Not a whole lot going on sports wise this time of year so I have been reading. Even though I am not a Yankees fan by any stretch of the imagination, I recommend a book called Dimaggio Setting The Record Straight. It is a good read, also you should check out Artie Lange’s too fat to fish. If you are a fan of course.
Congrats to Lucas Glover for winning the U.S. Open. I am a huge Phil Mickelson fan and he has never won an open but seeing Lucas Glover win one was good for our area and Clemson golf, which I am a fan of. There are a lot of great golfers in our state and he kind of put them on the map with that win. The guy must feel rushed though, but I know what he is going through, get a little bit of recognition and people come out of the woodwork, it’s all good though, wouldn’t have it any other way.
As far as other sports go, baseball is in full swing nearing the all star break so after the second week of July, is where we really want to pay attention to division races and what not. That’s the time of year when the Yankees vs Red Sox and Braves vs Mets actually mean something. For you Braves fans, I would ride him as much as I could until his arm falls off like Hudson’s did and most likely will again.
I’m ready for some Clemson football. If you are reading this Dabo Swinney, any information on a quarterback would be great at this point. My money is on Kyle Parker but we will see. Kudos for that kid on staying in school though, he may get drafted next year, we will need all the help we can get against TCU, but if you ask me, I would much rather play them then Idaho. It strengthens the schedule a bit more.
So the marathon we know as sports is gearing toward its last leg, the anchor leg, football season. Congrats to my Lakers for winning their 15th title and kobe’s 4th, congrats to the Penguins, who have a fast young talented team, and lets snap the damn pigskin allready.
