Chain Link Thoughts

The WBC begins here in SD this afternoon with Japan playing Cuba , with the Cubans as the favorite...speaking of a favorite falling...the USA took a 11-1 drubbing at the hands of Puerto Rico, who actually ten run them in a little league rule to save a team from embarrassment...and who is not more embarrassed than Jake Peavy as he was destroyed for 6 runs in two innings...SDS continues to destroy UNLV in baseball...UNLV hosted the MWC hoop playoff and SDS fell just 2 points short at the hands of Utah...the Jazz who lost in a double OT last night and helped out Portland is the NBA...which continues the longest season in professional sports...as Lefty battles it out in the PGA with Watney, out of San Diego at Doral...speaking of smoking, if there is anyone hotter than Garret Gomez in horse racing I'd love to see it...who I'd love to see Kyle Blanks in a major league uniform this season...and why does the Boston uniform have more national appeal than any other?...why does Dustin Pedroia bail out on the WBC for a minor injury and leave the US high and dry at 2b?...no place higher than Denver Nuggets and they are holding off the rest of the teams with timely play...times are tough for Ernie Kent at the once proud Orygun Dux hoop program...and how did USC upset ASU in the PAC-10 playoffs?...which leaves me to wonder...can the US of A regroup quick enough to beat the Netherlands...THE NETHERLANDS?
