Back to the Bronx

The Los Angeles Angels of etc. lead for 4 batters the entire series against the Yankees before jumping on AJ Burnett for four runs in the first. It looked like they'd cruise til the 7th when the Yankees scored six off of John Lackey and the joke of an Angels bullpen, only to see the Angels rally back to win 7-6 to leave the series at 3-2 Yankees. Thrilling stuff. Well, other than the final result for some like yours truly. Game 6 goes tomorrow back in New York. The Yankees biggest mistakes have been authored by Joe Girardi who is overcooking things - yanking A-Rod for a pinch runner in the 9th? - and not putting Eric Hinske on the roster has left them with .118 hitting Nick Swisher.

Would-be St. Louis Rams owner, and current Colorado Avs and Denver Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke has quietly moved himself into a position where he's about to become the largest shareholder of the Arsenal Gunners of the English Premier League. Amazing how many big money Americans are chasing top tier English clubs.

WWE U.S. Champion "The Miz", born and raised in Cleveland, wants to hit Browns coach Eric Mangini so hard he soils himself. I know what you're thinking: "wait, there's a champion out of Cleveland?"

Have to say, I'm shocked that Toronto FC isn't sticking it to season ticket holders when it comes to playoff prices which came out yesterday and are quite reasonable, barely above regular season costs. Of course, it would shock nobody if they changed the prices should they actually qualify. I kid.

The Indianapolis Colts are about to get better coming off the bye week. Big hitter and run stuffer Bob Sanders is about to return for the first time this year and bolster their run defense. Somehow, the Colts have flown under the radar this year and are being taken for granted.

RM regular TS says that when Yankee Hideki Matsui comes to the plate, he switches from High Def to standard def. That's funny stuff right there.

One final Yankee bit, the last eight times they've won a World Series, the U.S. President has been a Democrat. So, they've got that in their favor too.

Have a great Friday!
