I will repeat what I said last month - the Lopez Brothers will be amongst the biggest draft flubs this year. Consider me completely unimpressed with both.

Quincy Douby gets one more year to figure out some real value for the Sacramento Kings. I hope the Kings make an offer to Jason Richards of Davidson fame, though. I also think that Patrick Ewing, Jr., will be interesting for the Kings.

Somebody's going to get a good pickup with Chris Lofton. Not drafted.

The Phoenix Suns are done as a major contender for a while. Old, and it doesn't appear like much help in this draft. Robin Lopez as the 15th pick? Bleh.

Exciting news in the sporting world!

LOS ANGELES (AP)—Candace Parker became the second woman to dunk in a WNBA game and the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Indiana Fever 77-63 on Sunday night.

Parker took a pass from Raffaella Masciadri, dribbled the length of the court and dunked with her right hand with 29 seconds to play.

“When I caught the ball and there was an open lane, it was a good opportunity,” Parker said. “I’m happy that I was able to do it in Los Angeles in front of the home fans.”

Lisa Leslie, her Sparks teammate, is the only other WNBA player to do it— throwing a shot down during a game in 2002.

I'm all for women playing basketball but have no idea why they put it on TV. They might as well televise our weekly old guy pickup games. You'll see about the same amount of highlight reel plays. Doesn't two dunks in five years say all that needs to be said?

Sorry, that's an old piece of strato baseball geek lore from my life a long long time ago. If you understand it, you're one of 4 or 5 people in the world, and how the hell are you anyway.

Back to the point - I always liked this guy as a ballplayer.

On June 18, Newark Bears manager Wayne Krenchicki led his team to his 1000th career managerial win with a 7-6 victory over the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, MD. Krenchicki, the second winningest manager in Atlantic League history with 661, has also won games in the Arizona, Midwest, Texas-Louisiana, and Northern Leagues in a managerial career that began with the Milwaukee Brewers organization back in 1991.

what a disaster this guy has been for the franchise. Please, no more very early first round running back or quarterback picks this decade, okay?

Please, let it be true.

I don't think the San Francisco Giants are particularly cool, but this guy is...

But the Stanley Cup game last night sucked me in. Damn if Marc-Andre Fleury didn't put on a show, especially in triple-overtime, in goal. Wow.
