This week in sports (so far)

Okay, so Phil Hughes gets in trouble, big deal - he has to learn to deal with it. You want to say 91 pitches was too many to go on, that is the only arguement there is. But the pattern is too much. Maybe we should just carry relievers, so Torre can change pitchers every inning. He is already trying to turn Andy Petite into a reliever.

Joe, this is for you...The season needs to be a 1/4 over to see where the team stands, but you can't panic.

Schilling is great. We all know that. The only two people who know what Mirabelli said are him and Thorne. I trust Thorne. No reason to lie. Mirabelli was one of the self proclaimed "IDIOTS", so it wouldn't be a shocker for him to say something like that. And Schilling is willing to put up his own money to prove it was his blood on teh sock. He was in a wheelchair for awhile after the surgery to fix his tendons. So Schilling great. Mirabelli idiot. Thorne backed off. Story - no.

As far as the football draft goes - no one has a higher upside on the QB position than JaMarcus Russell, but Notre Dame didn't have the talent of USC or even LSU and Brady Quinn can run an NFL offense. Either way you can't go wrong, well until a couple of years down the road where we see how bad you chose. No matter what though - neither guy should be Browning Nagle.

What, the basketball playoffs started, until there is a real upset or someone steps up, like Wade did last year you can't get the casual fan. LeBron can go off, but he is still in Cleveland. Once he wins one, people might tune in to see him play but for now, I need an upset. Too bad Denver or Golden State couldn't get that second game.

Welcome

This is Agent Chippy's first sports post but it won't be the last.

The big thing I have to get off my chest right now is "Torre, learn to manage a pitching staff" and to everyone else, relax the season is just starting.

As the draft goes - Go JETS. Tanengini is doing great, they just have to keep it up and the Raiders can't mess this thing up again.
