Two visionary ABCNews.com readers spin tales even Carrie Bradshaw couldn’t top.
I grew up watching Rick Pitino bitch at press conferences and Antoine Walker doing his shimmy. But it wasn’t because they played in Boston and I lived in Massachusetts. But that didn’t translate to other sports and it’s pretty easy as to why I didn’t grow up watching the Knicks, Giants, or Jets because my parents weren’t big basketball or football fans.With basketball I’ve always been a fan of players rather than teams, but if I were to pick a team as my favorite (after Michael Jordan’s retirement) it would be the Celtics. The first NBA game I attended was a Celtics game. When they came back to the states, they landed in New Jersey with family, and as a result became Yankee fans.It just so happens that they moved to Massachusetts, had kids, and took them to Yankee Stadium instead of Fenway Park. So I grew up a Yankee fan and it’s pretty hard not to; they’re the greatest franchise in professional sports. They were both born in New York City before each moved to Puerto Rico within 6 months.
It’s pretty simple.I became a Yankees fan through my parents. So, in effect, it’s Red Sox Nation. Second, I’m a Boston Celtics fan.Now you’re probably thinking, “What the ****?”Yup, I know Most people probably don’t think it’s possible, nor allowed But I’m going to tell you how it happened. A pretty big one too.I grew up going to Yankee Stadium, watching Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera demonstrate greatness and Scott Brosius and Chad Curtis adding enough to win championships (I’m 19, so that’s growing up for me).So you’re probably thinking, “OK, and…?”.First, I’m from Massachusetts. Not from Boston, but Worcester, the second most-populated city in New England, located about 45 minutes from Beantown. I am a New York Yankees fan. Again, you didn’t need me to tell you that he makes a fraction of what Dontrelle Willis makes.Once again, the Marlins seem to time the right moment to sell-high on their big players and find cheap, young players to fill in.I commented on Rich Lederer’s recent column over at The Baseball Analysts and pointed out the ‘Top Three/Bottom Three’ phenomenon.Rich responded with “just as practice doesn’t make perfect…perfect practice makes perfect, spending does not equal success…only wise spending equals success.”I totally agree.Now, let’s just see if this can hold up throughout the rest of the season..
None of those three are making more than $500,000 this year.Cantu has replaced Cabrera at third, and he has hit more home runs and has a higher OPS than his predecessor so far this season.You didn’t need me to tell you that he’s making a fraction of what Cabrera makes.And what about Andrew Miller?The 23-year old has a 2.77 ERA in his last nine starts, and he has been one of the best starting pitchers in the National League during the months of May and June. Who needs $200 million anyway?As I write this, the three lowest-payroll teams in baseball (Marlins, Rays, and A’s) have a better record than the top three payrolls (Yankees, Mets, and Tigers).The Marlins continue to exceed expectations.They’re three games back in the NL East and six games over .500.In the offseason, they unloaded Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis, in an effort to cut a third of their payroll, to a league-low $21 million.For what its worth, the Yankees are paying Alex Rodriguez $28 million this year, and they find themselves with a worse record than the Marlins.The Marlins have received huge contributions from unlikely guys, like second baseman Dan Uggla (156 OPS+), third baseman Jorge Cantu (121 OPS+), and outfielder Cody Ross (.503 SLG). Hopefully, in time, Keith Hernandez will come down from the broadcasting booth to run this team the way that it should be run, with a firm hand, and with a strict mindset.. How much more time will it take until the rest of the team follows suit? More importantly, at the end of the year, who is going to want to take over this circus? Right now, taking the Mets job is a career suicide, and any smart individual would not even interview for the position, let alone take it!What can be done then? Right now, the skies are very cloudy over Flushing, Queens. The Mets lost to the Angels before, and, in addition, Manuel took out Jose Reyes after an injury when he did not want to leave the game. True, Manuel was only looking out for his star shortstop, but considering that Reyes threw his helmet off in disgust afterwards, it is safe to say that he did not agree with the call. One game in, and one player is already upset, and a huge player at that.
