Mr. Lee and a bag of chips, Matt Barkley the boy scout, Landon Donovan could have been as cool as Mike Phelps

NEWS FLASH >>> The Mariners might be taking offers on Cliff Lee, really soon!
Like a lot of people in March, I was hopeful for a Seattle surge to the postseason in 2010, but nope, the sticks are not living up to their part of the bargain this spring/summer. So Mr. Lee will be changing uniforms again. Sad, I was hoping to watch some Mariners games this season, since they are the local team in these parts.
Maybe Ruben Amaro Jr will be giving a call to Jack Zduriencik this afternoon to see if a switchback is possible.

Really?? Another no-hitter?? So that’s 3 2 perfect games and 2 no-hitters all before July?? WTF?!?! I guess everyone is off the juice, right?? Especially the Rays, gee, no-hit twice … ouch.

Hey Matt Barkley, how do you feel about being the stud QB for the Trojans for the next 2 non-bowl playing seasons?!?
I’m sure he’s kinda cool with it, only because he’s the SoCal version of Tim Tebow. You know, he’s the kinda guy that will find a way to put a positive spin on the situation … like “this will be a great test of character” … or … “at least now I’ll have more time for studies” … or … “playing Oregon is now our bowl game!”.
Ain’t no doubt to me that Mr. Barkley will play his full 4 years at USC so he can get the championship in his senior season … or maybe he’s simply looking forward to playing Colorado and Utah in 2012. PAC-12!!
Speaking of Timmy Tebow … have you seen the BroncoGator? Genius. Too bad the dude is getting the full-wedgie treatment from apparent copyright infringement.

Hey Trail Blazers fans, I feel for ya. KP got the shaft.
Pritchard was not perfect, but he brought in quality players (on & off, the court) to rep the city of Portland. He did it his way and took no prisoners. The Blazers are a fun bunch of guys to watch, trust me, I’m a Sixers guy and I’d get caught up in watching these Rip City fellas hoop it up.
Think for a second what kinda season the Blazers would have had if Hedo did not skip off to Toronto (like a cheesedick ***)?? Miller was a solid pickup for Portland, but Hedo was a perfect Robin to Roy’s Batman. And if only G.O. could have stayed healthy.
Here’s something funny from Larry Miller … “For us going forward, we really need someone with experience in executing trades or signing free agents” … hmmmmm … yeah, you dumb asses had that guy in KP!

It figures! Just when I actually could name over half the starters for the USA World Cup squad, they get ousted by Ghana. WTF?! Damn those ridiculous-first-15-minute-of-the-game-screw-up-goals!
I will tip my cap to those USA guys. There were no dull moments [bbryan shaking his head] in USA games this World Cup.
And 2 more wins and Landon Donovan would have reached super hero status (meaning, he just needed to get USA to the final four). The game against Algeria was classic, but the more exciting game was against Slovenia. Two goals down, USA battles back to tie the Slovs. And then a 3rd game-winning goal was disallowed, blasphemy!
So what to do now? Can’t really cheer for another country, can I? I can cheer against other countries, but there are no North Koreans, no French, no Russians, there’s no fun! I guess I could pull for England, got some blood from that island. Those Japs are a scrappy bunch, maybe I’ll get behind them fish-eaters.
Oh well, I’ll tune in to watch the WC’s version of the final four and championship. Until then, maybe I’ll pop in some LOR or practice my rainbow kick.
Come Again?
