The TEN: 8/21/2012

The TEN

(“The Ten” is not a top ten, but ten items worth being included in The TEN)

1.) “Good morning I hope everyone has a blessed and productive day.”— Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice

2.) Angels first baseman Albert Pujols: 467 at-bats, 28 home runs, 85 Rbis, .278 batting average.

3.) On this date in 1936 Wilt Chamberlain was born.

4.) “The reason Brandon’s pass to Abel looked like a video game is because we work hard at it every day.”— El Monte HC Joel Sanchez

5.) Melky Cabrera

6.) Warsaw Pact forces enter Czechoslovakia to end reform movement on this date in 1968.

7.) “It’s awesome. Torry’s been here this week, Aeneas’s been in last week, Pisa Tinoisamoa … Andy McCollum as well, those guys. Just to see those faces and it brings and restores the history of what we’ve done in past and under this franchise. It brings the energy. Guys are actually asking these old timers, ‘What was it like, what did they do?’ We all want to get back to that point where the team was rolling in the early 2000s.”— St. Louis Rams running back Stephen Jackson

8.) Dodger lefthander Clayton Kershaw walks none, fans 10, and loses to the Giants 2-1.

9.) “We have a mini mid-level (salary-cap exception) still available, but I think it’s unlikely we’d use it unless there’s an incredible value out there.”—Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak

10.) Chavez Ravine

Dodger Stadium: “To the Elysian plain…where life is easiest for men. No snow is there, nor heavy storm, nor ever rain, but ever does Ocean send up blasts of the shrill-blowing West Wind that they may give cooling to men.”— Homer, The Odyssey
