Should be sleeping instead of dreaming about KG...

It should be stated that I am a huge Laker fan. Have been ever since MJ retired. I'm the guy who gets a text message from ESPN every time the lead changes, even in the preseason. However, on the issue of Kobe v. Lakers, I tend to side with Kobe because something about Mitch Kupcheck and Dr. Buss remains just not trustworthy. So when Kobe's trade demands forced the Lakers into attempting to improve, it was a win win situation for me: Either Kobe goes to a better team, or he plays for a better team. In regards to the Kevin Garnett rumors, I believe the Lakers should go to NBA.com, print out their roster, cross out Kobe and Jordan Farmar and tell the Twolves they can have anything left on that list. If they want the whole list, thats cool too, because Farmar, Garnett and Kobe playing 3-5 have a better chance of winning a playoff series than the mediocre (at best) cast Kupcheck magnificently "built" around Kobe.

5 Burning questions for June 26, 2007:
  1. Will Homer's stuff be as electric as it was in Oakland last week? His mistakes in that game (save the run scoring double) were all out of the strike zone. When you don't throw many mistakes and limit your pitch count, thats the kind of stuff no hitters are made of.
  2. Where was the WWE going with the Mr. McMahon has died story line before the untimely meltdown and ultimate deaths of Chris Benoit and his family?
  3. How close are Odell Thurman and Chris Henry to repeating Tank Johnsons fate? I would prefer to see neither of them when I make the annual trip down to Georgetown for training camp.
  4. If the Reds trade David Weathers and Jeff Connine for prospects, which I agree they should, who on this team will get the key outs and key hits? This season is 2 trades, for the better in the long run, away from becoming historically bad.
  5. As much as it pains me to say it, is there any way the Red Sox don't win the World Series if they stay healthy? Becket, Dice-K, and Schilling alone ought to scare the life out of every team in the league. Here's hoping Milwaukee can get that far and gets lucky.

I'm really bitter about the Cubs comeback last night...

The news around here has been especially creepy lately. Sometimes the real world is just too real.

Homer pitches tonight...its going to be a good night. Enjoy your working Tuesday. And just for the hell of it, Hoorah Phi Tau.
