OK, i admit it. being basically house bound since my latest knee surgery, i've become a WORLD CUP soccer whore and i actually know some of the players by name, although i don't think i'll ever understand their 'offsides' rulings. believe it or not, the game sunday between PORTUGAL and the UNITED STATES was riveting to the very end when portugal tied the game with twenty seconds to go to stay alive in the tournament and deny temporarily, advancement for our boys into the next round. thursday at 10:30 will determine who moves on and who goes home. world cup fever....catch it!
for years, baseball has used the term 'JUNE SWOON' to describe teams that were strong in april & may but fall apart during month number three and unfortunately, the WHITE SOX have been swooning the first three weeks, going 7-13 after finishing May at .500 for the first two months.
check out these stats since June 1st:
tyler flowers average has dropped 70 points
gordon beckham -40 points
alexie ramirez -30 points
plus DE AZA who sits at .210 and Dunn at .230 are still in the starting lineup.
add that to a bullpen that absolutely sucks (DONALD FREAKING BELLISARIO is the closer???), a manager who has AA skills and we're in big trouble. 86 games left and 35-51 the rest of the way is a definite reality which puts them at 92 losses.
the bright spots have been ADAM EATON, JOSE ABREU & CONOR GILLASPIE but five automatic outs each trip thru the lineup won't score many runs. do something!
i see where the WNBA's CHICAGO SKY has reached out to the lesbian community to become a big part of their fan base. big surprise there. if ever a league should fold.......
women's soccer goalie HOPE SOLO was arrested for beating up TWO family members over the weekend. ever hear her on a talk show? she scares the hell out of me. but i'm sure all charges will be dropped or the sentence will be something soft due to her celebrity.
out for now.
