-Those of us who remember "Junior" when he was in his absolute prime in Seattle, aren't really all that surprised he has hit 600 home runs. You can make the arguement that he was the best player of the 1990's...and I would. When at his best, there was nobody better on offense or defense in Center. He was the "5-tool player". If it weren't for major injuries, he would be passing 700 home runs instead of 600 home runs. First the broken wrist from the wall in Seattle up to his oft injured days in Cincinnati. "Junior" has slowed down a lot now adays, but remember him for what he was in the 90's, MLB's finest.
-Nobody in the NBA is a bigger legend in their own mind than that of Gilbert Arenas. Well, the self proclaimed "best finisher" in the game is now a free agent. This is no surprise as Arenas had repeatedly said he would forgo the final year of his six-year, $65 million deal so that he could re-sign with the team for an even larger amount. Arenas, a three-time All-Star, missed most of last season after two operations on his left knee. He has averaged 22.8 points, 5.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds in his seven-season NBA career. So, is "Agent 0" a coveted free agent? I would lean towards yes. He is a big time threat if you can put up with his oversized ego. He and "Ocho Cinco" have a lot in common.
-Looks like the "D-Train" is off the tracks, again. How big of a joke has this guy been since coming to Detroit? And you thought Barry Zito had it bad. If I were the Tigers, I would trade Dontrelle Willis straight up for Zito and feel I just stole someone's lunch money. Willis became the 3rd pitcher since 1956 last night to give up 8 earned runs on 3 or fewer hits. That is hard to do. Willis has walked 21 batters in 11 1/3 innings. I bet they wish they could bring back Frank Tannana, atleast he could throw strikes at the age of 60.
-The College World Series is set. Here are the opening round games...
Saturday, June 14
Game 1 -- Stanford (39-22-2) vs. No. 4 Florida State (54-12), 2 p.m.
Game 2 -- No. 8 Georgia (41-23-1) vs No. 1 Miami (52-9), 7 p.m.
Game 3 -- Fresno State (42-29) vs. No. 6 Rice (47-13), 2 p.m.
Game 4 -- No. 7 LSU (48-17-1) vs. No. 2 North Carolina (51-12), 7 p.m.
-My prediction sure to go wrong is, the College World Series Final will have No.2 North Carolina v. No.8 Georgia. UNC will take down the title.
-Of course, the best part of College World Series week is ESPN's coverage right? Of course it is. Atleast the people who cover it. E.A., nuff said.

-In another prediction sure to go wrong, the Los Angeles Lakers will win Game 3 tonight. Now I am not happy about this, but it will happen. The Lakers are favored by 9, expect the cover. Lakers will win big because the refs will even things out, mark my words. The officials have been getting hammered since Game 2 and it will even out tonight so Phil and Kobe can stop their complaining. Lakers 103-90.

-Michael Strahan of the Giants retired. I don't really like him or the Giants that much, but I wish he would keep playing so I don't have to hear his crap on TV this fall. You know he will get hired for some 6 hour pregame show or something on ESPN and waste my time. Maybe he can join the Today Show with Tiki?
-Cedric Benson was cut by the Bears yesterday following his second arrest in a month. When asked why, Benson said, "Somebody from the '05 draft has to keep up with Pacman." Ok, so he didn't say that but they were in the same draft, just 2 picks apart. Congrats on that draft to all those teams who passed on Shawne Merriman to the 12th pick.
-T.O. has been placed in the "reasonable cause" NFL drug testing program. Owens was placed in the program because he missed day-of telephone calls to set up random tests. Owens acknowledged Monday having missed the test several weeks ago, blaming it on a "communication problem involving cell phone numbers." Ooops, can ya hear me now T.O.?

*News Of The Weird*
-LEBANON, Pa. - Rescue crews had to cut apart a portable toilet to rescue a man who got stuck naked inside the potty. Authorities say the 31-year-old man used his cell phone to call 911 on Sunday from inside a portable toilet.
Police say the man had been drinking and had taken off his clothes. Somehow, he immersed himself in the holding tank.
Police charged the man with public drunkenness and creating a health code violation, but they have no idea why he was in the toilet with his clothes off.
*Joke Of The Day*
The Diagnosis
A beautiful, voluptuous woman goes to a gynecologist. The doctor takes one look at this woman and all his professionalism goes out the window. Right away he tells her to undress. After she has disrobed he begins to stroke her thigh.
As he does this he says to the woman, "Do you know what I'm doing?"
"Yes," she says, "You're checking for any abrasions or dermatological abnormalities."
"That's right," says the doctor. He then begins to fondle her breasts. "Do you know what I'm doing now?" he asks.
"Yes," the woman says, "You're checking for breast cancer."
"That's right," replies the doctor. He then begins to have sexual intercourse with the woman. He says to her, "Do you know what I'm doing now?"
"Yes," she says. "You're getting herpes."
