HAPPY DANCE!

how sweet is this? the whiny, finger biting, hair pulling bitches from vancouver gag it up in game 7 and their fans set the city on fire! perfect.

and now the cubs........

the cubs need to re-shuffle and even the most stubborn fan should understand that so how about this? you're stuck with soriano thru 2014 and he may be the worst left fielder in the history of the game with a self admitted fear of the wall. coupled with bad legs that are getting worse, the only thing this guy does well is streak hit. how about first base? it would save his legs and other than the occassional pop foul, remove his contact with the bricks at wrigley. think about it.

you could do a whole lot worse than soriano, barney and castro from first to short and the move would open an immediate spot for an outfielder. i think everyone realizes than carlos pena was a one year rental whose better days are behind him so let him teach soriano the position. keep ryan dempster, jeff baker and the kids but send the rest of the veterans packing. bite the bullet for a couple of years and develop the kids rather than wasting time with under achieving garbage. the attendance has fallen 10% to date and it's only going to get worse UNLESS you show the fans that you have a plan.

speaking of having a plan...it would be very nice if the white sox would make a move to obtain an established closer....NOW. if you're "all in" as they say, then you do whatever to win it all and if that cost you a prospect or two, so be it. sergio santos did pretty well for a guy who's only been pitching three years but his era over the past ten appearances is 9.41 so somebody figured out to lay off his non-strike slider and wait for his mistake when he has to throw a fastball. make a move.

are we going to have the NFL this year? on time? i think so because both sides are scared to death over the the possibility of an 'outsider' like a federal judge deciding their fates. i find it very interesting that progress was only made after the lawyers were eliminated from the negotiations and 'plain speak' entered the process. game on.

the miami heat are 2-1 favorites to win the title next season and i think that's pretty accurate because they're going to get better with the addition of career role players, rather than the last minute addition of former starters who had to learn the position. they didn't sign gag boy until july last year and had little time or money left to pursue the supporting players but it's different now because they've been targeting acquisitions since last summer and have a precise understanding of their salary cap. the bulls will have to get better because the heat will stand in their way every season, just like the pistons did to michael's bulls back in the late 80's.

talk about self prophecy. lebron james said last year that he didn't want to be 'the guy' anymore as he was with cleveland for 7 years. he definitely got his wish as he proved to millions that he wasn't 'the guy' over and over and over again. the king is dead.

will tiger ever return to form? will he win another major? his decline is unfortunate because the PGA tour is filled with anonymous faces and most have little or no media 'heat' to propel them to instant recognition.

watched men's lacrosse last night. interesting game. hockey on land and pretty physical. well conditioned people. lots of scoring. try it.

gotta run. almost time for the white sox to lose to the twins again. thank god for the rainout on tuesday. saved us a three game sweep. adios.
