My morsels for today:
MLB: First of all, I’m tired of reading and hearing the phrase, “Manny being Manny” in just about every Manny Ramirez suspension story. I won’t join the chorus when I say that, to Ramirez’s credit, he’s not protesting his 50-game ban.
MLB: As unbelievable as it sounds, Jose Canseco is gaining more credibility each time a major league player tests positive for a banned substance.
MLB: The Detroit Tigers are giving Dontrelle Willis one more chance. After a Rick Ankiel-like mound meltdown, Willis is back with the Tigers and will start next Wednesday’s game at Minnesota. Willis has been on the disabled list since March 29 with an anxiety disorder.
NBA: Kudos to the league for handing out one-game suspensions to the Los Angeles Lakers’ Derek Fisher and Rafer Alston of the Orlando Magic. They should have been penalized for their cheap shots.
NHL: Respected hockey columnist Mike Brophy wants the NHL to go to 4-on-4 play after the first overtime of playoff games. The reason? Make sure the game doesn’t drag on all day or night. Brophy says U.S. fans don’t want to watch these marathons. With all due respect, no way, Mike! One of the endearing features of the Stanley Cup playoffs is the fact that teams play until there is a winner without changing the format. No 4-on-4, so penalty shot shootout like the regular season. Thankfully, tradition reigns in the playoffs.
See you Friday!
