Good Afternoon....
Phil Kessel is having a terrific start to the season, leading the NHL in scoring to this point....But I'm very pleased that the Bruins have Tyler "The Flyer" Seguin....This kid is gonna be something....He is not Jumbo Joe Thornton and he's not Phil Kessel....Seguin is a mature 19 year old with blazing speed and a crackerjack shot....Born to score....Claude Julien kept the reins too tight last year but he's starting to loosen up....Sure the kid will make mistakes....But his upside is sky high....Another Boston superstar.
Speaking of Boston superstars, at least we get to enjoy Jacoby "All-World" Ellsbury one more year before he gets outta town faster than Tito Francona did....And that was fast....Trust me, there is no way that All-World signs with Boston unless the Sox make him the highest paid outfielder in baseball history....MVP winner will be named soon and it's gotta be Ellsbury....After crunching the numbers all signs point to Jacoby....The Red Sox will regret the way they treated him in 2010....The guy was hurt, simple....But he answered all critics with his performance on the field in 2011.
I don't know if anyone else noticed but there is a World Series going on....Instead of the mess swirling around Yawkey Way....Good World Series with both teams playing National League baseball in a National League park....Reminds me of how badly I detest the designated hitter....Fundamentals (except for Pujol's missed cut-off), timely hitting, pitching and managerial chess moves....Real baseball....Nice comeback in ninth last night by the Rangers, clutch hit and great baserunning by Elvis Andrus.
Too bad she retired her show....Has anyone needed Oprah more than Josh Beckett and John Lackey?....Can't see Lackey putting on the Boston jersey again and Beckett has to do the mea culpa press conference....I dunno if he can pull it off 'cause those people from Texas got a pretty good chip on their shoulder.
What part of the owners are intent on killing the 2011-2012 season do the NBA player's association not understand?....Fellas, you're gonna cave sooner or later....Go overseas....We don't care....You have no leverage and you've been spoiled rotten for too long....Not that I'm on the owner's side but I certainly have no sympathy for the overpaid, underperforming player....Great move by the players bringing Kevin Garnett to the negotiating table....Pissed everybody off.
Week 7 in the NFL....A little fish n' chips and a pint are in order for halftime of the Chicago-Tampa Bay game to be held in London....Look for Tampa to pick off Jolly Jay Cutler more than twice....What is Carson Palmer capable of after one week of practice?....Look for lots of Kansas City blitzes and lots of Darren McFadden....Three other QB's are scheduled to start for the first time on Sunday....Beck with Washington and Ponder with Minnesota are two....Gotta like Cam and Mr. Rodgers....The headline story is Tim Tebow leading the Broncos into Miami....The storyline is set, Tebow's alum the Florida Gators are being honored this weekend and it helps that the Dolphins are in the Suck for Luck sweepstakes....Big game for Timmy.
