The Mets are a Triple-A team at best these days so I like the Dodgers and Zona is on a four game winning streak and I’m betting the Padres don’t end it today. Good luck!

Word on the streets is LeBron James was hammered on this past Monday night by Xavier guard Jordan Crawford at LeBron’s Skill Camp. The more intriguing aspect of the story is that supposively Nike and LeBron requested the video should not be released to the public. Why confiscate the tape? Does this somehow hurt LeBron’s almighty image? Will the LeBron puppet not know how to handle another disappointment? There is no doubt at some point the video of Crawford two-hand jamming on LeBron will get out and rest assure when it does we will have it. Stay tuned.
Generally when stars show up to sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame at Wrigley Field we jump at the chance to show you a botched rendition of the seventh inning stretech staple. While Erik “Ponch or Ponchorello if your nasty” Estrada’s arragement of Take Me Out to the Ballgame was putrid at best it was the interview he carried out afterwards that stole the show. References to the sexiest man alive, child porn, and Ron Jeremy’s magic stick should never be included in the same discussion. Check it out!
Time to get back on track today so you better get on the Dbacks facing the Padres who are 12-26 on the road this year. I also really like the Mariners who are 7-1 in their last 8 home games and 13-3 in their last sixteen games as a favorite. Ring it up!

Is Roger Federer the best tennis player to ever play the game? The argument has been brewing for a couple of years now and it will surely become more contentious considering today he broke the all-time Grand Slam titles mark previously held by Pete Sampras. Federer outlasted Andy Roddick 5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-14 today in the Wimbledon Finals to set the record. In my mind there should be no argument because Federer is by far the best tennis player ever and that should be the end of the discussion. The man is only 27 years old and has won a record breaking 15 Grand Slam titles in his career not to mention he also previously held the world #1 ranking for a record 237 consecutive weeks. If that isn’t enough then also consider Federer has reached the semifinals, or better, in the last 21 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments which is a record streak spanning over a fiver year period. On this topic it is best to accept greatness rather than fight it!
Today is a great day to catch a game and better yet make some money off it while watching it. We have been heating up on our picks and I expect cashing again with today’s games. Good luck!

I hope everyone is enjoying the glorious freedom we have in the USA because we are extremely lucky to say the least. Fire up the grill and pop open the beers because it is time to celebreate the Fourth of July! Have a safe and fun holiday weekend.
Does the name Timmy Chang ring a bell for any of you college football fans? Chang from Hawaii was only one of the most productive quarterbacks to ever play the game in college, but like most quarterbacks from a “system” he never produced in the NFL. I’m not real sure what he is up to these days, but I do know he has been arrested on suspicion of robbery. Timmy was arrested from his home after a woman alleged her camera was taken away while she was filming a fight last month in Hawaii.
Supposively Chang told the woman to stop filming the fight which led to a struggle before Chang took the camera from the woman and threw it on the roof of a neighboring building. Chang has not been able to be reached for comment yet and I don’t suspect he will be until this blows over.
Last week we mentioned how the lovely Joanna Krupa made TO her bi#*h on the ABC show The Superstars which was just the medicine Mr. Owens deserved. Today we mention Joanna Krupa because we just found out she has a freakin TWIN SISTER! Her name is Marta which isn’t the sexiest name in the world, but who gives a flip when she is smoking hot. Today I would like to toast an ice cold draft brew to the Krupa twins and then I’m off to take a cold shower. Schwing!

Former boxing champion Alexis Arguello, one of the best junior lightweights to ever step in the ring, was found dead at his home early Wednesday. The La Prensa newspaper reported Arguello was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and the rumors are starting to swirl around whether his death was a suicide attempt. Arguello previously discussed with Sports Illustrated in 1985 that he had considered suicide to escape feelings of betrayal and despair and there have been reports recently he had been battling serious bouts with depression.
Before Arguello no one had ever won the title in three different weight divisions. Arguello even moved up again in weight in 1982 to challenge junior welterweight figther Aaron Pryor in a tilt titled as the “Battle of the Champions.” Over 20,000 fans poured into the Orange Bowl to see an epic brawl that ultimately led to Pryor knocking out Arguello in the 14th round which today would be unheard of for boxers to go so many rounds. Arguello is one of the classiest fighters to ever step foot into the ring due to his upstanding character and demeanor. Rest in peace Alexis!
