My first post

First of, I would like to say welcome to those of you reading my new blog. I will be updating this as I have time (which is a lot), or as I feel (which will probably be bi-daily).

Anyway, a couple of quick thoughts about the past couple days in baseball before I go to bed. First off I would like to congratulate Jon Lester for his performance tonight against Cleveland. I know previous athletes have come back from cancer before, but that doesn't make it any less special when it happens again. It also gives guys like Rick Reilly something to write about for his column no one reads. It was also nice to see the Red Sox win again, and see Crisp and Lugo stay hot.

During the Sox vs. Sox game on Saturday on Fox, which is bad enough itself, they kept interrupting the game to show each of Barry Bonds' at-bats. This would be ok, maybe, if Bonds was about to break or tie the record. However, he was/is three short, but Fox insisted on showing each of his at-bats. Word to Fox, Barry Bonds is shown enough on ESPN, as well as other sports stations, and we don't need to see every homerun leading up to 755 then 756. While I am on the topic of Bonds, when he does break the record Bud Selig HAS to be there. This is the biggest record in baseball, tainted or not. Selig can't turn his back on this due to steroid suspicion because he did nothing to prevent steroid use until it was brought up in front of Congress.
