Chachi's Monday Ramblings
- Everybody was making a big deal about two NASCAR girlfriends having an arguement in the pits. Wow, two people yelling at each other. What a big deal! If they would have got in a cat fight this might have been news and I might have started paying attention to NASCAR. They didn't so I don't care. If you're going to be a real sport you have to have some real chick fights. See cheerleaders, Carolina Panthers for examples.
- I'm not too big on Sportscenter's draft room thing they are doing with Kiper, Mortensen, and Jackson. I like the idea of recapping the teams year and needs, but it's just creepy how they actively try and avoid looking at the cameras like they are just 3 guys sitting around talking to each other. It's just plain weird.
- Enrique Rojas wrote an article on ESPN.com (here) about Pedro being one of the best Latin pitchers ever. No shit. My question is why segregate him off amongst the Latin pitchers? Hell, Shark can make a great arguement for Pedro being one of the best pitchers ever regardless of ethnicity. I think Mr. Rojas took the easy way out.
- Prince Fielder stole his first base of his career this week. He is already half way to his father's career 2 stolen bases. Perhaps he just caught the pitcher and catcher off guard. I need to see video of this to be sure the catcher didn't die or something.
- Francisco Liriano has filthy stuff and should be in the starting rotation sooner rather than later. In 8.1 IP he has given up 5 hits, 1 walk and struck out 13 while not surrendering a run. Give the man the ball and let him help the struggling rotation already.
- Albert Pujols is a big, scary man who is absolutely killing the ball and may be the best pure hitter of his generation. Reds fans, you know what I'm talking about.
- To the Yankee haters that were rallying around their 1-4 start, they have since gone 5-2. Yes, I know that only makes the 6-6, but they are definitely playing well and will be around in October.
- Hey the NBA playoffs are about to start!!!! Anybody care? Anyone? No? Me either.

Most of it's about baseball (both Shark and I are huge baseball fans), but we sometimes ramble into other sports, especially American football. Hey, if it makes you feel better, I would be totally loss regarding anything rugby. Thanks for stopping by.
I've found all of ESPN's min-shows - i.e. Baseball Tonight, NFL Live, etc. - now far exceed Sportscenter for information and overall enjoyability.
As far as Yankees pitching, the team ERA is 3.84 right now and 4th in MLB, one spot ahead of Boston's 3.87. OUCH! Try that on for size.
This from the guy who's team is sporting Matt Clement and his 9.00 ERA. Also, not one man makes a team ERA. I don't need to bet on something as frivolous as team ERA. I will, however, bet you on who ends up in 1st in the East. Isn't that what really matters?
Unless you're taking money from a casino. Then they are well worth it.
Yep, that's our friends.
