I'm still covered in poison ivy and so I don't feel like writing a ton, so you're just getting a couple quickies today to keep the "Drive For 500" alive.
-You know, all the love that Pedro Martinez got on Opening Night is going to make it really awkward when he signs with a team like the Angels in mid-July, comes back for a big game and gets booed. You know he doesn't think of himself as retired, so he'll wait and see which teams are contenders before signing in the middle of the season, just like last year. I like this new mercenary phenomenon that has come around with aging pitchers in the last couple of years. I think baseball players should just all sign one-year deals - it would make July a lot more interesting.
-I was really surprised that Donovan McNabb was traded in the division, but I guess that speaks to the level of confidence that the Eagles have in not only Kevin Kolb, but also their defense playing him twice a year. The Patriots did this with Drew Bledsoe and after the first game it never bothered them again. But, on the other side of the coin, the Packers fought tooth and nail to keep Favre out of the division and now we know why.
-Hey, Basketball Writers of America, great job on putting Dennis Johnson in the Hall of Fame. Sure, you're only about 8 years too late, but I'm sure you thought putting coaches no one had heard of before into the Hall of Fame was a more pressing matter.
