Good Morning!
T-minus-9 until Manny Ramirez returns to Dodgers lineup
I’ve always loved inter-league play…
I’ve never doubted James Loney’s power for a moment.
As Juan Pierre kept performing this weekend I thought of Scanlan and that great line from the song “American Pie”; “And as I watch him on the stage my hands were clenched in fists of rage…no angel born in heaven could break that Satan’s spell.”
As we head into the NBA Draft on Thursday, I was kind of wondering how the whole Greg Oden thing was working out for the Portland Trailblazers…? Amazing what a first round over-reach can do to perspective…Rip City is actually longing for Sam Bowie…
Looking at the Zero Week football schedule (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) September 3-5, I was amazed at what used to be one, possibly two area games, is now a full blown week of football. Seven of the 12 Old School Mid Valley teams are playing, and nearly 30 games are being played with Mid Valley News connections.
Zero Week Must Sees: Arcadia at Monrovia, Diamond Ranch at Muir, San Dimas at Los Altos, and Alhambra at Roosevelt.
Note to my thirsty friends: If you are still in the process of negotiating a Father’s Day gift, birthday, or even Christmas, this is the time of year to put in a request for the “Sunday Ticket” and either TiVo or DVR…Let no one fool you, these were made for you…blow out the sports bar scene, take the plunge…Oh yeah, when ordering get the “Super Fan” package…
Seeing the Cardinals roll the Royals yesterday I kept wondering when Jorge Orta was going to appear and gum things up for St. Louis…
Considering the lateness of the hour and the pending drop of the NCAA guillotine USC’s hiring of Kevin O’Neill is pretty good, and an indication of when the NCAA investigations are over the Trojans basketball program will recover to be a plum assignment.
It’s June 22, isn’t it time for some preview magazine or ESPN to start talking about how dominate, awesome, omnipotent, exceptional, and divine SEC football is?
“Football Rush Week” is coming…
Programming note: Keith Knoop, HC at Burroughs will be live in studio on July 7th to talk Indians football and life after Dominique Barnes…
So when does Albert Pujols show up on a list saying he’s guilty of injecting Wheaties?
Stay thirsty my friends…
