Just sports

Man, this has been a tough 6 weeks in the sports world, losing numerous HALL OF FAME players including TOM SEAVER, LOU BROCK, GALE SAYERS, BOB GIBSON, WHITEY FORD and today, we mark the passing of the great JOE MORGAN. 

I understand if you're under the age of 50, these are just names to you but i watched them growing up and they were all great at their respective positions.
                                                           
 I can remember sitting in the left field bleachers at Wrigley for a 1:30 game and watching Gibson duel another hall of famer, Fergie Jenkins, watching all nine innings and still catching the 3:45 Addison bus and heading home.  They were all business.
                                                        ********
Congrats to the LA LAKERS and Lebron's resume just got a little bigger but 4-6 in the finals isn't 6-0.
                                                          ******
Adios to RICK RENTERIA, who was fired by the WHITE SOX today after leading them to the playoffs for the first time in 12 years. Management feels a different type of manager (AJ HINCH) would be better to take them to the top of the mountain, just like when PHIL JACKSON replaced DOUG COLLINS as the Bulls' head coach. Good luck to you, Rick, because you are truly a nice guy.
                                                         *******
LSU is finding all about losing 15 of 22 starters plus 4 main coaches and having to rebuild. Going 1-2 and playing no defense is sending shudders throughout Tiger land. But it will change.
                                                               *******
The DODGERS & THE BRAVES.  whoyagot? I hope that TAMPA sends the astros home in quick fashion although a dodger/stros rematch would be must see.
                                                            *******
Bears? the worst 4-1 team in NFL history. They remind me of the autumn colors on the trees so enjoy it while you can.
                                                           *******
Tom Brady, follow closely. 1st down, then 2nd down, then 3rd, now fill in the blank.
                                                              *******
wide receiver Anthony Miller? disappointment.
                                                               *******
GOAT in tennis? not even a debate. RAFAEL NADAL. 20 grand slam titles. wow.
                                                                *******
Bam! NFL coach #1 bites the dust. Atlanta Falcons coach DAN QUINN is shanghaied after starting the season 0-5. He should have been fired after the super bowl when he pissed away a 28-3 halftime lead.
                                                                 *******
And how about that WNBA???  hah! just kidding
                                                                    *******
Gotta run.  later,
