Damage Control.\u00a0 My ceiling was water logged last night in a brutal flood from the neighbors upstairs.<\/p>\n

Mattress Looks like it’s ruined<\/p>\n

Sony MP3-no sound<\/p>\n

Mini Stereo-No power<\/p>\n

2 Sports books one about the LA Lakers\u00a0one about the Alouettes\u00a0coach Marc Trestman-Water Logged<\/p>\n

Bedroom Ceiling-Wet<\/p>\n

Chabad\u00a0Lubavitch books and seforim\u00a0on night table with other ruined items above-\u00a0Not a drop of water, what can I say? The Rebbe was protecting them.<\/p>\n

Anyways that was The Sports Rabbi’s excitement for last night. I did however make it to a good good friend’s engagement party, albeit at 10:45pm! But hey I made it.<\/p>\n

Oh ya, sports. Well the Texas Rangers won their 11th straight. Vladimir Guerrero lashed a game winner single in the bottom of the ninth to seal the victory. It’s really amazing how hot the Rangers have been. They could really, really, really use Cliff Lee. The only problem may be the financial situation the Rangers are facing. But\u00a0I can guarantee you one thing, Major League Baseball won’t let the Rangers bolt out of Arlington. Not like the Expos.<\/p>\n

The Yankees are preparing for a reunion with Joe Torre and Alex Rodriguez is still piping hot. http:\/\/www.nypost.com\/p\/sports\/yankees\/former_manager_still_father_figure_KXXy0g7xGCYTnfQAuAhlSN<\/a>\u00a0about<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Loria\u00a0is excited with Bobby Valentine as his potential manager. Loria\u00a0is a real trashy owner who wanted Fredi Gonzalez out as manager after last year. And he was about to can him a month ago but then Hanley Ramirez happened\u00a0to go off on him and Marlins management had to keep him in order to make it seem he got fired because of Hanley’s outburst.<\/p>\n

Italy was booted from the World Cup. Yes the defending champions are bye bye, so long and farewell. Yep off to the golf courses for the Azzuri.<\/p>\n

Old, decrepit and done. I love Italy and I feel terrible, but the writing was on the wall for this team.\u00a0 They didn’t look good through qualifying as well as France who met\u00a0their maker too. Bad news all around for those 2 nations plus England just\u00a0squeaked into the 2nd round.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Brazil and Argentina\u00a0playing\u00a0with full\u00a0tanks of gas, I don’t know who will beat them?\u00a0Maybe\u00a0as\u00a0The Sports\u00a0Rabbi predicted\u00a0the USA will win it all!<\/p>\n

Well the USA plays their second round match on Saturday night against Ghana where they will be looking for revenge from their game back in 2006.<\/p>\n

If the USA beats Ghana, they will face either Uruguay or South Korea in the quarter finals. So in essence they have a fairly decent chance to make it to the semi finals and if they make it that far, well anything can happen.<\/p>\n

More Thoughts from the Pulpit<\/p>\n

1) John Wall went #1 overall in the 2010 NBA draft last night. Probably one of the worst kept secrets, Wall was the only choice for the first pick going to the Washington Wizards. Evan Turner\u00a0is\u00a0now a Philadelphia 76er\u00a0and Derrick Favors a New Jersey Net. The Sacramento Kings chose\u00a0DeMarcus\u00a0Cousins. Cousins who I\u00a0wrote about earlier in the week will be coming into a young team led by Tyreke\u00a0Evans. I wonder how Paul Westphal will handle this up and coming club. And I wonder if Samuel Dalembert\u00a0will be on his way with\u00a0Omri Casspi\u00a0to Toronto for Hedo\u00a0Turkolu. It could happen, but\u00a0I guess we’ll see…<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0The NHL will be holding their draft this weekend in Los Angeles where the\u00a0Edmonton\u00a0Oilers\u00a0hold the #1 pick. They will be taking Windor\u00a0Spitfires\u00a0left winger Taylor Hall with the choice.\u00a0 The Boston Bruins\u00a0holding the second spot in the draft will probably go with Plymouth Whalers Center Tyler Seguin and The Florida Panthers with the 3rd pick will be looking at defenseman Eric Gudbranson\u00a0from the Kingston Frontenacs. All three of these prospects ply their trade\u00a0in the Ontario Hockey League, the OHL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
