Wednesday, July 30th - Go West, Teixera

Former NBA ref Tim Donaghy earned himself 15 months in the butt farm. Frankly, I figured it would've been more...sounds like Mark Teixera will be on the move for the second July in a row, with the offensively inept Arizona Diamondbacks the likely destination...more trade rumours on this, the second last day ahead of the no-waiver trade deadline: the New York Mets are interested in ManRam. Of course they are. GM Omar Minaya has yet to see a player of Hispanic background that he hasn't loved. Wonder how Mets closer Billy Wagner feels about adding another guy that won't stand up to the media when they lose?...Blue Jays GM JP Ricciardi says "the last two months are the toughest two months for the teams that are up front." Question: how would he know?...I'm not sure there is a more entertaining guy on TV - Michael Scott of The Office aside - than Santino Mirella on Monday Night Raw...the last two nights of Sidney Ponson and Darrell Rasner should all but guarantee the Yankees finally deal for Seattle Mariner Jarrod Washburn, or someone else. I hope...while most MLB teams treat batting practice like a home run derby, the Minnesota Twins work on situational hitting, calling out situations and adjusting what they do based on that. The result? They're hitting an MLB-best .307 with runners in scoring position, says ESPN The Magazine...Mark Teixera has been dealt to the L.A. Angels of Anaheim. They've finally got another bat in that lineup, something they badly needed...LPGA legend Annika Sorenstam is questioning Michelle Wie's playing in a PGA event. What's the problem Annika, you don't love a trainwreck?...have a great Wednesday.

godfrey was on off the record yesterday, saying no way in hell get rid of AJ cuz the jays are a contender.

gotta love teams which play 100 games, are around .500 -- like last year, the year before etc. etc. -- and like to try to sell people on the idea that they're are a contender.
even if they are, they aren't . . .

...and to think, all that santino colour comes from the wonderfully creative, artistic and witty town of mississauga.

talk about beating the odds . . .

Maybe it is just living in the Toronto market and being overexposed to them, but I'm not sure who I hate more - Dick Peddie or Paul Godfrey. Just come off as smug bastards when deep down, you know they don't know shit from good chocolate.

Santino always struck me as more the Woodbridge type.

something is wrong with a sport where eight teams out of 30 make the playoffs, yet you can be .500 100-plus games into the season and still be considered a playoff contender.
