Sunday, August 10th, 2008 - Goodnight, Yankees

Contemplated taking a day off of the RandoMango to mourn the first year since 1995 that the Yankees won't be in the playoff mix. At 7.5 out with the clock winding down and a depleted pitching staff, not looking good. That said, I feel better about 2009 than I have any of the last few years...Pardon The Interruption's Mike Wilbon is throwing out the first pitch at his hometown Chicago Cubs game tonight and more interestingly, is singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" in the 7th inning stretch. Here's hoping that makes the broadcast...Sunday Night Baseball...Mancester United brings a depleted squad to face Portsmouth in the Community Shield this morning. Still, like Man U to win this one...they barely pieced together a squad but Toronto FC rode a beautiful goal from Chad Barrett to a 1-0 win over Colorado in MLS action. TFC showed some signs of life in this one despite playing in nearly 40 degree celsius heat at altitude. A huge win, to be sure. Carl Robinson played in the backline in this one - he's such a huge part of this team that it's a shame his offensive shortcomings get too much run among fans. Prototypical glue guy. Coach John Carver said it is the proudest he's ever been of a team in his career...ManRam is looking to play for the Yankees next year so he can punish the Red Sox. As much as Manny is a hitting freak and when motivated, as dangerous as they get, I'd rather not see the Yankees go that route even though he's a local boy. Word is Florida was looking to grab Manny at the deadline and swing him to the Yanks. Now that would've been some news...naked man, motor oil, and a claw hammer. What more do you need to hear to read this story?...at UFC 87, Brock Lesnar looked fantastic in mangling Heath Herring in their heavyweight fight. Not bad for the second time out for the Next Big Thing. Roger Huerta lost a decision to Kenny Florian. After bad mouthing UFC this week, was there any doubt he'd lose a decision? And in the main event, Georges St. Pierre dominated Jon Fitch to win a unanimous decision in his first title defence. Next up for GSP? BJ Penn...the U.S. hoops squad tips off at 10:15 Eastern this morning. They're mere 32.5 point favs over Yao Ming and China...did I hear right? The Chinese women's soccer team had a player named Yu Suk?...have a great Sunday.

GBVH I feel your pain. Thankfully..took the +20.5 after the first quarter LOL. Got 400 on USA winning Gold. They better pull through

Funny Mk, after Angels tied it up at 3-3...I said so long season.

Man U wins the Community shield in pks....they looked good but so did England/Portsmouth keeper James.
