BLOWN TO TIDBITS
Just a tidbitty multisport link post coming here...
-- There's a Peter Gammons column out today. As both Jeremy and I like to suggest, not a lot of the stuff that Gammons seems to have a scoop on actually end up bearing fruit, but that's not to say there isn't something half-interesting material here. He suggests that "the fact that the Mariners will not even try to re-sign him sends up a flag." Gammons then suggests the Twins as possible trade partners, as well as the White Sox, a team that I used to playfully hate as a child and call the "White Sux" and redraw their logo accordingly. There's also a nice home/road offensive comparison table at the end of the article involving some Colorado and Texas players. It's icky stuff.
-- Scott Rolen has 53 RBIs. It's Memorial Day. The Cardinals have played 50 games. Who knows if he'll keep up the pace (it's pretty torrid), but if he does, he'll end up with a paltry 172 RBI. Not much. It might be pure ignorance on my part right now, but I don't even remember who went to the Phillies in the Rolen trade, and I guess I really don't care in a way. Was Placido Polanco involved?
-- Anyone want Rich Gannon, Larry Allen, Kurt Warner, and Eddie George for cheap? It gets easier as of tomorrow, because teams can cut these players and spread the cap hit over two years. The article notes that the Patriots have cleaned up in this market as of late, getting Antowain Smith and Roman Phifer, who were sort of instrumental in all those Super Bowl wins. By the way, Boston is Cold Pizza's "5th most-tortured sports town."
-- My recap for tonight's game (when it comes) might be a little short, on accord of a big poster project being due on Wednesday at noon. Add to that a subsequent paper on said poster, but that's due the following Monday.
-- Lastly (I notified Jeremy of this last night), guess what is "[o]ne of the most popular shirts the [Portland] Beavers have to offer"? Here it is...
Hope y'all are having a good Memorial Day, and I hope your May was a good month.
