ALL AROUND SPORTS

Just to make sure, I had to wait for the pirate/giant playoff game to be finished but finally that 8-0 snoozefest is over as the GIANTS beat the crap out of the pirates IN PITTSBURGH.....

HOW ABOUT THAT KANSAS CITY/OAKLAND WILD CARD GAME on tuesday night? what a playoff game! manager NED YOST is out of his mind.....lifting BIG GAME JAMES shields after only 88 pitches and having his runner steal third with one out but he got away with it in a scintillating 9-8 victory in 14 innings.  STOLEN BASES, BUNTS, HIT & RUNS.....just like the baseball i grew up with.  a nice change of pace but yost is still out of his mind.

i'm happy for BILLY BUTLER. many years with terrible kansas city teams but now he gets a chance to shine in the NLDS.........good luck billy!

oakland general manager BILLY BEANE learned a tough lesson. when you go "all in" don't do it with 5 former cubs on your roster. the kiss of death to many teams over the years was having too many former north siders on your team and when you have 20% of your roster loaded with former cubs, you are simply doomed to fail.
rule of thumb:  the CUBS SUCK and they have for 565 years. you have to be very careful when melding that poison on your team.

ADAM DUNN says he's retiring.  i wish he had retired 4 freaking years ago.  an absolute waste of 56 million dollars. he sucked for all 4 years with the WHITE SOX.

i knew it! CHRIS SALE & ROBIN VENTURA got into a shouting match last week which was heard all the way from his office to the dugout.  let's see who wins this tug of war.  the manager with no fucking brains or the franchise pitcher. fuck robin ventura. 

why hasn't ronald belasario been released?

good luck to GORDON BECKHAM & ALEJANDRO DE AZA in the playoffs. two decent guys with limited baseball skills go to the post season.  i hope they tear it up.

who do you like for a better comeback year.....KOBE BRYANT or DERRICK ROSE? tough question.

JAY CUTLER is a stone loser.  oh, did i already say that?

did the USA blow in the ryder cup or what?  it's quite obvious that the europeans have taken center stage in golf and are in good shape for the next 10 years. the three day event was over after day two.
and no, TIGER would not have made a difference.

want to make some easy money with your bookie?  simply lay the points to illinois every week and line up at the pay window on monday.  the "fighting illini" are simply awful and have no chance in most football games.  THIS WEEK, purdue gets 10 points in champaign.  you know what to do.

you want the toughest conference in college football?  ok, that was too easy because we all know it's the SEC.  but how about the toughest division? the SEC WEST has 6 teams total and 5 of them are ranked in the top 15.  that's right, 33% of the best teams in the country are from one DIVISION in a conference.  incredible.

and did i mention that LSU's  graduation rate for athletes is HIGHER than the vaunted university of illinois?  absolute fact.

i'm spent.  adios
