A Few Thoughts

Ryan Braun:  Will the lack of drugs be blamed if Ryan Braun has a poor year?  Maybe!  But what about the fact that he does not have Prince Fielder to support him in the lineup.  Remember Rich Aurila in 2001 batting in front of Barry Bonds had 206 hits, a .324 BA, 37 home runs and 97 RBI's.  Can any Giant come close to these stats in 2012?

NBA:  I believe the NBA should keep the shortened season.  Start the season in November finish in February and have the playoffs finished by tax day, April 15.  I hear the coaches saying that the players are tired. If that is true why do they spend their summers playing basketball around the world?

Giants:  If Brandon Crawford doesn't get at least a few good hits this spring look for Ryan Theiot to be the starting shortstop which will allow the Giants to start the season with either Whiteside or Stuart as a backup catcher.  After last years embarrassment I just can't believe that the Giants will allow three sub .200  hitters to bat 7, 8 and 9 in any game this season.

Red Sox.  Experts have been trying to figure out for months why the Boston  Red Sox blew the AL East Championship last September.  The truth has finally been revealed.  They were 'tipsy'. What else can you conclude when Bobby Valentine the new Sox Manager banned alcohol from the clubhouse and on some plane trips for the upcoming season.  The Yankees are having an extra one tonight!
