Michael Strahan Retiring

After 15 Seasons, Michael Strahan finally reached the top of the mountain, as his New York Giants upset the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

Strahan decided that was enough.

Strahan announced his retirement from the NFL today, as he will no doubt be a first ballot hall of famer five years from now.

Strahan is in the same reguard as Lawrence Taylor as the greatest pass rushers in Giants history.

Flip Saunders Fired As Pistons Coach: Lineup Changes Coming

Flip Saunders is already out of Detroit. Will Rasheed Wallace Be Next

After Joe Dumars Fired Flip Saunders, he then publicly told his players they were all available to be traded.

Dumars publicly put his entire lineup on the trading block, less than a week after the Pistons lost in the Eastern Conference finals for the third straight year.

Among those available: four players who have been together since winning the 2004 NBA title together, plus another starter who just finished his fourth season with the team.

Flip Saunders signed a four-year contract worth up to $26 million three years ago. His deal came less than a day after Detroit finalized terms of Larry Brown's $7 million severance package after he helped the Pistons win a title and almost repeat in his two seasons.

Probably the most intriguing scenario wil be if Rasheed Wallace gets traded. Will the new coach adopt a whole different style of play? Who will stay and who will go? There's a lot of questions for the Pistons right now.

Why The Lack Of Attention For Manny's 500th Homerun?

Click On The Video Below To See Manny Ramirez's 500th Career Homerun. Hurry! It's only a matter of time before MLB Advanced Media will file a copyright claim and take the video down!

On Sunday May 31st, Manny Ramirez finally hit his 500th career homerun. He hit on a first pitch fastball from Chad Bradford. Manny Ramirez joins Ted Williams as the Only Red Sox with 500 Career Homeruns.

Manny hit another one to add to his homerun total. Manny now has 501 career homeruns.

I really wish there would be more attention for Manny's Milestone. Many don't like the way he plays, but I just call it "Manny Being Manny."

I know that Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds will, to many fans, have asterisks next to their name, and whether or not they were juicing or not is debatable and will be debatable for years. Manny's always had a lot of power, and he has to have a lot of power, as he routinely hits balls over that 37 foot tall "Green Monster" at Fenway Park.

Congratulations to Manny Ramirez for hitting his 500th career homerun.

Ken Griffey Jr About To Hit 600 Homeruns: Why Isn't There More Attention?

Ken Griffey Jr yesterday hit his 599th Career homerun against the Atlanta Braves, moving him one homerun away from joining the 600 club. While That was supposed to be the highlight of the day, it wasn't. Jay Bruce, the Uber-talented young outfielder for the Reds, hit his first career homerun, a Walkoff Homerun. Bruce said that was his first walkoff homerun...Ever!

Griffey Is About to reach the plateau of 600 homeruns, joining Sammy Sosa, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Barry Bonds as the only players with 600 homeruns. Why isn't there more attention being given to the milestone?

It's not like Griffey was involved in any thing steroid related. Griffey has battled injuries for years, for him to get to 600 homeruns, that should be a huge deal right now. The Reds have finally struck the jackpot with young talent, why isn't more attention being given to them?

As I Type this, the Reds are one game below .500 and 7.5 games behind the NL Central and Major League Leading Chicago Cubs. The Reds have a fantastic young pitching staff. Johnny Cueto is among the NL Leaders in Strikeouts. Edinson Volquez leads the Majors In Earned Run Average! And Let's remember this is in Great American Ballpark, not a Pitcher's Park by any stretch of the imagination!

The Reds have always been among the lead leaders in offense. They have old sluggers like Griffey Jr and Adam Dunn. They have new sluggers like Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto, and Jay Bruce.

The Reds have a manager in Dusty Baker who was close to taking the San Francisco Giants to a World Series Titile in 2002. He was close again in 2003 as he managed the Chicago Cubs to an 89-73 record and had them five outs away from their first World Series Appearance Since 1945. It's not like Dusty's a bad manager. In 2005-2006 injuries to key stars kept the Cubs away from competing. Dusty was run out of The Windy City in 2007, was a broadcaster for ESPN for one season, before managing the Cincinnatti Reds this season.


It looks right now like Chicago is about to run away with the NL Central Title, but it's just June 1st. There's a whole lot of baseball left to be played. If there was one team in the NL Central that could make a huge surge after the All Star Break and make a run at the Cubbies, the Reds would be that team.

Every other team in the NL Central has flaws that are holding them back. The only thing holding the Reds back so far this season is Dusty Baker asking Brandon Phillips and Adam Dunn to bunt with two strikes, only to hit walkoff homeruns!

I Don't get why the Reds and Griffey don't get more attention.

They're too good to be ignored.
