Now it all makes sense…

July 3, 2008 in baseball, Uncategorized

I opened up MSN this morning and to my (lack of) surprise, there was a huge headline: "Wife ditches A-rod for Rock Star".

Apparently, A-Rod’s wife, Cynthia, has been shacked up with rocker Lenny Kravitz in Paris, while A-rod is running around with Madonna.

Here is my question: Cynthia is in Paris. A-Rod is playing big league ball-Who is watching their 2 kids? How about instead of trying to out do each other with who can sleep with the bigger super star, A-Rod and his wife (not yet divorced) focus on their kids.

Better yet, how about we get back to the roots of sports: Athletes are known for playing thier sport, not sleeping around. Managers were fired face to face, not via text messages. Players played for the love of the sport, not avoiding camp because they have not received a billion dollars from thier organization.Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

A. Rod skips All-Star Home Run Derby

July 3, 2008 in baseball

Alex Rodriguez says that he will not participate in the home run derby this year, saying that he wants to protect his finely tuned swing.

Rodriguez said that the derby has “always had” adverse affects on a batters mechanics.

People need to lay of A. Rod. He knows his body better than anyone. The derby is a show that can have adverse affects. Just look at Bobby Abreu, who slumped the whole 2nd half of the season after he won the derby. Now people are bugging A. Rod about him and Madonna. LEAVE THE GUY ALONE! Let him life his life and play the game.

Delgado Sets Mets Record!

June 28, 2008 in baseball


Carlos Delgado sets a mets record by driving in 9 RBI’s in a bronx series versus the yanks. 

 

Delgado had a two-run double off Edwar Ramirez in the 5th, a grand slam in the 6th and another home run off LaTroy Hawkins in the 8th. Yes, if you do the math correctly, that is 9 RBI’s in a 4 inning span. 

 

The Mets beat the Yankees 15-6. 

 

“I got lucky,” said Delgado, who turned 36 on Wednesday. “Every time I came up it seems like they had a lot of guys on base so I got some good pitches to hit and I was able to drive them.”

Curt Schilling to Retire?

June 21, 2008 in baseball, Boston Red Socks, Curt Shilling


Curt Schilling, the 41-year old right handed pitcher for the bosox, will have a season ending operation Monday after the rehabilitation program preferred by the club did not work. Schilling says in his 38pitches.com blog:

“Coming back from this surgery at 31 would be an enormous challenge, at 41 more so. BUT, it that is an option at least i’ll be able to make that decision with all the cards on the table, and it will end on terms I choose. I won’t come back throwing 85 with so-so crap. If there is not an option to come back and be good, I won’t.”

Will this be the end of Curt Schilling? Let’s hope not. Schilling is a fighter. Every game he pitches, he pitches with heart. Just look at the bloody sock incident. He is also the veteran on a staff with Beckett, Daisuke and Lester.

My hope is that he comes back strong than ever. He truly is what baseball is all about. Good Luck Curt! Hope to see you back soon in the bigs!