Combine this with the fact that many are headcases on the team to begin with, and this is a perfect recipe for disaster.The move has already backfired in a way. Soon enough, the players are going to be wondering whether or not they are safe as well. One need not look any further than the shining example set forth by Billy Wagner, who, just a few weeks ago, blamed only the players of the team for not playing as expected.During the middle of the season, a move like this is never a good thing People near the top of the organization lost their jobs. In addition, the team fired Randolph right after the beginning of a West Coast road trip.Finally, in what many are deeming a classless move, they announced the decision through a press release at 3:15 AM EST. Leave it to the Mets to make such a terrible call. The players liked Randolph, even if they were not playing up to par.

Overall Unit Grade: 8/10Expectations: I truly believe McKelvin is going to improve significantly in his second year as he assumes a full time starting role alongside McGee and that is reason enough to give this unit a very high overall grade. He is now batting .304 on the season with three home runs, 32 RBI, 32 runs, and seven stolen bases Today, Aybar faces Brett Anderson and the Athletics. Frank Gore San Francisco 49ersGore has put together two straight “down years” of 1,000-yards rushing, and arguably so, simply because of his remarkable talent.The 49ers are once again determined to run the ball, and if the offense around him can develop some consistency, he could get back to his 2006 numbers.Gore is too talented to put up mediocre stats for three straight seasons.6. An additional year to develop would’ve helped tremendously, but I can’t blame him for chasing the dollar signs.Mullens has great athleticism for a seven-footer (a white boy at that), and could potentially be a superstar. That season, the Falcons’ offense was led by TJ Duckett and Warrick Dunn, and Vick was used mostly on play action roll outs and designed runs.The Vikings already have one of the better running backs in the league in Adrian Peterson and are the proud owners of a tight end, Visanthe Visancoe, in the mold of Vick’s former favorite target, Alge Crumpler.Assuming Favre doesn’t decide to return again, and arguably even if he does, Vick would be the most talented quarterback on the roster.
Although I rooted for him, I just never took a great liking to him. Maybe it was because he replaced Kevin Greene. Will he? Won’t he? Favre’s annual retirement debate has become the nation’s new pastime (sorry Baseball fans) And well frankly, I’m sick of it. Opponents batting average against the Tigers from .274 in 2008 to .249 this season. It’s important for perspective purposes to remember that today’s NFL teams rely on dual running backs to carry the load.Lets go back to his rookie season in 2005 where he rushed for 907 yards (4.4 YPC) while sharing carries with Ricky.

The Knicks have finished under .500 in the last six seasons, their worst stretch since 1960-1966. Yet, according to Forbes Magazine, the Knicks are the most valuable basketball franchise in the United States, valued at approximately $608 million. The NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs have missed the playoffs four years in a row for the first time ever in their history. Wherever you look at sports today, there seems to be a growing trend of storied and respected franchises becoming unrespectable. The New York Knickerbockers of the NBA, one of two original NBA teams founded in 1946, are in one of the league’s largest TV markets. Once they are there, you never know what will happen; ask the Rockies last year, or the Cardinals the year before, and on and on. Things are shaping up to be an eventful year at Wrigley, and with the offense the Cubs have, and a dominant pitcher like Big Z, next year could finally be here.. However, he’s hitting around .300, and he plays every position on the field. He’ll start at second, move to either corner-outfield spot, and has even played first and third when needed. There is still plenty of baseball to be played, and no doubt the Cubs will hit a slump at some point in the year, at which point all of Chicago will start blaming goats and nerds who wear headphones to games. That being said though, if the Cubs play .500 the rest of the year, they’ll finish at 91-71, and that should be good enough to get back in the playoffs.
