It's been a while for me...
1. How great was the 8th inning for a Yankee fan? Papelbon gives up the go ahead run, Wagner allows the AL to tie it in the bottom of the inning.
2. How can the umps get so many calls wrong? Tejada waves instead of actually tagging, the guy who was safe at home...do they actually look at the base, or just decide if the ball got there first?
3. I felt so badly for Dan Uggla...his all star dream turned into a nightmare. Thank goodness the AL didn't score in that inning.
4. Should Mariano really be showing Halladay and Kazmir how to throw the cutter?
5. I went to Maine and the Mets won every game while I was gone...now I'm back!
6. Speaking of Maine, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are absolutely stunning. Gorgeous rocky cliffs and mountains right over the ocean.
7. Nieces and nephews drag me up to Cadillac Mountain at 4:30 AM to be amongst the first people in the US to see that day's sunrise.
8. Is this when the Yankees catch fire? Or is that next week? Or the week after that? I forget. Sadly, I think the Yankees did too.
9. The Knicks Italian draft pick played one summer league game and hurt his back...Mama Mia!
10. How could Tom Seaver not be on the field with the other Hall of Famers...in New York?!?
11. Plans have finally been announced to replace the Nassau Mausoleum with a new arena...they'll be playing in a circus tent instead!
12. On a related note, the dopeLanders have contacted Ringling Brothers regarding the third jersey they'll be using next season.
13. The NHL schedule is announced today...excellent.
14. Next triathlon is Saturday August 23, this time in my home state of NJ.
15. I don't want to brag (actually I do!), but after training for so long I am now in REALLY good shape for once. I followed nieces and nephews all over the huge rocks in Maine while the rest of the adults pooped out after about ten minutes.
16. What a shame, watching a Tour de France stage with the riders climbing up the Pyrenees (last week) or the Alps (this week) is amazing. It's just difficult to care when you know most of the field has been cheating. Kind of like MLB 5-10 years ago.
17. Am I the only one who loves watching the Little League world series, and all of the regional qualifying games leading up to it? I became interested when the local team from Toms River won it all a few years ago.
18. Can someone please find a way to get me interested in the British Open? I used to watch golf and I'd like to get into the majors, but I just can't seem to do it. Are any of the golfers hotties?
19. How can Brett Favre be so wrong on the timing of most every decision he makes?
20. T-minus less than six months until Ohio State gets destroyed in the National Championship game.
21. Roger, Roger, Roger...
22. Seems like everyone in all of New England is a Red Sox fan and displays it proudly...wonder if that was the case five years ago?
23. Don't NFL players usually report by now?
24. Joe Girardi looked like he didn't know where to sit when Terry Francona took over his dugout for the night.
25. Terry Francona is one of the classiest guys in sports.
26. Did anyone watch the celebrity softball game Monday night? Is there a worse athlete in the world than Chris Rock? How about the double play Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal turned?
27. Glen Sather is losing it again...six years for Wade Redden is a joke. Dimitri Kalinin is lazy, I guess Sather thinks he'll turn it on in his contract year. The Rangers know they'll miss Jagr and Avery, not sure if they realize what they'll be missing without Marty Straka...what a warrior he's been.
28. On the flip side, to Sather's credit the Rangers have been churning out a lot of quality young players (Staal, Dubinsky, Girardi, Dawes, Callahan), and the trend will continue with Bobby Sanguinetti, Lauri Korpikoski and Alexei Cherepanov.
29. Doesn't Henrik know I'm in bikini shape again? When is he going to call already???
30. Gotta go to the pool...
