Yankees on a Role, will Igawa slow it down

So the Yankees lose 1 with the Rocket pitching and I even heard people say in his second start - 2 runs is too much. What do people want? In real terms he is at the end of March and will only get stronger. With a couple of miles more, Roger will be at 93 miles per hour. Most pitchers (including stars) top out there and they don't have a splitter like his. Watch him Friday against a weekend Rockies line up.



Joe Torre has weathered another storm and now the Sox lead the Yanks by 8. After an amazing streak we are still 8 out. Good, but imagine if the Red Sox had done better than 5 and 8 in their last 13. We have to get to 5 and then 10 over .500, get the wild card lead, then we can worry about catching Curt and his boys. However, they haven't had a big injury yet, and with Manny, Ortiz, Schilling, Papelbohn, etc. one guy goes down for awhile and they are different. Hopefully this comes down to the final 6 games in September. However, I would take the wild card - see Marlins, Angels, etc. Wild cards can win the World Series.

Lebron's coming out Party

Okay, Lebron is not Michael Jordan. Get over it. He is King James. He will be different. Bigger and Stronger with more of a post up game. Jordan was more of a slasher - his iconic image is a leaping dunk from the foul line. Ask Detroit what Lebron does best and they will tell you he is closer to Magic than Air.

Lebron is only 22 and you can't just compare years in the league but age as well. Give Lebron until he is 26 and then see if he can do what Jordan did at that age. Lets look back and see if he wins multiple titles and then judge his career. It looked like Jeter would win a world series every year when he started, what happens when he wins four in five years and then none for seven.

Everyone wants someone to be the next ???? in every sport, but in the NBA it is even worse. Every few years, we talk about who took over Jordan's spot, but no one can. No one has too. There was no "Next Kareem", "next Wilt", or "next Magic". Deal with it. Appreciate what we have when we have it...just ask why it can't be on during the day on the weekends and then you will wonder where the fans went.
