Read on ESPN's site that Sammy Sosa says he'll retire after next spring's World Baseball Classic. Reminds me of the old Rodney Dangerfield joke about his first shot at the entertainment business. He was doing so well, when he quit, he was the only one who knew he quit. I think SS was the ultimate case of owners distancing themselves from the Steroid Patrol. At least Sammy put up respectable numbers with Texas last year bopping 21 big flies and driving home 92 in just over 400 at bats. Barry(Bay Area Baloonhead) and Clemens were too toxic and facing legal issues.
I take full responsibility for a boring first two games of the NHL Finals. I built it up way too much like a blind date. I never should have told everyone the looks matched the great personality. The Red Wing defense is ruining it for everyone. They won't let the Penguins mount the slightest attack. As mentioned on SportsTalk, the annual Selke Award goes to the league's best defensive forwards/centers. Of the 3 Finalists, 2(Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk) play for Detroit. The best way to describe them is as offensive players who excel on defense. They've lead an amazing display of forechecking so Pittsburgh can barely get the puck out of their own zone. Wing goalie Chris Osgood is facing almost no tough scoring chances as the defense in front of him provides great sight lines and a good look at the puck. Hopefully the young Pens can solve this mystery, win tonight & make a series out of this yet.
