Straight Shots for 6-26

Heading into tonight's game against the San Francisco Giants, the Texas Rangers own a record of 40-36 and 1.5 games back in the American League West. While facing the Rockies three nights ago, the Rangers first three batters were Gary Matthews(.332 BA), Mark DeRosa(.342 BA), and Michael Young(.326 BA and current batting champion). As of now, none of them are serious candidates for the All-Star Game in Pittsburgh. Can anyone say big market bias?
Ozzie Guillen is back in the news, nothing good as usual. Homophobic slurs and multiple expletives directed towards Chicago sports columnist Jay Mariotti typically warrant a tv camera or two. The punishment? Sensitivity training. In the words of Blazing Saddles, "Training? I don't need no stinking training!"


1. Regarding the Miami Heat basketball fans: It's pretty sad if you think making 1 out of 2 free throws is an accomplishment (Congrats Shaq!)
2. Manu Ginobili must have had acting lessons provided to him by his fellow countrymen soccer players before the NBA playoffs.
3. I hope Bud Selig doesn't come to college campuses and suspend me for taking academic steroids (adderall).

Ya Baby.
