Sports rantings

Just 3 quick sports ramblings today children:

• You would think that the NBA would hire better writers. The season finale of the NBA aired last night and the best that the writers could come up with is a 40 point blowout. Lame. The good news is that because the NBA season is so long, it starts back up in like 3 weeks. It was an alright season but you could tell they were affected by the writers strike.
• Stephen Colbert had a hilarious bit about Ken Griffey Jr.(It's in the first 30 seconds)

It is sad that a good guy who never cheated on the game, his wife, or his taxes, is overlooked historically by some guy who did cheat on the game, his wife, and his taxes.

• The Brewers are looking "good" again, but it is still scary. I think the final score is overshadowing the fact that they are not that good again. If they had not hit a homerun last night they would not have scored any runs. In fact they never got a runner past 2nd base without a homerun. So a 7-0 blowout really could have been a 0-0 pitchers duel. There is way too much emphasis on the homerun. A guy like Cameron who sucks and is batting about .220 strikes out 3 times a game, but hits a homerun on Sunday and is declared the hero and everyone talks about how glad we should be to have him. I'd rather have a guy who hits .320 with no homeruns than a guy who hits .220 with 10 homeruns, and averaging 1.5 strikeouts per game. Outside of Braun, Fielder, and Hart everyone is batting under .240 and a few under .210. Still sad. Plus we have no bullpen. I'm still a fan but they still have way too many gapping holes.
