7/13: All-Star Game, K-Rod Dealt...

Greetings all... hilariously slow week in sports, especially when I could care less about the All-Star festivities... alas...
  • NL 5, AL 1 - Didn't watch any of it... but the end result is the National League having homefield in the World Series.... and yes, that still doesn't make any sense to anyone...
  • The Mets have traded K-Rod to the Brewers for 2 players to be named later... this is a straight salary dump for the Mets who needed to shed Rodriguez due to a huge $17+ million vesting option for next year if he completed 21 more games... on the Brewers end, he'll apparently be setting up John Axford (who isn't as good as he is), and I have to think that's so he doesn't reach that vesting option... on the Mets side, Bobby Parnell likely takes over for anyone that cares...
  • The Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison lashes out at Roger Goodell in an interview... this wouldn't be news if it wasn't so over the top, but he actually called him a "crook" and the "devil"... uh... strong James.... let's go to Bart Scott for comment...
  • The T-Wolves have officially ended the long national nightmare and fired Kurt Rambis... this had been a formality since the Draft, and Kahn finally pulled the trigger... nothing to really see here...
  • The Open Championship (aka the British Open) starts on Thursday... no Tiger, but this is still a major and should be followed as such... interested to see how Rory responds as the favorite, and this is typically an event where an outsider can easily win... intrigue...
What to watch for...
  • Nothing! No pro sports games....
  • Okay, Okay... Women's World Cup at Noon... USA taking on France in the Semis...
Enjoy...
