Week in Review

While Buono and Dennis pretty much do nothing but be lethargic, I've been running this damn thing. But here's a week in review anyway...

  • The Sox are heating up. After taking 2 of 3 in Philly and 5 of 6 overall (including a near dice-k no-no) the Sox seem poised to make a run at this thing. The Rays are miles ahead (8.5 games), but attention New York- that image in the rear-view mirror is closer than it appears.
  • One of the most surprising stars for the Sox this yr is Clay Buchholz. A guy who I wrote off as no better than a career number three may be making me look foolish. Although I would still gladly part with him in a package to get Adrian Gonzalez, the ugly kid has been dazzling on the hill.
  • On a sad note, Jose Lima passed away over the weekend. I speak for the rest of baseball fans when I say rest in peace Jose, it will always be Lima Time.
  • In the most shocking news of the week since Mark McGwire announced he used steroids Mike Brown was fired from his job with the Cavs. He will now be a free agent himself, but we're going to go out on a limb and say he won't be quite as sought after as LeBron.
  • On the topic of PEDs in other shocking news the little weasel Floyd Landis after telling about five different stories on him not using illegal substances admitted...that yeah...he did use. He also says Lance Armstrong did as well, and he's probably right but he's about as credible as Nick Saban.
  • It appears a Celtics-Lakers final is imminent. This should be a pretty awesome finals, maybe the best we've seen in more than a decade. The way too early prediction (considering neither of them have moved on yet) is Lakers in 7.
  • In this blog we will make as much effort as possible not to mention this man. I won't even say his name. But he's now saying that he will come back to play in the NFL if his alma mater Southern Miss Golden Eagles make it back to the College World Series. He really has no soul.
