Odds on where A-Rod Lands

Its been a long time, shouldn'tve left ya without a strong rhyme to step to-Rakim

Ok so its only been a couple days, the novel is in the copy edit stage. I've been working on making sure that my "great work" doesn't have too many misspells and grammatical errors.

The A-Rod sweepstakes has begun, the spec is on which media wonk will be right on his "inside sources" I have heard the following teams, New York Mets, Detroit, Boston, Chicago Cubs, Seattle, San Francisco, LA Dodgers and LA Angels. Im posting odds (for fun purposes only folks) to speculate on where A-Rod might go to.

Mets: The Metropolitans are rumored to have interest and David Wright claimed he's be happy to move to 2nd to accomodate A-Rod. Uh, A-Rod is a natural shortstop and I'm thinkin that he won't want to stay at third. And I also think that A-Rod is tired of being in the fishbowl that NYC is.
Odds:100-1

Detroit: Buster Olney seems to think that A-Rod might go here, and that Mike Illitch aint afraid to shell out the duckets. But the Tigers just traded for Edgar Renteria, another case that A-Rod won't want to stay at third.
Odds: 25-1

Boston: Do the Sox want A-Rod? Listen to their fans and you might think that they don't Given the Sox recent culture of winning they might think of A-Rod as poison, but dont you think the Sox would love to get A-Rod, win and further turn the screws on their hated rivals?
Odds: 15-1

Chicago Cubs: Another team not afraid to throw the loot. A-Rod has a strong tie to his first manager in Lou Pinella and the friendly confines of Wrigley would be good for A-Rod's bat. Also the fans would be a lot more forgiving.
Odds 10-1

Seattle: Can you go home again? Better yet can the Mariners afford him? This is a real wild card.
Odds 50-1

San Francisco: Peter McGowan has stated that he likes the idea of building the franchise around another big name player. It weas done 15 years ago with a cat named Bonds. And it got him a stadium built and filled. Interesting thought here
Odds 12-1

Los Angeles Dodgers: A-Rod would be following Joe Torre whom he has said frequently that he likes and admires, but Chavez Ravine is far from a home run park and A-Rod would look to be somewhere that he can pass Bonds.
Odds 10-1

Los Angeles Angels: I think this is the best fit. A-Rod would be protected by the heavy hitting Vladmir Guerrero and there are still some rumors that the halos would be interested in Bonds as a part time DH, if Guerrero and Bonds are there to protect A-Rod...Yikes
Odds 8-1

I read something today that blew me away. For all of those that claim that the Pats ran up the score against the Skins, I submit this 72 points...
In the first quarter!
Smith Center High in Kansas scored 72 points in the first quarter against Plainville, scoring on 6 turnovers. Breaking a national record that was held for over 70 years. Smith Center won 83-0, how tough is this team? They are the defending state champs, forget about beating them. When a team scores on them this year, it'll be news. They have outscored their opponents 640-0 this year and they had already beaten Plainville 72-0 this year. I read this and had to reasearch it before I put it up, but its no joke. Wow.

Phat Dap
You knew I was gonna give one to Genarlow Wilson for staying strong and perservering in the face of a long prison sentence which was overturned. But I'll go with the easier one to the Red Sox and their once long suffering fans. Best thing was that their fans act like they've been there, oh there was joy and a little rowdiness, but they have more ammo to shoot at the Yankees. Hank Steinbrenner is definitely George's son. He can make the dumb quotes like his father did, saying "the Red Sox can have their nation, we have the universe." Not when you lose your last two World Series and haven't been to the Fall Classic in four years while The Sox have been and haven't lost a game.

Head Slap
I could give one to Scott Boras, who's look at me tactics to announce A-Rod's declining of the his option and making himself a free agent couldn't have been more ill-timed.
The one I have to give one to is to Dolphins Channing Crowder who when asked about going to London for their matchup against the Giants went on an idiotic diatribe about not knowing where London was and saying that he knew London Fletcher. To quote comedian Steve Harvey "I know as black folks we shouldn't talk about one another like this but..." Channing, you allegedly graduated college please act like you have the intelligence.
