I wasn’t really happy with the last podcast after I listened to it. There was too much stuttering and slurring of my speech. Y’all deserve better than that. I deserve to put better work into the cipher than that.
Podcast #7 isn’t as long but I think it’s twice as strong. Let’s hope thats what she’ll say…
I thought the Dodgers would run away with the NL West once MANNY RAMIREZ returned from his MLB suspension for trying to acquire mantits. Even though they set the pace for the entire league with their first half start, the second half hasn’t been the case for the Blue crew. While the Dodgers still have the best record in the West division they are close to losing that perch for overall record to the Phillies and or possible the Cards.
What has hurt the Dodgers has been their lack of consistent pitching. When you don’t have a rotation with any big name starters you hope that your mid level talent gets warm late in the season. These Dodger pitchers were hot early and that helped L.A. overcome the loss of their superstar leftfielder but now it seems like the gas is running out of the tank. I just hope the acquisition of VICENTE PADILLA can help the Dodgers out.
MANNY hasn’t been totally MANNY either since his return from the suspension. Yeah, it’s unrealistic to expect him to post the same numbers he did last season when he first came to L.A. and yes, he is still an above .300 hitter, the Dodgers need his .400 avg. bat and his clutch RBI production if they hope to honestly contend with Philadelphia and St. Louis for the NL World Series berth. I’m tuned in hardbody to the MLB from this point forward.
I like that RICKEY HENDERSON, who for his career in major League Baseball was adept at hitting the high hard ones [ll] as well as the off speed joints threw everyone a curveball of his own with his humble induction speech on Sunday in Cooperstown.
We all agree that RICKEY deserved the nomination on the first ballot. His career numbers are the testament to someone who dedicated himself to the game of baseball. His records are going to be in place for a long time too since the game isn’t played on the patient racetrack that RICKEY labored.
Instead of watching the Major League Baseball All-Star game which won’t be featuring some of the game’s best players I decided to go to the NikeID website and craft a pair of shoes in honor of one of my favorite baseball heroes. It was only twenty years ago in 1989 that this player was the MVP of the mid-summer night’s classic game for hitting 2 for 4, including a home run, 2 RBI’s and stealing a base for good measure. That was some WILLIE MAYS ish right there.
BO JACKSON has already had several Air Trainers releases named after him and the memorable ad campaign of ‘Bo Knows’ which might have been the height of Nike’s commercial creativity. The Air Trainer III is one of the shoes that adorn my personal sneaker collecting Holy Grail.
I put this pair together for a look at what a futuristic Kansas City Royals uniform might require. Royal blue has to remain on the shoes at least as an accent. Nike’s new cross-trainer design has incorporated the ‘Flywire’ technology on the shoes upper to make the shoes incredibly lightweight. The Free 5.0 outsole is used for the comfort and ergonomic movement of the foot. I like the fact that NikeID also has an option for nubuck material on the shoes upper which gives the cross trainer a classy ‘athletic shoe’ look.
