In this week’s Run Down:
Baseball
Bonds Bombs in Entire Dodgers Series, Losing Streak Continues Onward– Barry Bonds, just five home runs away from beating the home run record of Henry “Hank” Aaron (a true ball player who didn’t have to use steroids to hit 756 home runs – but don’t get me started on how unfair I think this is), is in a slump. Fellow Giants short-stop, Omar Vizquel, said the slugger just hasn’t been the same since he had an All Star Game party, playing host until the wee hours of the morning, a week and a half ago.
I have never been a big fan of bicycling. Sure, it’s a great way to get exercise, but perhaps because I never had the opportunity to ride a bike minus one with training wheels (I have a muscle disease and am now in a wheelchair) I just never got the “cycling excitement”. Every time the Tour de France is held, I listen to the chattering going on around me (it is hard not to with so many Americans being accused of using illegal drugs each year), but I don’t really get the whole “Tour fascination”.
In what has become quite a bizarre turn of events, in less than a week the New York Yankess have not only gotten dissed (by former NY Yankees slugger Gary “Chef” Sheffield, they did a little dissing of their own, to one of their own, Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez. The dissing all started when Gary Sheffield made an appearance on HBO’s Real Sports and it exploded from there.
Chris Chambers, who has spent six years as a top receiver for the Miami Dolphins was arrested early Saturday morning on suspicion of DWI, reckless driving, and speeding. Chambers’ attorney faced the judge in a Charlotte, North Carolina, Mecklenburg County courtroom on Monday, July 16, though Chambers himself did not attend. The case was delayed a month and will resume on August 15.
