World Series
So much for the Rockies getting beaten by the Red Sox, but I still like the team. The Sox are now the new Evil Empire and everything about the franchise is just admirable. I just can't like them because I'm a Yankee fan.
Speaking of the Yankees, A-Rod finally had some sense got into him by trying to contact the team after he opted out. When his agent announced that he opted out, I was pretty pissed. Sure, he's one of the best players of the game. But he still hasn't proved himself in the big stage. Comparing him to Derek Jeter, A-Rod is a class below the guy. Why I like Jeter - loyal and a class act. But I hope A-Rod learns a lesson or two and returns to the Yankees - the only team who could afford him.
The Yankees also got their new manager in Joe Girardi. Whoohoo! I'm pretty sure the guy will make the Yankees play as Yankees should - with utter confidence coming from utmost respect for the game.
I'm happy for Joe Torre for getting another managerial job, and brought Don Mattingly along. The Dodgers, while not a team I'm rooting for, should be in the playoffs next time - heck, even the World Series. Of course, I'm not hoping for a Dodgers-Yankees series. It would break my heart. Okay, maybe one year for the Dodgers, just for Torre to get back at the Steinbrenners, then Yankees all the way.
NBA
The Boston Celtics is now my favorite NBA team. Not because they're winning and haven't lost. But because it's great to see three big stars come together and play unselfishly. Garnett, Pierce and Allen have been model professionals - unlike the trio of Bryant, Marbury and Artest (okay, so they're not teammates).
I especially admire Garnett, who is simply passionate about the game. As Doc Rivers said about Garnett's energy, "Energy is talent." I never thought of that before.
I hope they win it all. If not, I hope the Phoenix Suns do.
English Premier League
Manchester United are on top with Arsenal. Ronaldo and the rest of the team has been playing quality football.
Brilliant!
