Good Morning....
The Phillies showed 'em whose boss last night....Behind Cliff Lee's third consecutive complete game shutout, Philadelphia bests Boston in the opener of an interesting three game set....Lee was dominating....Red Sox nation travels so well that it was refreshing to see and hear a packed stadium full of hometown fans at a Red Sox away game....Up and coming Dominic Brown provided the offense and Jimmy Rollins flashed some glove to back Lee up....Gio Gonzalez throws eight innings of one-hit ball as the A's nip Florida 1-0 in a late game....What's up with the Marlins?....A stable of young studs (Morrison, Gabby Sanchez, Anibal Sanchez, Stanton and Hanley Ramirez) but they're just not clicking....And now the bad news that ace Josh Johnson has suffered a setback in his comeback and will visit Dr. James Andrews today....Uh-Oh....This is not good for Florida and Fantasy Baseball owners....Jose Reyes hit his 15th triple of the year as he continues his sizzling year....Only Ty Cobb has more triples and stolen bases in his first 1,000 games than the oft-injured Reyes.
Congrats to the Gamecocks of South Carolina as they repeat as College World Series champs....Michael Roth tosses 7 2/3 innings on three days rest and South Carolina leaves an impressive streak of 11 straight College World Series wins.
The Roger Clemens trial starts next Wednesday and I can hardly wait....Fireworks all week, starting on Monday the 4th....Liar,liar pants on fire....This is Must-See TV....I haven't checked but its gotta be on somewhere....And just when you think that arrogant, obnoxious, jerk-off, lie-spewing Clemens will get his comeuppence you remember that O.J. was found not guilty....As Mr. Intense (Kevin Garnett) once said, "anything is possible."
What's up with the Canadien authorities that want to talk to Bruins defensemen Zdeno Chara about his hit on Montreal's Max Pacioretty a while back....He hit the stanchion....It wasn't a "criminal action"....It wasn't even a bad check....It's a safety issue....This is not the first time a player has hit a stanchion (the corner of the glass) and been injured....C'mon....NHL, fix it please....Montreal's justice system must have better things to do....Using their logic I wouldn't want to be a NFL safety.
Mr. "Jiggy, Jiggy" himself, Antoine Walker, has finally pleaded guilty to unpaid gambling debts worth $750,000....Probation....Of course....Another example of an overpaid pro athlete who had the world by the balls and pissed it away.
Former ESPN anchor Brett Haber bet Craig Kilborn "that we could invent a catch phrase that meant absolutely nothing and if we used it a couple of days in a row, it would catch on. Soon after, they were eating Mexican food and someone said, "Salsa!!" Kilborn used it on highlights three consecutive nights, and on the fourth, a fan at a game held up a sign: "Salsa...Sportscenter is Next." - "Those Guys Have all the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN" by James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales
