Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I think Michael Strahan may not really be thinking of retiring but instead just wants to skip 2-a-days without getting fined. If he says he's thinking about retiring then its tough for the Giants to fine him. Any other excuse gets you fined the minute you miss the first practice... Much has been made about Jose Canseco's comments to WEEI about "having something" on Alex Rodriguez. Most people have assumed that it is regarding steroids but I was listening to the interview as it happened and I took Canseco's comments that A-Rod is "not the person you think he is" (quote taken from memory) to be some insinuation about A-Rod's sex life. There are already rumors that A-Rod is a "swinger" and maybe that's what Canseco was referring to.... It was 27-years ago today that JR Richard had a stoke. The stoke ended Richard's baseball career and put him on a downward spiral that saw him become destitute and homeless. Now 57-years old it seems like Richard has gotten his life back together and is now a Christian Minister... The Mariners are in the midst of a playoff hunt but yet you hear rumors that Richie Sexson is on the trading block. Strange...
