Weekend in Review

Congrats to Barry Bonds, Tom Glavine, and Alex Rodriguez on reaching 755, 300, and 500 respectively this weekend.

Bud Selig, you are an asshole. You watched with indifference as Bonds tied Aaron's mark and then stood with hands in pockets and a blank stare. As the Commissioner of MLB you should have shown a bit of class and applauded as the record was tied. No one is asking you to give the guy a hug. But you do represent baseball and this was a bad way to do so.

The Yankees scored another Touchdown yesterday and added a 2 point conversion to sweep the Royals and bring their post All Star break record to 18-7. The next 5 weeks will decide whether the Yankees make the playoffs. After facing the Blue Jays tonight they will face Cleveland, Anaheim, Boston, and Detroit over the next few weeks. By September 16th we should know what this team is made of and if they will be playing in October.

Joba Chamberlain should join the Yankees in Toronto for today's matinee with the Blue Jays. Let's hope that Joba plays the role of Mo in 1996.

John from Cincinnati is one strange show. I still am not quite clear about what the heck is going on here and the season finale is a week away. Anyone with some insight into this is welcome to be heard here.

The Weekend Ahead...

It looks like Bud Selig may have to cancel his golf games this weekend and grab a cab over to Miller Park to see his favorite Left fielder play some ball this weekend. Personally I think that Boche should wait until there is a Selig sighting, and then he should take Barry from the lineup. The Giants are not in a pennant race as they absolutely stink. Why shouldn't Barry break this record at home? I for one will stand up and applaud the man, as should all of the fans in attendance.

Yanks and Devil Rays play 4: The Yankees blew their chance to be 6 games back yesterday as the Sawx again lost, this time to the Pale Hose. With Matt DeSalvo and Kei Igawa each pitching during tomorrow's double header. let's just hope for a split. Or an early win then some thunderstorms would work as well.

British Open: Sergio Garcia has the lead after the first round and we all know that will not last very long. This guy has Van de Velde written all over him if he even made it to Sunday with a lead. Look for a European to take this one, unless Tiger does his thing.

Michael Vick: When Marcus Vick is referred to as the "good brother" you know that somewhere along the lines you took a wrong turn. Big brother is not very bright
