Okay, you'll have to check out today's segment on SportsTalk about the current most dominating teams on the American sports scene. It will prove once and for all why those booing the Ducks at home are complete and total idiots. For openers, on Writer's Bloc this morning George's first caller(Jeff), said he's a student, was booing then etched his place in yo-yo history by saying he'd boycotted the show. The key is he claimed a refusal to listen over the weekend. Note to genius. Writer's Bloc is not on Saturday & Sunday. It speaks to the clueless nature of certain fans who make conclusions based on nothing related to the facts.
Looks like Greg Oden will be in the Blazer lineup for the 2nd time ever tonight at Miami. This team got a very sweet win at Orlando against a really good Magic team who had won 4 straight home games. Don't expect a massive, immediate impact from the big fella. He will be brought along slowly but eventually I expect a serious contribution, especially with his board work, effort and interior defense.
Was more than a bit surprised that Joe Torre did not win the NL Manager of the year. He ran 4th behind the winner, Lou Pinella of the Cubs, Philly's Charlie Manuel and the Marlins Freddi Gonzalez. After a closer look, this entire quartet did a very strong job guiding their club through a long season. I'll elaborate on the big show today. No brainer for Joe Maddon of the Rays in the AL. Can't believe some imbecile writer spent a first place vote on Ron Gardenhire of the Twins. Great manager, but this year was all about the league's perennial doormat making that quantum leap to contender. That clown should have his vote taken away.

Despite his claim to have boycotted the local sports radio show, that caller named Jeff is likely a closet listener. Both local sports talk radio shows -- the Writer's Block with George Schroeder and, especially, Sports Talk with Steve Tannen (sorry George) -- are highly entertaining and addictive to any local sports fan. Yes, we know Jeff is out there listening.
I tried to call in 3 days running after the recommendation for motorcycle tricks and monster trucks at half time. Don't you know the only entertainment that will keep the fans in the stadium is a janet jackson costume "blip" At least the guys... and who knows maybe some of the girls as well!
