Fanview Lite: June 24, 2009

Good Morning!

T-minus-8 until Manny Ramirez returns to Dodgers lineup

Even the Trib can get some things right as in the case of Manny Acosta being its athlete of the year…

Albuquerque loves Manny, so what does this tell you about baseball fans wanting to move on from the crime and punishment of the steroid era?

Sometimes bad writers make money too…Case in point Yahoo’s Tim Brown who is miffed that Manny didn’t answer any questions. 

I got to get out of this business, ambulance chasing lawyers are more respectable than those who pretend to know sports, collecting dollars, and proving they can’t write a lick. 

If Richard Jefferson still has a full tank or even a half full tank at 29, what a great deal for the San Antonio Spurs…but is it enough to turn back the clock on Tim Duncan?

I saw the highlights of Ricky Rubio and agree on the high end he’s Pete Maravich, but on the low end he’s Jason Williams…the recently retired NBA guard best remembered for his days in Sacramento…

Still didn’t see Randy Backus on Tuesday afternoon, at Arroyo, in a passing league tourney featuring Covina, El Monte, Arroyo, and Arcadia, wearing a hat…and saying I’m not here.

No kidding, Arcadia looks good…Asked what its like to have a returning starter at quarterback talkative Apache head coach Jon Dimalante said: “Oh yeah.”

Actually the three returning starters at the tourney( Garrett Tuck, Steven Rivera, and Quang Phong) all looked good…

Happy anniversary Chief Johnson & wife Lori…

James Loney hit his fifth home run last night…all five have come on the road…which is fine…

So much for the White Sox getting payback for the 1959 World Series…

When did Mike Cameron reach the Majors? I have this memory of him playing for the ’84 Cubs…Dude’s been around a long time…

Old issue, same frustration: If public and private schools are going to compete in the same division…either all players transferring to any school should be immediately eligible or they should not. It shouldn’t work in the private school’s favor and against the public…

Did you know the San Francisco Giants are a game up in the Wild Card standings? The Colorado Rockies are 1.5 back of them. So much for the awful N.L. West…

Andy Villathedevil is wrong its not the Angels hitting that’s doing them in, it is their pitching…

New word leaking in from anonymous sources, not wanting to be exposed…and not wanting to be held accountable just in case…is: Baldwin Park…Lookout for Baldwin Park…

“Football Rush Week” is coming…

Stay thirsty my friends…
