A week in review. With pictures!

Here comes the first change to the site. It's going to be an impressive one, and one that's been coming for a long time. Pictures! I'll start putting pictures in my posts! Let's see.... What can we start with? Aha.... This will work.

One of those is Randy Johnson. Yikes.

ITEM ONE: Can anyone explain to me exactly why managers have been flipping out lately? It's wildly entertaining, to a degree, but shouldn't there be a modicum of self respect? Of course, a manager marine crawling in Mississippi is probably better for his team than having a star pitcher throw punches at the starting catcher, as happened with the Cubs. Carlos Zambrano is a scary dude. I bet the Cubs would trade anything to have a healthy Kerry Wood and not Zambrano.

ITEM TWO: Just another appeal to Mediacom. GIVE US VERSUS! 3 Games into the cup finals, and I'm yet to watch a game, thanks to a Mediocrecom. Of course, nobody is really watching the finals. Maybe things would change if the NHL was played on a channel that was under 600 on DirectTV.

ITEM THREE: Everyone is rejoicing at the recent problems the Yankees are having. Roger Clemens and his fatigued groin (must. resist. joke.) Giambi testing positive for amphetamines, being 13 games out of first. This is all well and good, but do you know what this means for next year? Well, any free agent you might want to keep around for a while will probably end up in pin stripes. The Yankees don't rebuild. It has never been their way. If there is a talented player on a less moneyed team, the Yanks will pony up the money this off season. It's things like this that scare the bejeezus out of me. I kind of wish they were within striking distance of the Red Sox. I can't imagine Ichiro in a New York uniform.

ITEM FOUR: The Washington Post's DC Sports Blog had an interview with Stuart Scott that really portrayed him in a flattering, family man light. That's all well and good, because I'm sure he's a different man off camera and away from his "Two-Way" than he is in the public eye. I'm sure he doesn't bring his ridiculous opinions home with him. But if he does, that's probably why he would let his 6th grade daughter pack heat wherever she goes.*

ITEM FIVE: Oh, the NBA Finals? Still. Don't. Care. But hey, Cleveland did something right!
