The Healthy Scratch

So its the 4th of July, here’s some random thoughts popping through my sweet little melon:

• I’ll be honest, I’m sick of the World Cup, its been on too damn long.  But since I’ve made picks up until now, here’s your picks for the semis: France and Germany.  Dun dun dun!
• You best believe MLB is going to rig the ‘last chance’ vote in the AL.  Francisco Liriano is the kid who everyone wants to see.  Some of those other guys are having nice years, but Liriano is the draw right now.
• The Tour de France should just be cancelled this year.  All the top riders are suspended, its like having March Madness without any teams from the ACC.
• Steve Yzerman retired today.  The guy was a great leader and an even better player.  The NHL lost one of its best today.
• Ben Wallace signed in Chicago today.  Prepare for every publication to name the Bulls the Eastern Conference favourite next year.
• There are no Americans left at Wimbledon.  Why is this a story?  None of the men had a chance, and all the women are either old or injured.  Besides Agassi, the current American tennis scene is boring and not worth reporting on.
• Is there anything stupider than deciding World Cup games on penalty kicks.  I know the games would probably end up last 5 hours, but honestly play until someone scores.  Or else go with paper, rock, scissors, has about as much to do with soccer as the penalty kicks do.  PS I could freaking do a better job than those England guys at this.
• That Women’s US Open golf playoff sure was a nailbiter.  Lets see, will it be the best women’s golfer in the world or some chubby girl I’ve never heard of.  Tough to call.
• Chris Pronger was dealt from Edmonton.  Lets just say I’m glad he’s gone and don’t blame him for getting out of there.
• Read Frangos’ stuff from the past few days…. its a hell of lot better than this nonsense.
• Enjoy the 4th Americans.
