Things I think — early June
Posted June 8th, 2007 by Ron
The baseball draft on TV was conducted very poorly. Instead of following the lead of the NHL or NFL, baseball had few if any of the players at the draft. Without the photos of the players holding the jerseys with the GM, what do you have? Nothing.
The Dale Earnhardt Jr. Sweepstakes will be heating up the next two weeks. I still like Ginn Racing in a surprise. … By the way, Visa denies that it is entering NASCAR, but that probably would be the only way for Junior to end up with Joe Gibbs Racing.
The Cavs need to be active in the offseason to get some more weapons for LeBron James and Mike Brown.
C.C. Sabathia is starting to look more and more like a Cy Young winner and like a very rich man. The Indians need to ride his arm this season to playoff success.
Is anyone watching the French Open?
Or the Belmont Stakes?
We already know few watched the Stanley Cup Finals.
I think I like Danica Patrick's chances in a fight with Dan Wheldon.
Has anyone seen Barry Bonds, I think he is missing.
Speaking of Bonds, it is time for Hank Aaron to stop commenting on the home run chase. He said last week that he wasn't sure how to spell Bonds' name. Now Hank, don't be stupid. Stay above this fray of steroids talk.
The U.S. Open is looking like it might have a winner near double figures over par, if the players are telling the truth after practice rounds at Oakmont C.C. in Pittsburgh. Watching Tiger Woods and the rest of his golfing mates struggle should make great TV.

NBA trade restrictions make it almost impossible for Ferry to unload the dead weight he has acquired. Hughes, Marshall, Jones…not a shooter among them. Inaccurate gunners, yes…shooters, no.
How about that Gary Sheffield statement? He "knows lots of" black friends good enought to be MLB players who are just sitting home because they "don't want anyone controlling them?" Note to Gary: You have lots of lazy friends who'd rather collect welfare than be a millionaire? Have you ever heard of a "boss," you moron? Sheffield and his ilk set back the whole race-relations / respect issue to its roots. Time to live in the 21st Century, idiot. Why do teams keep employing this ***hole?
