sports rambling

yankees in boston in the bottom of the 11th inning with big papi up, and cano shuts a slammer down... two outs... will kelly become the new mario?... wait, kelly is gone, warren is in... and will boston keep their hold on first place as the rays continue their winning ways?... and will the yankees surge as the stars return?... and will jeter ever be jeter again?... deep fly ball to right, but caught just short of the warning track... seriously, warren, two hard hit balls for your first two batters... and now, full count, two outs, foul ball... napoli tries to end it with one swing... and he does... his second home run of the game and it is over... boston continues their winning ways... the fans go wild... the yankees lose a heartbreaker... and can i fall asleep now?...

meanwhile, romo has eight seasons and one playoff win and he's still touted as a star?... Mark Sanchez has won more playoff games (4)... tim tebow has won one playoff game... forty two other quarterbacks have won one playoff game... thirty other quarterbacks have won two playoff games... twenty two quarterbacks won three playoff games... nine have won four... twelve have won five... five have won six... one has won seven... four have won eight... six have won nine... nine quarterbacks have won ten or more playoff games... think about it... ninety eight (98) quarterbacks have won more playoff games than tony romo... tony romo has won one playoff game in his career... really?... yes really... why is he not laughed at as much as sanchez... or as Elvis Grbac, for that matter... they have won the same number of playoff games... elvis and tony... romo and grbac... household names... not as many playoff wins as sanchez...

and then there is the drugs in baseball... i've got to wonder if there is hypocrisy involved simply because drugs are everywhere in everything... our current culture is drug dependent... and it is generally pretty arbitrary which drugs are banned and which drugs are not banned... there are plenty of drugs that enhance performance that are legal, caffeine just being one... and pain killers and anti-inflammatories and so on...

sports off distractions sometimes welcome, sometimes just sadly human...
