Monday Wrap

Alot to go over in the racing world so lets get everything else out of the way 1st.

GOLF (yes Golf.)
KJ Choi wins Tigers tournment. (does anyone realize it was actually the AT&T tourney?) Solid putting and good greens play helped him win after Stuart Appleby played the last round like a soldier. (left, right, left, right) This is Choi's 2nd win in 6 weeks. (5 weeks ago he won the Arnold Palmer classic.) Woods finished a respectiable T6 after earlie troubles with the putter put him in a huge hole.

Tour De Steroids
My dealers not back yet, i'm going threw withdrawl. (I could snap any minute.) Robbie McEwen, who was Lances running mate for years, not breaks out on him own and wins the 1st stage. I'm assuning the frence immediatially sent his blood to the nearest lab for testing. Do we hate the french again? Or did we always hate them, then tollerated them for awhile, and now hate them again?

Weird sports of the weekend
#1 - Running of the wives (Finland) Who but the Fins could come up with this? Strap your wife on your shoulders and run her threw and obstical cource. (I watched some highlite on youtube and this is off-the-wall funny)
#2 - Running of the bulls (spain) Score is now Bulls 9 - people 0. 9 people wre injured during yesterdays run. Only 9? The Bulls need to pick-up the pace a little.

NBA -
Summer league is in full swing (althought i do not give a crap) Durant and Oden are throwing up donuts.

MLB -
1st yalf is over. Ended on a great not with Curtis Grandersons fantastic spiderman-scale-the-wall-take-away-a-homer catch yesterday.
A-rob hit his 30th of the season and 494th of carear yesterday. (He passed Lou Gherig and Fred-"the crime dog"- Mcgriff also).

Here are my 1st half awards.
MVP - (this kills me) A-Rod.
Cy Young - Chris Young (padre's) He'd be 12 and 1 if he had gotten a little more offence.
Biggest suprise (everyone saw coming) Prince Fielder.
Biggest suprise (no-one saw coming) Magglio Ordonez
Suprise team (MY) Marniers. (Only 1 game back of the Angles now.)
Biggest DUD - The White Sox.

MOTOR SPORTS
Watkins Glenn. Scott Dixon may have won but all the talk was Kanaan and Hornish jr. after the race. Ya, they got into it a little but yah, rubbins racing! I love it when they finish the race and get out of the car and want ot fight someone, WITH THERE HELMET ON! That's like two goalie's fighting in hockey. Sure, there could be pleanty of action, but no blood, nothing gets broken. (except a fist if someone actually throw a punch.)

almost finally -
Daytona.
#1 - Congrats to Jamie McMurray. This should solidify his comeback driver of the year award (i do not care what happens in the 2nd half.) #2 - Congrats to Jeff Gordon. (Why? Though you would never ask...) A) for helping Jamie win. He did not have to push him past Kyle(his teammate) but he stayed in line and did what he was supposto to do. B) Telling the world (or at least everyone watching on tv) he was happy Jamie won. I have not read one word where JG said one thing positive or negitive about Kyle which means he C) kept his mouth shut like he was suppose to. (more on this below.)
#2 - Congrats to Carl Edwards. His push was the one who let Jamie win. He may still look like a dork, but i kinda like Carl now.

And finally,
I could not wait to go off on Kyle Busch.
O.k. I HATE KYLE BUSCH. I hate him in the same way some people hate Tony Stewart or Jeff Gordon. If he was lying on the side of the road and bleeding from his eyes and all i had to do is say "hi" to him to save his life, I would cut out my tounge 1st, HATE HIM. I hate watching his interviews, get mad at the tv when i see him in a commercial, refuse to eat frosted flakes anymore, and NEVER, EVER, go to CarQuest, PERIOD.
NOW, that being said, one of the reason i despise/hate/loath him so much is he always comes off like the youngest child who did not get his way.
Jeff gordon didn't push me, wahhhhh!!!!
I lost my ride to Junior, wahhhh!!!
Tony hit me , Wahhh!!!
Look, Kyle asked out of his contract about 4 weeks ago before the hired JR. He's probley going to Penske Racing with his brother and Ryan (Newman). What did he expect. To get treated like gold and handles with kid gloves until he's out? F-that. This is racing. Teams race as individuals. I'm sure there is a limit as to how much Roush and Hendrick want there drivers to push this, but face the fact, Do what you have to do to win the race, period. Now he's pissed Jeff did not help him. Look i saw parts of the race and Jamie was clearly the supperior car. What was Jeff to do? Get behind the slower car? My judgement may be a little clouded because of the fact i do not like (hate) him, but he's wrong. If he was smart (and he's not. He's a moron who can not even get a HOT looking girlfriend) he would shut his trap and just get into the car and race with what he's given. Next year when he's racing for Penske or Ginn he can bitch all he wants. But for now, SHUT - THE - F&@$- UP. No one (especially me) wants to hear your winny little ass talking about, well, anything.
