What a weekend

Where to start............

I saw the ESPY'S last night
Kinda boring. The only thing i still have burning in my brain is LeBron dunking the baby and then doing a skit of Bobby Browns "My Perogitive". He was funny. I did not catch the while thing as i keep flipping the channel over to Spike TV and watching reruns of C.S.I. Vegas.

Phillies 1st to 10,000 losses.
Not sure is that is actually something to be proud of. YES? NO?
Philly fans are known for being the toughest around. By toughest i mean for actual fighting. Need examples? (thought you would never ask.)
#1 - The "battery game". Throwing D batteries at Giants players. (that's class)
#2 - A.I willing and carrying the team on hos shoulders to the playoffs. Then after they were sweepted running Iverson out of town. (Iverson was such a bad ass he played for a half a season with a F-U attutude twards the croud.)
#3 - The late 80's for the Phillies. Just a horrible time in baseball for philly fans. (Missed drafting Griffey, Missed A-Rod, And missed Paul O'Neil, Greg Maddox, Norm Charlton, ect, ect. I dare you to name one of there draft choices from the late 80's and earlie 90's that is still in the game?. Just a shame.).
#4 - Donovan McNabb carried them to the superbowl. They loose and all the in-fighting and fan fighting starts.I remember going down to Simkar after that and listening to the sports radio, off the charts on the comedy scale. Drunken philly fans (at 10am) just killing Donovan and the rest of the Eagles.
For as long as i can remember i have always heard people say that philly was the toughest city to play in, beacuse of the fans. There attutudes change faster than a brides after she says "I do". (I'm twice divorsed. I earned the right to say that.)

Ichiro gets nailed
By a 96mph Verlander fastball. It was unintensional (I think). He has a contusion (bruise) right on his calf. Might slow him down a half a step.

Beckham get introduced to USA
The US. must hate soccer. Every story i read about David Beckham said he was 38. No i just read a story in the english paper(online) that says he 32. How old is this kid?

Pujols
Nails 4 homers in the last 12 at bats. Now all the sluggers next year will be dying to get in the derby if there slumping. OR MAYBE This is Alberts way of telling LaRussa to go F himself? Tony did not put him in at the end of the all star game. Maybe (as stated in a pervious post) this is Pujols way of screaming "Hey LaRussa, Should have put me in the game!" A pissed of, something to prove Pujols is almost as dangerious as Gary Sheffield on a new cycle.

Speaking of Cycles...
My dealer hooked up with a hot woman on paris. He never coming back (so he tells her.) Does anyone but me know who winning at the Tour-de-Steroids?

Mourning to play "one more year"
"And this is my last year" Alonzo Mourning is going to play one more year. Espn will be calling you for a job in one year and one day from now.
This makes me think, Is it a good idea to announce your retirement a year in advance? We do it in the real world. I remember when Riggie did it. (Reggie Miller for those of you asking.) (He played for the Pacers). To his credit even Madision Squre Garden gave him a standing ovation. (which totally cought him off guard as Knicks fans HATED him.) But New York reconginizes that Reggie played hard every day. Same can be said about Mourning. Zo had this "chip" about him when he first came up. There were a few bigger guys but no one, I mean NO ONE was faster for a big man. Malone (Carl, UTAH JAZZ) could give him a run for a quarter or two but not the whole game. I think Zo will draw a good croud for his fairwell tour. I know i'll try and see him in Jersey when i go this year.
(o.k. I still hate watching basketball, ON T.V. Going live and having 4th row courtside is another thing. The guys are bigger, the woman are sluttier, and i also want to see a game sober. See if it is actually interesting. I wanna see one Vince Carter old fashion Tommahawk dunk. Then It may have a chance to come crawling back into my sports life.)

More tomorrow.
