Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 - You're My Tuesday

Twice the Green Bay Packers have asked Brett Favre for a list of teams he'd approve a trade to, and twice he gave them nothing. Now, they Packers do know that Favre probably can't write, don't they?...Jessica Simpson wrote a song for boyfriend and Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo called "You're My Sunday". You can't make this stuff up...Jorge Posada has wisely elected to have season ending surgery for his shoulder. The thought of him as the Yankees first baseman going forward had me sweating big time. As a catcher, he's a dynamite stick. As a first baseman, he's below average. That contract could turn out real bad if he doesn't get right. Also, him staying a catcher keeps Mark Teixera in play...the Blue Jays have taken AJ Burnett off the market, and then went out and beat Tampa for only the third time in 10 tries. Great pitching matchup tonight with Roy Halladay and Matt Garza...about 10,000 tickets remain for the Pittsburgh and Buffalo NFL pre-season game at the Rogers Centre. This marks one of the few times, outside of Toronto FC, that I'm proud of Toronto sports fans...speaking of Toronto sports fans, the Fan590 has a poll at the bottom of the page here on who has the best fans in Toronto. TFC is crushing the competition, with 75% of the vote. Sorry, Leafs, you only get 18% which, oddly, is about the percentage of games the Leafs will win this year en route to losing the draft lottery...speaking of Toronto FC, not sure what was uglier, them dropping a point with minutes left, or watching a game on a field with the football lines on it like they are at the current home of Real Salt Lake at the University of Utah...it is bad when your batting average from year to year drops nearly 60 points. It is worse when you hit .222 the previous year, as Andruw Jones did. Jones is hitting .166 this year. In late July...how bad are things in the Boston Red Sox clubhouse right now when it comes to ManRam? So bad that one player told ESPN`s Peter Gammons "Say what you want about A-Rod, but he plays every day and he plays his behind off". Gammons also talked of how the players have noted which pitchers ManRam skips facing because he doesn`t feel right: Joba Chamberlain (twice), Felix Hernandez (twice), Edinson Volquez, and Justin Verlander. All power guys that can twist you into knots...every once in a while, it is great to be reminded of how completely out of his mind Mike Tyson was and is. Watch this vid for a collection of Tyson greatness...have a great Tuesday.
