Walking on Insanity Vol. 1
This will be my first sports column of many that I’ll write in the coming weeks. I feel like this is my way letting the public know how I feel. I won’t tell you how to feel, I’ll just say how I want you to. Enjoy my column, Walking on Insanity, it’s called that for a reason.
Pedro, Pedro, Pedro. It seems now that every year Pedro Martinez to manages to get a weird quote about the Yankees. Now being a Sox fan, I think Pedro is one of the greatest pitchers in the majors today. I just don’t think he’s all there all the time. I mean last year we had, “Who is Karim Garcia?” and this year it’s, “The Yankees are my daddies.” I think that Pedro has to realize two things: A) He shouldn’t always speak his mind, and B) that he is a six to seven inning pitcher.
While we’re on the subject of people who should keep there opinions to themselves, ESPN recently premiered there movie Hustle. This chronologies the Pete Rose scandal of the 1980s, and if you don’t know what this is, come out from underneath the rock. I personally thought that this was a fantastic movie and that it was beautifully done. Wow. I never thought that I would use the words Pete Rose and beautiful in the same sentence.
Ichiro Suzuki is on his way to breaking the single season hits record(257) held that has been held by George Sisler since the 1920 season. This is probably the most under appreciated record in baseball considering that I’ve never heard of this record until Ichiro has come close to it. I mean, he’s had it intact for 84 years. My guess is that after this season, no one will remember this for another 84 years.
How is it that the Cubs always find ways to mess up near or in the playoffs. Last year it was the now infamous Bartman ball, and this year, they might not even make the playoffs. If they keep losing to teams like the Mets down the stretch, there are two very good teams breathing down there necks willing to take advantage of there mishaps.
Now another close race is the AL West. I believe that the Angels have enough power to overtake the A’s an distance themselves enough to win there division. I’m also praying if they do make the playoffs, then the Yankees will have to play them. Check the season stats from there games to find out why.
How is it that the Jaguars are currently 3-0 and the Cheifs are 0-3. I don’t know which one is stranger, because both had opposite seasons than they have now. I mean Jacksonville always have there dismal seasons, but the Cheifs had that terrific season last year. I mean they started 9-0 last year. How do you go from that to 0-3?
The Patriots are looking to make it to the Super Bowl again this year, unless something very bizarre happens. Maybe this year it’ll actually be the Pats and Eagles Super Bowl that Chris Berman has predicted for the second straight season. This might happen, unless Terrel Owens and Donovan McNabb get into a fight and TO demands to be traded to the also undefeated Atlanta Vick’s.
Rich Gannon has a broken vertebrae and is said to only be out for six weeks. I’m sorry, but I want to know where that doctor got his degree. You can not come back from a broken neck in just six weeks. The minute someone can do that, I will be the first one to goto that person and bow down to them.
Sports Illustrated has reached it’s 50th year of publication. Now fifty years of anything is huge, even more so if it’s a Hollywood marriage. So congrats SI and I hope that you keep on cursing your cover athletes for the next fifty years.
That’s it for this first edition of Walking on Insanity, hope you enjoyed it and until next time, I hope that you keep walking. |
