World Series Recap, NBA, Flair/Kanyon and more
First off before I start being to critical of the Detroit Tigers, I want to say congrats to them because they had a hell of a year. After 13 losing season, they made it to the World Series. I can’t even comprehend that. I think it was just a lack of experience on their part because St. Louis has been in the playoffs the last 4-5 years and been to their 2nd World Series in 3 years. I tip my hat to Sean Casey though. He played great through this whole series and if the Tigers would have won, he should have been the MVP for sure. Here somethings that Tigers should do in the off season:
-People to trade: Nate Robertson, Fernando Rodney, Craig Monroe, and Chris Shelton. Trade them as a package to get some actual power hitting, and experience pitching.
-Sign a veteren catcher like Mike Piazza, Mike Matheney or Sandy Alomar Jr. to back up Pudge because Pudge didn’t get it done this year and we need another catcher with some experience.(That or give Vance Wilson more opportunities.)
-Sign Sean Casey to a three year deal.
-Give Omar Infante/Alexis Gomez/Brent Cleveland more playing time
Tigers had a hell of a year and I am proud of my home team. I respect Jim Leyland for what he did for the organization and respect the fact that he took the blame for everything that went wrong out there. They’ll be back. Go Tigers. World Series in 2007.
The NBA season starts this week and Eastern Conference looks dominating again. Obviously the biggest shake-up in the offseason was that traitor Ben Wallace leaving the Pistons for the Bulls. I think the Pistons will do great this year. Here is their current Roster for the NBA Season:
1 Chauncey Billups
8 Will Blalock
34 Dale Davis
20 Carlos Delfino
12 Ronald Dupree
32 Richard Hamilton
10 Lindsey Hunter
25 Amir Johnson
54 Jason Maxiell
24 Antonio McDyess
13 Nazr Mohammed
6 Ronald Murray
22 Tayshaun Prince
36 Rasheed Wallace
Not to many changes there except Ben Wallace being gone. Theres a couple of other players who left but they will do fine. I think it will be the Phoenix Suns vs. the New Jersey Nets in the Finals this year. New Jersey is due and has the talent, so does Phoenix. I can’t wait until Wednesday when the Pistons take on the Bucks. It should be a great game.
A couple of days ago former WWE/WCW Wrestling Chris Kanyon was on the Howard Stern show. Kanyon claims that the WWE fired him because he came out of the closet and told people he was gay. That’s when Ric Flair called in says that the WWE fired him because he didn’t have the gimmick. Kanyon says John Cena doesn’t have the skill but he is in there. Kanyon also claimed Vince McMahon doesn’t like gay people and that why he fired him Check out The Ric Flair vs. Kanyon Debate
I totally agree the Kanyon on this one, Kanyon was one of the most innovative wrestlers that there has been. I mean come on, its obvious Vince doesn’t like Gays because he fired Orlando Jordan after Orlando came out of the closet. Whatever I guess. I look to hear more about this in the coming weeks.
Tommorrow the PBA returns on ESPN at 1pm. The final four are:
Jack Jurek def. George Lambert IV
Doug Kent def.Tommy Jones
Kent vs. Jones should be a good match up. I have never even heard of Jurek or Lambert but I am sure they will put on a hell of show because it’s their first TV finals I believe. Look foward to it tommorrow.
Well I am out. Tommorrow afternoon I bowl on my league in Dorr, Michigan. I’ve been doing really well for myself and look foward to keeping my game up. I’ll have a full report back tommorrow on how I do.
Carolina vs. Dallas tommorrow night on NBC. Kill ‘Em Carolina.
