Take that, Natinals

The Solidarity Fund of the Quebec Federation of Labour is in on the Molson's purchase of the Montreal Canadiens. This bodes well for non-Habs fans. After all, unions have so far demonstrated that profit comes first and last...and how is it that the NHL figures the Habs can go for $500 million or so with a first rate arena but they may get about the same for the Phoenix Coyotes moving to Hamilton? That's like selling a Chevy Cavalier for the same as a BMW 740...which job is more deserving of danger pay: soldier in Iraq, or Toronto Blue Jays pitcher?...are you shocked Mike Weir is fading down the stretch at the U.S. Open, which will conclude today? Me neither...how appropriate that on the first full day of summer that Wimbledon gets under way? With each Roger Federer win over the next two weeks, expect the hype to get bigger as he gets closer to the all-time Grand Slam wins record of 15. Hoping he does it...doctor's orders said that A-Rod should be rested 5-8 games in the first 45 games. For some reason, the New York Yankees waited 38 days before giving a burnt A-Rod his first day off after returning from his hip surgery. Not wise with a guy signed for the next decade or so. Part of his fatigue may be some late night partying with girlfriend Kate Hudson...Carlos Tevez looks like he'll be leaving Manchester United and going to either Chelsea or Manchester City...at the Confederations Cup, the U.S. laid a 3-0 beatdown on Egypt to advance to the semi-finals at the expense of Italy, who were busy getting pounded 3-0 to Brazil. Tough times for Italy. The U.S. will face Spain in the semi-finals on Wednesday and get humiliated, while Brazil will fist hosts South Africa in the other semi-final on Thursday. Bankers, those...remember the 3,400 Club? C.C. Sabathia left yesterday's game with what is being called "bicep tendinitis". While he says he'll be good to go Saturday for his next start, you have to wonder with all the miles on those tires the last two years...have a great Monday.
