The one and only Plaxico Burress is now holed up at Riker's Island undergoing physical and psychological testing. After shooting himself in a Manhattan club, he will now serve two years on a variety of charges which mostly include carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. This whole ordeal still doesn't make sense...
Plax shoots himself and gets 24 months, Michael Vick gets roughly 20 months for killing a bunch of dogs (I know I make it sound harmless but it's not), and Donte Stallworth kills a woman while driving drunk and gets 24 days. Justice is served to say the least (I need that sarcasm button to work).
The Yanks just clinched a playoff berth last night. Great day to be a Yankee fan. The recession proof club made a huge signings this past winter and they are obviously paying off. CC is in a three horse race for the Cy Young. Mark Teixeira is in a two horse race for the MVP with his teammate. AJ Burnett is doing great as long as Molina is catching him. Nick Swisher has brought a deal to the team as far as the clubhouse is concerned and has played a fantastic right field. It's hard to ask for much more from the new guys as they have already given. The RING is the only thing that seems to be left.
It's a great race for the AL Central. The Tigers are hanging on by the thread to keep the Twins out of the playoffs. I've always been a big fan of Jim Leyland chain smoking in the dugout, hopefully we'll see it come out in the next week if the Twins overtake them. It's great to see the Twins still competing with Morneau out for the year. The media left them out to dry when he went down. Mauer has really stepped up and put them in position to win a lot of games. Either way the division unfolds, they are going down in the first round.
Just spend Sunday evening in Northern Chicago (Deerfield) to check out the Joy of the Game Fall League. Definitely some good players down there. Hopefully we can get an "in" sometime soon and get another good player from the state of Illinois. I'll probably head over to Minnehaha Academy to check out Sean Kruger's Fall League before our football team takes on St. Thomas on Saturday. Our football squad lost another heartbreaker in double OT to Gustavus. Hopefully they can pull one out this week and start winning.