Not only has Soto shown to have a great glove, but he is one of the best hitters on the team, and without question one of the top-five catchers in the game. Arguably, the most valuable player on the Cubs’ offense has been Mark DeRosa. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves, and he isn’t a feared hitter in the lineup at all. It was tough (and still is) for the Cubs’ faithful in the bleachers to embrace Edmonds as a Cub (he was a notorious Cubs-killer for years with the Cardinals), but he’s had a few big hits and always brings a great glove with him. The Cubs took a gamble by counting on rookie catcher Geovany Soto to be the everyday guy and provide a solid bat This is a gamble that has paid off very well. They found a player who can swing from the left side of the plate: Jim Edmonds. Johnson took over for Pie on a full-time basis in April, and he hasn’t looked back. The Cubs were also able to add a veteran to platoon with Johnson in center. The Felix Pie experiment failed again, and the Cubs were lucky the Blue Jays released Reed Johnson at the end of Spring Training. Carlos Zambrano has been electric all year, and will likely be joined by Carlos Marmol, the most dominant middle-reliever in all of baseball. The other question mark in Spring Training was who would be the closer? Kerry Wood beat out Carlos Marmol and Bob Howry, and while he’s had a few hiccups, he has been dominant as well. There weren’t many questions about the Cubs’ offense at the start of the year. The only issue was their starting center fielder, or lack thereof. He has been a dominant starter at home (8-0), and he is vying for a spot on the All-Star team. He won’t be the only pitcher on the National League team from the Cubs.
The other two spots were up for grabs though, and ultimately won by former closer Ryan Dempster and Jason Marquis. Rich Hill, who was counted on to win 15 games and pitch around 200 innings, was a complete disaster and is currently trying to throw strikes in Iowa. The person that has saved the rotation is Ryan Dempster. For starters (bad pun, I know), who would take the ball every five days in the rotation? Three of the five spots were filled with Carlos Zambrano, Ted Lilly, and Rich Hill. However, I don’t think many, if any, would have predicted the Cubbies to be the best team in baseball. Coming into Spring Training, there were many questions about the Cubs’ pitching staff. Not only do the Cubs have the best record in the game (45-25), they have scored the most runs in baseball and allowed the fewest in the National League (fourth fewest in all of MLB). Coming off of a divisional title in 2007, it isn’t a huge surprise that the Cubs are having another good year. The point is, seventy games into the 2008 baseball season; the Chicago Cubs are the best team in baseball.
It’s been 100 years since the Chicago Cubs last hoisted a World Series trophy in the air. Now that I think about it, did trophies even exist in 1908? That really isn’t the issue at hand, however. The Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club is owned by an American, the business language is ENGLISH but more importantly, language has NOTHING to do with the performance of a player or a coach.As long as the organisation will keep bend over to satisfy these “fans” and make sure they have a minimum of French Canadian players, make sure that the coach speaks French, even if it means to get 2nd best for that reason, the Montreal Canadiens will only come close to going all the way.DP. A politician even tried to get involved.I understand that people want to preserve their language and heritage, but they also need to face reality.Hockey is a business. How many times have I heard complaints about the fact that Koivu doesn’t speak French, or that there are not enough “Quebecois” on the team?The fans says a coach MUST speak French to be behind the bench. To be honest, I would rather have Teemu Selanne than these two guys.This has been a major problem for the team for many years now. Frankly, I wasn’t impressed.Latendresse skates with a grand piano on his back and a fridge tied to his skates Lapierre works hard but plays like a headless chicken. Guess what? 99.999 percent of callers said the Kovalev is untouchable.It looks like these so-called “fans” are suffering from bipolarity.I was listening to that same show this morning and everybody were saying that the Canadiens HAVE to draft Quebec native players.I haven’t missed many Habs games this year, and I saw Latendresse and Lapierre play.
At the end of the 2006-2007 season, I was listening to the radio and 99.999 percent of callers to a radio show were saying “The team has to get rid of Kovalev.”This year, Kovalev was the team’s top scorer and played amazing all year. Mayfield left after a few races, and Schrader and Leffler have been in and out of the car.DEI: Paul Menard’s contract with the team ends at the end of the season. Ryan Newman has been a great driver, but there is a feeling that he will not be with Penske Racing in 2009. He can be a menace in the key with his tremendous wingspan but he’s soft.Plain and simple.Looking around the league the stereotype cannot be rationally argued against.
