Carlos Lee = LOSER

These words, or word rather may sound harsh to some of
you, but I'm sure that many of you are right there with
me in this sentiment. How does a guy who's never won a
damn thing exorcize his no trade clause, and turn down
the chance to get traded to a contender in order to stay
with a team that is currently sixteen games under .500,
expected to be even worse than that, and 12 games out of
first before the midway mark of the season? Where is
the pride? Is it all about collecting your paycheck and
nothing else at this point? I would be hard pressed to
believe anything else.

I keep reading about how he's still thinking about it,
but the fact remains that he hasn't jumped at the chance
to go to a winner, and he is making an excellent case for
the total and complete elimination of no trade clauses in
contracts all together. They sound like a great idea at
the time, but why the F@#K do I need to guarantee you that
I'm gonna keep you around for the next 8 or so years if
I'm paying your A$$ in excess of $10Mil per year? What?
Am I married to you? Did we have children together?
Total F#@KING NONSENSE. Carlos Lee isn't the first, but
right about now he is approaching "Straw that broke the
camels back" status. What a complacent spoiled brat!

Just Sayin'

C'mon Yahoo Sports! The Diamondbacks have
a Six game lead in the NL West and have a
magic number of 20 posted, but the Tigers
in the AL Central have a 5 1/2 lead and
have NO magic number posted??? Was the
math to hard for the guys in sports?

Is it me or did anyone else notice that
Jered Weaver took a boat load less money
and didn't wait to become a free agent
before signing his latest contract?
Incidentally his agent in Scott Boras,
and he didn't take Boras' advice.
Sound familiar? A-Rod 2007 maybe?
BUT my favorite thing about this deal
was Weaver's quote: "If $85 (million)
is not enough to take care of my family
and other generations of families then
I'm pretty stupid, but how much money
do you really need in life?"
If someone has Latrell Sprewell's
address, please forward.

In very sad news, former NHLer Wade
Belak was found dead in Toronto this
past Wednesday, even sadder is the
fact that he is the third former/current
NHL player to be found dead since the
season ended. People die everyday, but
trends like this are kind of noticeable.

College Football starts tonight! Yes, it
truly is September.
