Just a few thoughts...
- It's good to know that when things are tough, Hank Steinbrenner will give up and make excuses. Of course, he said he is not giving up on 2008, but when you are looking ahead to next season with over 25% of this season left, what does that say to the fan base? Here's one of the quotes, "We're going to win it next year. If we need to add a top veteran pitcher, we'll do that. We'll do whatever we need to do. Next year we'll be extremely dangerous." Does that mean that I shouldn't watch or go to any more games this year? Will I get a refund from Hank for the remaining games? Maybe he should take a page out of his father's book and try to inspire the team...not make excuses for them.
- Has anyone noticed that Joe Torre's Dodgers are pretty much tied for first place in the NL West? Looks like I might have a rooting interest in October after all. Somehow, I think Joe would have had the Yankees in the hunt this year...or at least playing with some heart. Heck...he got Manny to cut his hair. The guy can do anything.
- Today marked the end of an era. WFAN officially announced that Chris "Mad Dog" Russo will be released from his contract. There will be no last show. Mike and The Mad Dog are officially over. Mad Dog is rumored to be heading to Sirius, while Mike might be looking for a new partner. While I know that they haven't been getting along, after 19 years, they should have had one last hurrah.
- Brett Favre's a Jet, which is great news for the Giants. Nothing like winning the Super Bowl and being under the radar in your own city.
- Good luck to Michael Phelps. Six down...two to go.
That's all for this week. "It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive..."
