Time to bat clean-up

If Alex Rodriguez is at all smart, or has even paid a bit of attention, he'd best come clean now and say that he used in 2003, that he's sorry, and it has never happened since and never will again - even if he never used at the time. The way things went for Roger Clemens in his denial in the face of (some) evidence is nothing he wants any part of. I'll repeat what I said years back: baseball should have declared amnesty to everyone who came forward with the promise of no punishment, with the understanding you'd be treated far more rashly if you were later implicated. The whole "secret" tests of 2003 was a sham, and Bud "$18 million man" Selig should lose his job for presiding over such a mess...shame about that Atlanta Hawks pick when Mike Bibby ends up getting scratched at the last minute, but finally back to .500 on PTP for the year, and off to a strong start for February. Today, playing Manchester United at -0.5 -155, kickoff at 11am as the leaders travel to London to face West Ham, coverage on The Score (in HD!) at 11am...Chelsea dropped points at home again yesterday in a scoreless draw with Hull, and look nowhere near the side that was dominating in August through October. Liverpool won 3-2 at Pompey to jump well ahead of Chelsea...the Toronto Raptors scored all of 70 points in their latest loss at not-so-mighty Memphis. That they're not blowing away the field in the latest poll question is shocking...can't say I saw the Toronto Maple Leafs performance coming last night, a 5-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs just don't seem right at the moment...if you can figure out why the LA Lakers deal Vladimir Radmanovic to the Charlotte Bobcats for Adam Morrison - other than they fear what he'll do around snow the coming all-star break - I'd love to hear it. I know the Lakers are looking to get bigger, but Morrison?...it took Alexander Ovechkin a mere 296 games to score his 200th goal of his career. That is damn impressive, fifth fastest all-time...for my money, Ste-rod is a far more clever nickname than A-Roid...today's picture comes courtesy of one of Raptorschat's finest posters, well done Scully... Have a great Sunday. Go Man U!

Why for the Lakers on that VladRad trade? Simple - knock off a year of salary remaining on him. He has two years remaining after this year, whereas Morrison only has one.

Plus, Adam Morrison is great comic relief. In the sense, of course, of "laughing at" more than "laughing with".

Vlad wasn't getting along with Phil at all so I'm not suprised. Showing up 10 mins before a game and other things caused him to be in Phil's bad books.

0/3 last night on the betting front. Hoping the Lakers help me recover.

It turns out that the Toronto fanbase and franchise aren't the only things Jermaine O'Neal has "disrespected" this year:

HAHA Karrine Steffans aka Superhead ot the hip hop world. She got more std's than a Church street hooker.

Yep, Superhead. JO managed to disrespect Superhead. Think about how hard that must be for a minute. It must have taken far more effort than he's ever put forth on the basketball court this year.
