Catch of the Day.

HOOK:

“Cubs.”

What more is there to say than the people who get paid to write sports stuff have already said?  First time in since 2003 they win a playoff series.  First time at Wrigley celebrating a clinching win in the playoffs.  First ball on top of the scoreboard that will stay there throughout the playoffs.  Great stuff.

On a complaining note of the playoffs, I have another complaint.  I already hated the one game play in game as you know, but the fact that the present division series are 5 game series is ridiculous.  MLB, if the NBA drags its postseason out the maximum amount of time, you can too.  Make the division series 7 games.

I will end my baseball hook with this.  I happened to catch the 7th inning of the Blue Jays-Rangers today, and it might have been the craziest one inning I have personally ever seen in playoff baseball.  I think Jim Caple says it best.

LINE:

“M.J.”

A.P., in regards to some people calling Jamaal Charles the LeBron James of football, said he is M.J.  A.P., I love what you are doing for my fantasy teams this year, but don’t say these things, as the minimum amount of titles to have before comparisons to M.J. is about 2 or 3.  I know football is more complicated and has more moving parts, but it sounds when you say that you are all about the stats.  Get one first, please.

SINKER:

“Odom.”

We are all hoping Lamar can pull through this new mess he has himself in…his life.  Thoughts and prayers, man.  Nothing to say except that I hope you are alright.

(They had to drive him 60 miles to the hospital because the helicopter couldn’t fit someone of his height.  Make those helicopters a couple inches longer, guys.)

That’s it for today.  Peace.
