Seriously. Here I go.
*It's time to toot the ND horn once again. Love to the old school, love for the blue doggie pride. Three trips to the tournament in a single year is impressive, taking two of them home is even more impressive, and hitting a .1000 at the big show is serious braggin' rights. There should be no trash talking here between schools, a big congratulations is in order across the board for the ND athletic program.
*I was on the train yesterday and somebody was talking to me about football. I told him that I was born and raised just south of the St. Louis area. He said, "Oh yea, I'm a huge Blues fan." Seriously guys, its ok if you don't know what your talking about when it comes to sports, but don't pretend to. And for those of you slow folks out there who didn't get it: we were talking football, the Blues are a hockey team.
*I'm glad Mark is on the NBA bandwagon, because I could care less.
I'm outta here.

DeWitt is Big League
.478 in his last eight games. 11 rbi in his last seven, and 13 in his last ten. His overall batting average is up to .317. And he jacked his first career homerun on Monday night, then followed that up with another on Tuesday, albeit in unusual fashion. It was an inside job, stoic and sly, that capped a five run Dodger come back.
But it wasn't even legging out a four bagger that had Blake DeWitt giddy. His bases loaded two out, two run single in the third made a 4-1 Mets lead nearly vanish just as quick as Dodger fans are starting to forget about NO-MA.
Remember when Nomar came into the league? For the first couple years, he was big time. I mean, he was on par with A-Rod and Jeter for two years. He was being taken top ten in fantasy drafts. I don't care how many injuries he's had, it's still surprising to see a local Sikeston product stealing this once-upon-a-time Hall of Famers night gig.
And he's doing just that. On Monday, Dodger manager Joe Torre said the job was Nomar's when he got back, but only 24 hours later he doubled back on himself. "I don't have to make that decision now," said Torre.
But soon enough he will. And the DeWitt craze is coming. The Dodgers just added a Sikeston affiliate to their broadcasting scheme, and I would assume DeWitt jerseys are being printed somewhere. Maybe even in bulk.
I hope he's real. And it seems as though he is. Pitchers have had time to figure him out, they just can't break him.
My question: how do I get Dodgers baseball in Durango? I'm on the DeWitt Wagon. And if you want on too, you better hurry. Sign up here at dewittsportsweb.com. But do it quick, you'll be sleeping with the horses and the hay if you wait much longer.
