The best team in new york

Is not the Yankee's or the Mets. It's the Colardo Rockies. After (almost) sweeping the Yankee's the swept the Mets by scoring 17 runs! Good thing they got a week off. There gonna need it to find there pride.
Watched alot of TV (baseball) yesterday due the the weather and the fact I do not hit the gym again until tonight and here are a couple observations.
RED SOX

Did Popi go on Shaq's diet plan? He looks, well, good. Two or three years ago he was probley 35-40lb heavier than he is now. He does not look that intimidating at the plate anymore. Before you were afraid he was going to hit a home run with his stomach, now your just (kinda) worried about his bat.
Someone wake up J.D. Drew and tell him the season if 1/2 over. Really. I was watching him yesterday and actually saw him YAWN in the dugout. He was sitting next to Manny who was taking a nap in the corner.
Dice-K has been worth just about every penny. The little "stop and bump" he does in the middle of his wind up look like he's trying out for a porn film.
Mike Lowell. Nice year he's having. solid at 3rd. No injuries, and he has stepped up the power numbers a little. If A-rod pulls out of the all star game i would start him at 3rd.

YANKEES
Where's Giambi? Not since he went on the DL have i heard his name except for yesterday.

If the yanks have any chance of catching the SOX there gonna need A-rod. Rest him during the all star game. I know the fans voted him in an he may feel compelled to play but, Say he get's hurt. 10 million yankee fans and a 77 year old Steinbrenner (happy B-Day Georgie!) are gonna go bulistic. Why take a chance?

Johan Santana look awesome yesterday. He only made one mistake yesterday (matusie) and that left the yard. Good tune up for his 2nd 1/2 run where over the last two seasons he's 40 and 4 in the 2nd half. Let me clarify that a little further. 50 apperances (non playoff) and he is 40 wins agenst 4 losses. He's like the Oakland A's of pitching.

METS
Are 46-37 now with 4 games to play at Houston Before heading out to SF for the All Star game. Houston is playing well so the better watch out. Maine pitches tonight so lets see where he;s at before the rotation gets a few days off.
Could be worse for them. They have by no means played to there potentian this year so far. Carlos and Carlos are heating up. Glavine broke out the old "ben-gay ball" and seams to be back on track. Let see how this series playes out and then see how they fair during there 1st series back starting the 11th agenst Griffey and the Reds.

Announces and rendon baseball thoughts.
Remdog has lost him mind. I was listening to him yesteday and could barly keep track. I think he needs a vacation. He keep talking about his trip to the caribian. I like remmy, we need to keep him and put a 3rd guy in the booth. A guy who played like remmy but who is also alittle younger and less experienced in the booth. Lemmee Explain.....

I flipped over the the Yankee's game to see how Johan was doing (fantasy reasons) and Paul O'neil was doing the broadcast. I loved and hated him as a player. (Loved the way he played every day, day in , and day out.) Hated who he played for. He's awesome as a play by play guy. He has such a calmness about him when he speaks and when he tells a story your alost compelled to listen to him because of the way he played the game. Weather it's a story about Rob Dibble or Lou Pinnella you listen to the whole thing. During the 5th inning his wife brought cookies and put them in the booth next to where he was announcing. He could see them from where he was sitting and you could almost hear him salivating on the mic wanting to get to them. When the inning ended you actually heard the back of the chair hit the wall behind him and the headset hit the desk. And you thought to yourself, "Yup, I'd do the same thing." I hate announces who play to the croud. As much as i hate Michael Kay i can tollerate him when he has O'neal in the booth. My ultimate would be to put Paul O'neil, Al Lieter and John Flaherty in the booth at once and let em go. That would be fun, THAT would be hilarious, And do it during a Red Sox game. I could see Paul and Al getting into it during a pitcher vs. Hitter depate. And i could almost see the gys at the yes network having to have the hand on the bleep button if they ever really got into it. This i'll send them an e-mail now and see what we can do.

HOT DOGS
What's a 4th of July with out a hotdog eating compitition. I watched in horror as Jimmy Chestnut beat Kobavashi. What the F? After 5 minutes of watching, I was starting to gag. Holy crap. 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes. That's one dog every 10.9 seconds. I love to eat, and i am not a small person but, I had 4 hotdogs yesterday in 5 minutes and i thought i was gonna hurl. People pratice this? Get paid for this? Have fan clubs? I'm in the wrong buisness. I should start plucking homeless people of the street and entering them in these compititions. I could make a fortune. (this would work, I'm sure of it.)

BREAKING NEWS
Speaking of breaking, The suns just signed Grant Hill to a two year deal. It's worth 1.8 million a season for an aging veteran with papermache ankles. (do beleive me? Stand next to Grant Hill, then sneeze in the dirrection of his ankles. Then watch then snap quicker that a ginger bread man at a weight watchers meeting.) What was Steve Kerr thinking? I know. I need someone for a salery cap exemption who will stay on the DL all season after the 1st pratice, who avaliable?

A-rod to sit out todays game and get an MRI on his hammy. (S-M-A-R-T M-O-V-E!)

Mickelson starts the day at 4 over at Tigers own Golf Turny. Do you think when Tiger was deciding on where to play his Turny his 1st thought was "Where does Lefty absolutly suck playing golf?". Yup, Me too.

And best wishes
To WANG YAN.
The chinese gymnast who fell of the uneven bars and broke her (yes, Yang is a her) 5th and 6th vertebra. Which should have killed her. This week she started moving her hands above her head, and both her legs on her own. WOW.
(thought i would spread some good cheer especially after the my mortality rant and then the Benoit news.)

More Tomorrow. (mabey ; - )
