Well, I’m day 2 into my blogging comeback attempt, and I must admit I’m just not feeling very inspired. Making a comeback is hard work! There are so many things to talk about, but to be quite honest I just don’t feel like diving into much detail on them.

I’ll touch on a couple things very quickly-

Looks like Curt Schilling has decided to apologize to Barry Bonds. I think it’s becoming obvious to everyone that Schilling wants the world to revolve around him. For those that don’t know Schilling basically said all of Barry’s records should be removed from the books since Barry has admitted to doing steroids. First of all, I don’t recall Bonds ever coming out and admitting anything, and I wonder if Curt took the time to think about his World Series rings?? Heaven forbid you have to return a couple of those rings because they are tainted…..I mean, a ring is a team achievement and the law of averages says that someone on the Red Sox or Diamondbacks was juicing…..much less those that have been busted. Curt, shut your hole.

Golden State fell behind 2-0 to Utah last night. As much as I want to blame the loss on poor officiating, (it just seems like Utah/Carlos Boozer in particular do a lot of bulling to the hoop and on defense) I gotta put this one on Baron Davis. I know the guy is a warrior (no pun intended) and played his ass off last night but that turnover in the closing seconds of the 2nd half was horrid. I can give him a pass on the missed free-throw, it happens. It just seemed as if he was teetering on making crucial turnovers the entire game….which is of course what makes him so effective, but still. Job #1 in that situation should be getting the ball past half-court and setting up offense, not trying to one-up Derek Fisher with some whirling spin move.

I still think Golden State can make a series out of this, but I really don’t see them taking it. Utah in 7. I like the Suns in 7 as well, Steve Nash knows his window is closing, he won’t let it slip through his fingers. The East is already settled, Cavs and Pistons will advance.

Hey, did anyone else know that Roger Clemens signed with the Yankees!? Ya know, this is a big deal for the Yanks, but in the long run the return of Jon Lester to the Red Sox (Making a comeback from Cancer) will be a bigger deal. Lester passed all his minor league tests with flying colors and hit 96 mph on the radar guns….100 mph on the stadium gun that obviously needed calibrating. Lester will give the Sox a capable lefty starter that can chew up innings. Clemens will give the Yankees another arm in the starting rotation that can’t get out of the 6th inning, which in all honesty does nothing to help solve their problem: OVERWORKED BULLPEN- Sure the Yankees will probably play .550 to .600 baseball the rest of the way out but come playoff time do they really think they can compete with 3 dinosaurs, 2 less than average Japanese imports, and an average pen? The finger pointing has already begun as the Boss fired the “Director of Performance Enhancement”, (with talk of firing Torre and Cashman as well) but at some point (right in the middle of a 15-11 loss to the Mariners would have been a good time) logic has to take over and Steinbrenner must realize he hasn’t given these guys much to work with pitching wise.

Anyway, my whole point to this post was to take a day off and just post a couple videos-
