It's been a while for me...
1. Joe Torre bringing the Dodgers to the playoffs has to be salt in the wounds for the Yankee braintrust. That he's doing it in a terrible division doesn't soften the blow much, if at all.
2. If Joe Girardi hadn't already had a good season managing the Marlins, I would question his ability to right this ship. Even factoring that in, I'm not 100% convinced.
3. The Yankees have never recovered from October 2004, when the Red Sox were humiliated in the first three games, then dished out their own humiliation in the next four. The teams have since headed in opposite directions, with the Red Sox doing so many things right, and the Yankees so many things wrong since then.
4. The Rays story is not getting enough publicity. Just an amazing season.
5. The Mets are doing everything they can to miss the playoffs, but the Brewers are not co-operating.
6. Did the Rockies start their 22 game winning streak yet?
7. Lots of pressure on Lou Piniella in the playoffs. His post game press conferences are going to be interesting to say the least.
8. The football Giants are playing every weak team there is the next few weeks, except Ohio State.
9. On behalf of all Buckeye fans I'd like to apologize for my team wasting about 11 hours of your time in the last three big out of conference games they've played. Neither you or I will ever get that time back.
10. Another one of my teams that hasn't recovered from a big loss, this one being the first blowout against Florida. The team has played scared, and Tressel has coached scared in big games, ever since.
11. One more triathlon, this Saturday in Virginia. It's Olympic distance, swim a mile, bike 25 miles, run 6.2 miles. I am currently in the best shape of my life, with a resting pulse of 50.
12. So far I've completed two sprint triathlons, one in May and one four weeks ago on the Jersey shore. An Olympic is twice as long, but a lot more than twice as difficult.
13. Anyone familiar with Tony Horton's P90x workout DVD's? I think I may try that after a week rest from triathlon training.
14. So psyched Entourage is back. The Shield, Weeds and Mad Men too.
15. I watched an old Woody Allen/Diane Keaton movie last night, Love and Death. It was hysterical...check it out.
16. Why am I the only one who knows the Rangers will be absolutely terrible this year, unless Henrik does something he hasn't done yet...dominated an entire season. Every writer and every message poster I've seen thinks we're going to be good at least, perhaps great. You don't lose a Sean Avery and a Martin Straka and improve. You just don't.
17. Hank Moody is one of the great characters on television.
18. I feel bad for Ed Hochiuli. If I were Norv Turner I wouldn't pick a fight with Hochiuli if I meet him in an alley. That referee has some huge arms.
19. Tom who?
20. I really enjoyed the final between Jankovic and Serena Williams. Great tennis, and Serena is one athlete I'd really like to meet...she seems so genuine. Henrik Lundqvist is the other, for a whole different reason.
21. John McEnroe is one of the best announcers on television...in any sport.
22. This is my first year with NFL Sunday Ticket. Oh my, it's beyond amazing. The Red Zone channel alone is worth the price of admission.
23. How come the NFL game mix channel has the games in HD and the MLB game mix channel doesn't?
24. I really hope Hockey Night in Canada games are in HD this year.
25. A funny line from Jimmy Kimmel...he said Sarah Palin looks like one of those teachers in a Van Halen video who takes off her glasses, undoes her hair, and all of a sudden she's in a bikini and high heels.
26. Southside Johnny is on Conan tonight with LaBamba. I guess you have to be a Jersey Shore girl (or boy) to appreciate that, but you should watch anyway. Love the South.
27. Mike is better without the Mad Dog. I'm sick of getting screamed at by him and Craig Carton. I don't even listen to FAN in the morning anymore, I'm strictly Mike and Mike, with some Angelo Cataldi from 610 WIP Philly thrown in. I can only take Angelo in small doses too, though...too much 'guy' humor, that isn't as funny as he thinks it is.
28. Is there anything better than buying a whole new wardrobe because all of your jeans are way too big?
29. Peter Nedved. No offer for Brendan Shanahan, but Nedved is coming in for a tryout. The Edmonton Genius strikes again. Unbelievable.
30. Can someone please tell Henrik Lundqvist all my jeans are way too big?
