Just to vent whatever comes to mind in the world of sports.....

-David Ortiz continues to wait for doctors approval to play again.  This stretch is hurting his "MVP caliber" season.  I however do not believe that this man should get consideration for the MVP award.  All he can do is swing a bat and hit balls far.  He can't play defense, he can't run, he can't do much......except hit.

-Fellow MVP candidate Derek Jeter is one who really deserves the award.  In addition to hitting over .330 with over 80 RBIs, Jeter plays great defense night in and night out, and provides leadership and a winning attitude to the younger players of the team.

-Back with the Red Sox, they continue to reel with injuries.  In addition to Big Papi, Manny Ramirez, Jonathon Papelbon, Bill Lester and Curt Schilling have all been on the shelf recently.  This could be to blame for the Sox slide to 9 games back in the AL East.

-Mike Piazza is back on track.  The San Diego Padres backstop is leading the majors in home runs by a catcher.  This brings back memories of years when he would do this with regularity, as a member of the Amazins'.

-The Lions cut Charles Rogers the other day.  Rogers always had the tools to be a great receiver in the NFL, but a lack of focus and desire appear to have cost him his job.  Still a good pickup for a team struggling with their receiving game.

-Notre Dame will win the BCS (BigCrapShoot) Championship this year.

-Ted Ginn Jr. (OSU) will be the Heisman winner.

-I would not bet against the San Jose Sharks for the Stanley Cup this year.  With Jonathan Cheechoo and Joe Thornton entering their sophomore season as teammates, we have not yet seen their potential together.  Throw in Patrick Marleau and Vesa Toskala, you have a good team, actually a great team.
