Occasionally Coherent Ramlbings #14

Ricky Williams is back and it looks like he took his vacation to heart. He has an unkept beard and hair and looks like he just was rescued from a tropical island. I think the boat is called the SS.Signingbonus or the SS.Thankgoodnessthedolphinsarestillsuckers

Watching the Cubs beat the St Louis Cardinals in 2 of three games, I realized, as a Cubs fan how much Tony Larussa outmanaged Dusty Baker, and the long ball, unexpected heroes and solid pitching made Dusty look good.

Shocking news from Chicago, and tell me if this sounds at all familiar, Kerry Wood may go back on the Disabled List. I know, I know. Absurd you say. But it is true. It may very well happen...again.

Endorsement News:
Andre Agassi is leaving Nike and switching to Addidas. Great move addidas. Nothing like endorsing a player near the end of his career. Thats like endorsing Jack Nicklaus or Wilt Chamberlain, or an NHL hockey player.

Everyone, stand up with me and applaude. Lance Armstrong winning his 7th and last Tour De French-speaking place. He is going to finish on top, and be able to spend more time with his kids and with, now that he will no longer be as much in the spotlight, within 6 months, his ex-girlfriend, Sheryl Crow. But congratulations, Lance, you are worthy of everything you have received. I get on my bike on flat terrain and after two blocks I am winded. Lance rode up like a 130% incline for mile upon mile.

Anyone else bored with Larry Brown and him loving the spotlight.

First NFL teams reported to camp, summer and football? And not in Europe. Is this heaven? No, its Iowa....sorry, bad Field of Dreams reference.

Anyone else realize that there is a division in baseball not name the AL East? Anyone else realize that when the Red Sox complain about the Yankees, that it is like the rich kid complaining about the mega-rich kid's new car? Now a Devil Rays or a Kansas City Royals or a Chicago White Sox fan has room to complain.

More to come soon.
