of the Day: Please tell me the Mitch Jones experiment is over? I’d sooner see Mitch Webster or Caldwell Jones in the DH role this weekend.

 

Stay thirsty my friends…
