Quick Hits:
The Red Sox, combined with poor coaching on the base paths by Cleveland, looked great last night in a rout to advance to the World Series. Somewhere Manny is still walking around with his arms in the air and David Ortiz is sporting that red cut-off with swimming goggles. Just in case anyone else has a bottle of champagne that they're ready to uncork.
It was rather unprofessional of Ortiz to be in the Red Sox dugout in the top of the 9th with no jersey on and those goggles on his face. I understand that they were up by a significant amount of runs, but Boston knows better than anyone that it isn't over until it's over. You had all night to celebrate the win. At least wait until the last out is recorded. He should have been at 1rst anyways as I hate the DH and think that it ruins the AL. Have your pitcher bat and run the bases and then see how difficult it is for them to throw a complete game.
Hank and Hal Steinbrenner are on a collision course to ruining one of the best franchises in sports. If you thought King George was a lunatic, then you'll love Uday and Qusay Steinbrenner. Not only did you insult one of the greatest managers in your team's history with a one year contract, but you then completely embarrass yourself by trying to sling mud at the guy. Please, George did not make the Yankees a World Series machine in the late 90s, Torre did. That team was not bought it was manufactured. Take a look at the rosters and you won't find more bought players than homegrown ones. Only lately have those teams been assembled with ridiculous amounts of money and if you've been paying attention they haven't exactly won the World Series during any of those years. So good luck Yanks. For some reason I'm getting the image of a toppling statue being dragged through the streets by livid Yankee fans. Maybe it's just me...
If I hear one more person cry about the BCS standings I'm going to kill them. Win your games and the rest will take care of itself. If you're a good enough team then you'll be fine. Additionally, stop complaining about the schedules of other teams. Tell me that when USC and ND signed the deal for the two to play a couple of years ago they knew that ND was going to be a basement team. Things change. Luck has a lot to do with things. Stop losing to unranked teams if you want to be on top.
The Bills won yesterday so please stop over analyzing it. Yes, we are two last second field goals away from being 4-2. We know we're not a bad team. Who cares what everyone else says. These "experts" also picked Miami to go to the Super Bowl last year and for the Jets, Bengals, and Rams to all be playoff contenders this year. They're wrong, a lot.
The New England Patriots continue to sicken the world week after week. We get it, you're the best team in the NFL. However, suspensions, fines, and cheating all diminish that quite a bit. Combined with saying that you were worried about losing the game when you were up 42-21 in the 4th quarter, so you put back in Tom Brady to throw a 6th touchdown to make it 49-21 doesn't charm any of us. We know that you're on a mission to dispel rumors that your Super Bowl years were nothing but cheating, but running up the score doesn't really impress any of us. You were playing the Dolphins. Go back to bumming around in your tattered hoody like a 70s protester so that you can "stick it to the man." It's ok, we all realize that you're way smarter than us and we'll never understand you.
Glad to see that Willis McGahee (pronounced "Mc-GAY-hee") didn't get the satisfaction of beating his old team. Sorry to disappoint all of your illegitimate children here in WNY, but the first half of yesterday's game was exactly why we traded your sorry ass.
Alright, I'm off to head to my weekly guy's night with Michael Vick, Barry Bonds, Tim Donaghy, and Pacman Jones. We bring our dogs, syringes, and dollar bills and listen to Donaghy predict NBA games for the week. Remarkably he never gets the ones wrong that he officiates that day. We all figure that he just studies them really well. I wonder why he gets all those calls and texts from Pete Rose...
Long live sports,
