Greetings all...
- The post-week 1 injury rash has hit the NFL... most notably? Packers stud RB Ryan Grant is out for the year... crushing fantasy owners dreams everywhere... Brandon Jackson should step in and be okay (remember that Ryan Grant was a throw-away injury replacement a few years ago), and they'll likely sign a Justin Fargas-type to help him... Jets NT Kris Jenkins is out for the year after blowing out the same ACL as he did in 2009... this is a guy who is clearly an upper-echelon player who can't stay healthy... but that's a big blow... pretty much the exact same situation as... Colts S Bob Sanders who is NEVER healthy... the 2007 NFL defensive POY can't stay on the field... it's kind of sad really...
- Reggie Bush gives the Heisman back... sort of an aggressive play by Bush, who, by all accounts, was going to lose the Heisman anyway... could be a good PR thing for him though... I'm still not in favor of giving the Heisman to Vince Young.. that makes no sense to me...
- Jair Jurrjens is kind of a mess right now... I had a mini-rant on Twitter about this the other day... but Jurrjens has been treated with kid gloves by Braves commentators for some reason, and he's just been flat-out bad in 2010... 4.64 ERA with 1.39 WHIP, and only about 2-to-1 K/BB ratio... I understand Derek Lowe makes $15 million a year and that makes him an easy target, but the penciling in of Jurrjens as an ace-like figure after 1 very good year and 1 average year (2008) baffles me... Derek Lowe has been the better pitcher even before his dominant performance on Monday...
- NL Pennant Race Update - Phillies win... sigh, Cole Hamels again... Padres over the Rockies... I want San Diego to be good again, and bury the other 2... and LA shuts out San Fran... 2 back in the division, 1.5 lead in the Wild Card... 16 to play... I think 10-6 is the number...
What to watch for...
- Braves/Nats - Noon SportSouth - Minor/Lannan - Gotta love a good businessman's special... I wish I didn't have a job... this is randomly a big game, can't lose a home series to Washington and be serious...
- Yankees/Rays - 7:00 ESPN - Hughes/Shields - Battle for the AL East...
- Dodgers/Giants - 10:15 ESPN - Billingsley/Cain - Go Dodgers...
Enjoy the slate... Keep an eye out for the weekend football previews...
