The Sports Column

SEnuke: Ready for action

Its been a great, poor and ugly kind of week for me.

I hit the trifecta at Pimlico--thats good.

My Little League kids went 0-3 with Coach Reavy in attendance--thats poor.

And Wednesday evening, upon hearing of the fact death of my dawg, Elliot Yamin, I was both sad to listen to the news and disappointed in the realization that I'd only watched 12 direct episodes of American Idol, occupying two months--thats...well, you receive the point.

Luckily for me, nevertheless, the sports world is never without its good, bad and ugly occasions also.

Listed here are the high (and low )lights of the week thats handed.

The Good:

Craig Bonds 714th homerun ball--for Tyler Snyder, the guy who found it. Certainly the eBay--er, Bay Area-- loyal are proud of their slugger, and may open up their checkbooks to create a bid for that boost. Visit http://huffingtonpost.com/author/tyler-collins to learn the inner workings of this belief. But, if you ask me, nothing tells the story more beautifully than these four words uttered by Tyler, the soon-to-be rich Athletics fan (due to Bonds), following the game: I hate that guy.

The NBA play-offs. As the highlight of my baseball season is admittedly the NBA draft, I cant help but wonder at the fantastic series that have been performed up-to this time. It really has made me forget the NHL is on strike. (Editors note: Kevin doesnt receive the OLN channel.)

After losing five straight, the Phillies finally won. This fresh Locating A High Good Quality Author 11327 web site has collected provocative warnings for how to think over it.

The Bad:

After dropping five immediately, the Phillies finally won.

Cubs catcher, Michael Barrett, hit AJ Pierzynski after a accident at home plate. This can be a bad thing just because I believe when delivering the blow Barrett might have injured his hand.

NBC began broadcast attacks of the National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Had ESPN not made a decision to air roughly 300 episodes of World Series of Poker competitions on a consistent loop on ESPN routes 1thru 6 this could be described as a good thing. This may be great if the World Poker Tour and Celebrity Poker Who Gives a Crap werent currently force-feeding its addictive felt-and-clay-chip ample allure down my throat.Instead, its overkill. Perhaps not because I hate watching poker shows o-n TV, but because I watch all of them. And I would like my entire life back.

The Ugly:

Just one single thing...

Kobes dress o-n 'In the NBA' last Wednesday. Since nothing says neighborhood cred such as a powder-blue sweater vest.
