Got to settle my basketball jones:
Trying to understand the Orlando/Houston
trade. I can somewhat get the McGrady/Francis swap, but when you throw in all these other players to make salary cap matches, it doesn't make as much sense. So now Houston's in Orlando and vice versa. Edge Houston, but who wants to take so many of the same team at once?
If Miami trades Butler to Orlando for Gooden and DeClercq as rumored on Pro Sports daily today, they are idiots. Gooden can't play. DeClercq (an ex-Gator from the Lon Kruger days) is ok (and old), but not worth Butler. Butler will be an All Star in two-three years. These guys won't.
Miami should do two things: resign Alston, see if they can somehow can Swift away from Memphis (I can't remember if he's a restricted free agent or not). If not Swift, then Blount. But neither deserves more than the exception. Just keep Alston and get Grant some help.
Summer means no sports on TV. Yo, Dilger! When does football return?

No sports on TV?!
If you get a chance, check the highlights of tonight's Sox/Yanks game. Gary Sheffield tries to screw with Pedro Martinez by calling time and stepping out once Pedro starts into his windup. Sheff does it twice, so what does Pedro do? Drills him.
I've seen the clip of this 3 times now, and the look on Pedro's face makes me laugh every time.
And then it hit me: Pedro's like the Jeff Rice of MLB...
