Philadelphia is one of the toughest places to play sports. From the insane saylum that is the Vet, to the First Union lunatics, this city, like NY, loves to gripe about anything and everything. But will todays no-hitter pitched by Kevin Millwood over Barry Bonds and the Giants lift them to make a run at the division title before they get a new ballpark? I don't think so. The Braves continue to do what they have done since 1991, and play baseball that while not great, is good enough for 11 straight division titles. They are tied with Montreal, an up and coming team, for the lead in the NL East. The Mets will never win another World Series, but it won't be for lack of trying. Everyone hates the Yankees, but at least their owner cares enough about them to spend some money. Same thing for Doubleday. Even though he has a bad team, he consistently overpays for players on the waning days of their career. Florida will provide a cushion for the Mariners, because they need a new stadium to compete. (Oh wait, don't half the major league teams need a new stadium to compete? Oh Yeah, and the other half just got them. And still suck. Try Milwaukee, Cincinatti, San Diego, and Pittsburgh.)
I will compare the other divisions, and the Packers and Vikings drafts, tommorow. Also, Apple has some big announcement, which hope means a new computer that I can actually afford.
So, what is going on with the Wild? Get with the season.
Apple's big announcement - they might actually support a Republican! Nah, why should they get in tune with the population now?!
