So yeah…Cliff Lee had like 206 pitches working and thoroughly dominated the Bronx Bombers 6-1. I was talking to my sister and bro-in-law last week and told them both I was worried about Chase Utley more than anyone. The way he was rakin’ I thought for sure he was going to go Reggie Jax in the first World Series game in the new stadium. Nevertheless, both Phillies’ rock the charts performances will be remembered for a very long time. Yankees fans chill. You have to remember Derek Jeter is an immortal Yankee and his NY state of mind willed him on base three out of four times. Alex Rodriquez struck out on three great pitches. Cliff Lee deserves the credit here. CC pitched good but not great and made very few mistakes. Just goes to show you the diamond pill Lee was tossing.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Most people say that the two things that will stop the Lakers are Lamar Odom’s wedding and Ron Artest running into the stands. If those are the only two things you have to worry about with winning a championship as a coach, you want that every single year. Basketball-wise, they don’t have any holes.

Anyone who knows me personally knows I’m a huge University of Michigan fan but before that the Georgetown Hoyas ruled my scene. In 1982 when Michael Jordan hit the game winner against the Hoyas to win the National Final, the world outside of basketball was livened to the electricity of his superstar rock shock ya ability. We all know what happened in the draft but when did you notice how bad he was with the NBA pill? I noticed when I picked up the newspaper and saw the sickdiculous scoring binges. 37 one game and 45 the next. Crazy cock back bangers over the baddest centers and forwards of the time or just helpless guards daring to aspire to his once in a lifetime competitive fire. Trust they took a seat in his poster. What? Is this cat a rookie? Wow. Basketball fans around the world were witnessing the blossoming of one the greatest athletes to ever grace the planet. I met Sean McKinney, President of Mitchell and Ness, when he and Michael Bivins watched the last game in the Spectrum with their eyes as wide as mine. He dropped me an email about the exclusive release of Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls rookie jersey this weekend to pub the event. Click the pic above to read our conversation on SLAM.
I’ve done this for the last couple of seasons. My quotes are last. LeBron, as usual, was a major topic of conversation and Lakers/Celtics as well.

The free agent signing of safety Brian Dawkins breathed life into a Denver Broncos franchise many of us predicted would fall apart with the sudden trade of disgruntled quarterback Jay Cutler. All Weapon X has done is lead just as he did in Philly - while all the Broncos as a whole have done is win.
