Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - Brotherly Love

-I'm just going to start out by saying that the "winner of the MLB All-Star game determines home-field advantage" is a joke and anyone who disagrees with that, is an idiot. Whatever happened to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."? Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.
-It appears that the Winter Classic featuring the Detroit Red Wings playing against the Chicago Blackhawks will be played at Wrigley Field.
-Longtime LA Clipper, Elton Brand is reportedly heading to the City of Brotherly Love. Irony can be such a bitch huh, Baron?
-And the poor just keep on getting poorer. Michael Vick has filed for bankruptcy and is said to be owing creditors between $10 and $50 million. Yikes.
-Catalyst of last nights' Orioles-Jays victory? Alex Rios with a base-clearing 3-RBI triple.
-A day after scoring 28 pts, Michael Beasley went 1 for 13 and finishing with just 9 pts, all while collecting 7 fouls. Might want to re-think that old nickname, "B-Easy", 'cause the NBA is no cakewalk (and Summer League is nothing like the actual league).
-The Chicago Cubs have responded to the Brewers' acquisition of C.C Sabathia, with a move of their own - picking up Canadian pitcher Rich Harden in a 6-player blockbuster.
-In his sit down with fill-in host, Bonnie Bernstein - Terry Francona shot down both the Mark Texeira and Barry Bonds to Boston rumours - blaming online forums and blogs for starting these rumours.
-About a week ago, Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers stated that he is almost positive that the organization is moving forward - almost closing the door on the Brett Favre return rumours. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just yesterday, reports surfaced that Favre sent a text message to Ted Thompson. And the football soap opera lives on for another day.
-Chuck Swirsky's successor has been announced, it will be Matt Devlin replacing the Swirsk. Take a listen for a preview of what to expect next season.
-Toss up. Who's the more overrated mainstream comedian of today, Dane Cook or Russell Peters?
-For the nu-metal fans out there, Dragonforce's new album titled Ultra Beatdown, comes out Aug. 25th worldwide.
