A-Rod, 3 Homers, Are You Kidding Me?

What can you really say? Pariah, un-marketable, gonna be 40, done, finshed, kaput, tainted, a cheater....Yanks didn't want him or his salary! Well Alex has 23 homers, 58 rbi's and is batting .277.  Probably their best hitter all year and a big reason the Yanks occupy first place. He's made the most of this chance in every way.
  Well, who woulda thunk? Reaching 700 homers now is very realistic...2 more years to go. Most likely will finish with 700 homers, 2000 rbi's and 3000 hits. And he's only 39.  If he somehow hits 40 homers and knocks in 90, you could(yes I said it) actually hear his name in MVP discussions!
  For now, he's making Yanks' baseball  fun again..

Kudos To USA Woman's Soccer, Wow!!!!

  First of all congrats to the US Woman's team in winning  the FIFA World Cup! Dominating performances, especially against Germany and Japan. In the Germany game the US team so thoroughly dominated the Germans, that it seemed  as one-sided as when the Germans beat the US men last summer.
  So much talent, speed, strength, drive and pride!  Awesome stuff...

Wimbledon Is Here, Wimbledon Is Here!

  Just in the nick of time, Wimbledon started today. Love the grass, great fans ,a chance for Roger to get number 8 and 12 hours plus  of tennis every day, for two weeks. Can Roger do it? Will Serena and Venus meet in the 4th round?
Stay tuned...

ARod, 15 Homers, 42 RBI's And .285....Is He On PED's Now?

   America and yes sports probably more so, is the land of 2nd, 3rd and 4th opportunities! A-Rod on his 3rd chance has certainly made the most of it. At age 39, he is hitting like a 29 year old, saying and doing all the right things, has been a great teammate and has won back over a large segment of the fan base.
   Add to that his 2000th RBI, 3000th hit , his passing Mays on the career home run list and the Yanks being in the "thick of things"....and it's only June.. Gotta say, Yanks are much , more exciting to watch with Alex in the lineup.
  Let's see how the summer progresses..

Golden State; Oh What A Year!

  So it's all over. The Warriors magical year, culminated in  an NBA Championship!. Great team, great mix, good coach and classy top  to bottom. I for one, although I actually rooted for Lebron, thought the series was competitive, enjoyable, tense and intriguing. I can honestly say, with  the exception of falling asleep during OT in game 1, I  watched every game, start to finish.
  So it's over now. Left with baseball and tennis for now. I'm already longing for Ray Donovan!!
 Enjoy the summer.

Serena; Parlez Vous Francais?

Serena does it again. In an emotional victory, she gets her 20th Grand Slam and 3rd  French Open. Only 2 away from Steffi!!
  Who would have thunk that growing up in Compton , Serena would be addressing the Parisian crowd in French during her "victory speech" at the French Open!  Wow... Lot to be proud of.
