Bonds, Glavine, A-Rod chase history today

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Of Barry Bonds, Tom Glavine, Alex Rodriguez, which of them will reach the chase first? Bonds is going for 755 to tie Hank Aaron of the MLB homerun record. A-Rod is chasing 500. And Glavine going for the elite 300 wins.

The most significant of this three will be of Barry Bonds in which for sure ESPN will cover it in all of his at bats. But never forget A-Rod, he is on his face for 800 homeruns. What about the great Tom Glavine? Will they reach it? I believe Bonds will have his 755 today.

Garnett to the Celtics

Monday, July 30th, 2007

The dream of the NBA fans for Kevin Garnett is for him to join Kobe Bryant in the Lakers uniform. It was then a great buzz which eventually turned into dream unfulfilled. The talks today is for Garnett going to the Boston celtics. It will be a manna from heaven If I were Doc Rivers or a Boston fan. To have Garnett in the weak Eastern Conference will his team an outright contender. With Paul Pierce and Rey Allen, I believe with the inclusion of Garnett, the Celtics will go to the Finals.
