Make that 0-7 for the New York Yankees against the Boston Red Sox after last night's 6-5 loss. That clearly won't get it done. Up tonight is CC Sabathia against Brad Penny in the series closer and the Yanks will hope their ace can get them off the schneid. Had to laugh at the Sox fans chanting "you did steroids" to A-Rod. Right, because their boys of years prior like Nomar Garciaparra and David Ortiz fell off - or fell apart, in Nomah's case - for no reason. The Sox are 28-1 when leading after six. And Chien-Ming Wang? You're done, even though you're due to start against the Washington Nationals - a team I could pitch against and win - next...just days after signing Kaka with a record transfer of £56million, Real Madrid has dropped £80million on Cristiano Ronaldo, or $145million Canadian, $130 million U.S. For those unawares, that is the price going to the seller - Manchester United - and doesn't include the player's salary. That is freaking insane, and ought to net Man U some serious replacements. So much for Sir Alex Ferguson's comment that he wouldn't sell Real a virus. Wonder what Real is thinking with two guys who need to have the ball lots to be effective playing side by side?...game four of the NBA Finals goes tonight in Orlando, and frankly, I'll be shocked if the LA Lakers don't take the series to 3-1. The Magic had nearly everything go right in game three and still barely won...did a CrossFit workout last night. Holy hell that was intense...Jim Balsillie is publicly declaring on his website Make It Seven he's one step closer to bringing the NHL to Hamilton. Best line I've heard on the subject of that site: "I'm starting a new site: Make It Six, and aiming to get rid of the Leafs." Funny stuff...why holding out isn't really an option for top MLB draft pick Stephen Strasburg: the top pick next year will almost certainly belong again to the Washington Nationals. This, Scott Boras, is called "leverage," or as some might believe: "karma"...have a great Thursday all.
