Good Morning!<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0What are we three weeks from spring practice? We\u2019ve made it through the offseason. New coaches, and plenty of rumors…Have you heard the latest about Randy Backus going to…Nah, that would be gossip.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0If the Rio Hondo in baseball was supposed to belong to TC and M-Town, San Marino and La Canada didn\u2019t get the memo. The Titans have won five in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0Best of intentions. I\u2019ve always promised myself I would do more in regards to South El Monte softball, but multiple jobs, three kids, a wife, yada yada, has made it tough. I\u2019m sure I\u2019m not Lady Eagles coach Dean Bunting\u2019s favorite guy.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0But look at the numbers the SouthGirls are on top of the Mission Valley League again in softball with a bona-fide superstar in Anne Gaber, who is hitting .661 with seven homers and 22-Rbis…click on tomorrow and I\u2019ll tell you how good a pitcher she is…\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0I feel a whole lot better knowing that when Barry Bonds was playing it was all about the image on the field and nothing to do with the real Barry. He\u2019s really a heckuva a nice\u00a0 guy.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0When I saw him last night during the Giants 5-4 win over the Dodgers I kept thinking of the old song; \u201cOh, oh, what a lonely boy!\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0I know Scanlan will crack some WHIP comment and give a thousand reasons why I\u2019m wrong but I\u2019m sick of Dodger reliever Ronald Belisario. When this guy comes in I start having Elias Sosa flashbacks. Dump him.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0Was that the Dodgers Cody Ross making the Willie Mays catch last night for the Florida Marlins? Seems like only yesterday he was getting hits and driving in runs before being told to get off the bus and find another team.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0I like New Orleans\u2019 Chris Paul as well as the next fellow but I\u2019ll move over and let you talk to the next fellow. The Hornets 121-63 loss (that\u2019s the real score) wasn\u2019t just bad for Paul\u2019s reputation, it should cost Coach Byron Scott is job.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0Just like plenty of people will be unemployed, who are currently employed by the San Jose Sharks after they were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Anaheim Ducks.<\/p>\n (And people think I don\u2019t do hockey…)<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0The Lakers wrapped up business against the Jazz last night, but I\u2019m still not a Kobe guy. There is nothing about his game that makes me go wow! My long term memory of Kobe will be of someone forcing a fallaway 17-footer with three defenders on him. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Fanview Lite appears daily at www.midvalleysports.com<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
