Good Morning!<\/p>\n
Do you hear the sounds of pattering feet? Listen…Real close…Got\u2019em now?<\/p>\n
Yeah…well that\u2019s not the sound of children coming down your hall…But rats skedaddling off the Dodgers bandwagon.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m holding firm…Once Jeff Hamilton is off the DL and Kevin Gross gets back in the rotation things will be fine.<\/p>\n A-Rod drives out the first pitch he sees after hip surgery…How many pitches has James Loney seen this season? How many has he driven?<\/p>\n Houston looked really mortal last night against the Lakers, Kobe looked like an immortal. I\u2019ve never seen a guy with so much game, do so little to inspire me. I freely clicked back and forth between the games last night unafraid of missing something…<\/p>\n I actually enjoyed seeing Jordan Farmar get some playing time…Can somebody tell me if Andrew Bynum made the trip to Texas?<\/p>\n Nuptials are pending between Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings…<\/p>\n So the team with the worst defense in the NFL, the St. Louis Rams, releases its number one tackler Piso Tinoisamoa…That makes a lot of sense…I\u2019m going to go out on a limb here and guess that second round pick James Laurinaitis will start in the middle…Will Witherspoon on the outside…but who\u2019s the third linebacker?<\/p>\n I\u2019m not happy.<\/p>\n Rick Pitino to the Sacramento Kings…The sports equivalent of Dumb & Dumber…If they are stupid enough to hire him, he\u2019s stupid enough to go there.<\/p>\n Pitino is the basketball equivalent of SC\u2019s Pete Carroll…Moderate pro success, but their first best destiny, to quote the old Spock, is college basketball…<\/p>\n Rumors are flying that the Kings are thinking of returning to Kansas City…Nice, now only if the Clippers could return to Buffalo…<\/p>\n Buffalo? Yeah, for those of you \u201cVillanuevaly Challenged\u201d there was a pretty good basketball team in Buffalo called the Braves…Bob McAdoo celebrated his glory days there, Randy Smith was a legend, and Dr. Jack Ramsey was the coach…Then again it wasn\u2019t all good, Dale Schlueter played there…<\/p>\n Worth Remembering: Chuck Daly, who passed this morning at 78 of pancreatic cancer, was a great basketball coach.<\/p>\n Fanview Lite appears Monday thru Saturday here at www.midvalleysports.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
