Fanview Lite: June 25, 2009

By Joe Torosian

Good Morning!

T-minus-7 until Manny Ramirez returns to Dodgers lineup

Is that the Giants fee-fi-fo-fuming just 7.5 back of the Dodgers?

What happened to the Wolf Man last night?

Even by sending Larry, Mo, and Curly to Phoenix for Shaq, the Cavaliers still overpaid…

Note to Poster “Green & Gold”: From what we’ve picked up the relationship between Anthony White and Randy Backus is very cordial…White has cited Backus as being very helpful and professional.

That’s good news, I want the drama to be on the field…

“Football Rush Week” is coming…

How necessary are the ESPY Awards?

Note to Recent Grads: Phil Jackson’s plan of only coaching home games, just half of 82 next season, only works when you are dating the bosses daughter…which he is…

The shooting of Ed Thomas, the Iowa high school football coach, is awful…and horribly sad…

I said it a while ago, but it bears mentioning…Blake Griffin, who will be the first pick in today’s NBA Draft by the Clippers, needs to go play in Europe and stay the heck away…If he doesn’t have talent, we’ll find out real quick. If he does have talent fate and torn ACLs’ can’t be too far away… 

Its a curse to be a Clipper…a curse…

I guess in the case of Yao, its OW!

I’m sure beating Spain 2-0 in the semis of the Confederations Cup means a whole lot for American soccer…but I think the Bonita passing tourney on Friday and Saturday is far more interesting…

The Bonita passing tourney is also far more interesting than the NBA Draft…Did you know the Lakers have eight former number one picks on their roster? Five of them were number ones of other teams…Including Kobe Bryant…and everyones favorite bench warmer of the month Shannon Brown, who was a top selection of the Cavaliers in 2006. The Lakers are Brown’s fourth team in three seasons…

Thirty top picks in a draft, one legit talent, the rest are journeymen and busts waiting to happen. 

I’m a firm believer in the haircut to rekindle passion, sharpen focus, and ignite energy so I liked what Vladimir Guerrero did with his dreads…Style and fashion are less important than production…good for Vlad…

Wow, something positive about the Angels…next thing you know I’m gonna be watching soccer, beach volleyball, and reading “On the Couch”… 

Stay thirsty my friends…
