Where Are All The Curtis Granderson Bashers Now?
Anybody who thinks Curtis Granderson is just an average player got the message Wednesday night that he is much more than that.
A 10th-inning bomb into the right field seats at Fenway Park off Jonathan Papelbon to beat the Red Sox while wearing a Yankees uniform has already made him a star in New York.
And it should. Come on. How many players are capable of doing that?
The headline on the back page of the New York Post Thursday: JUST GRAND!
It was accompied by a photo of Granderson hitting his game-deciding shot.
Random Thoughts
- Surprising fact about the Red Wings: They have lost just 24 games during regulation time this season- the fourth fewest regulation defeats in the NHL.
- I think Tiger Woods' ad for NIKE, with his late father, falls under the category of tacky. Would they even consider making the same ad were Earl Woods alive? Pathetic. Another example of Tiger and NIKE out of control.
- I do think, dispite the Tigers' loss Wednesday in Kansas City, it was a good sign Miguel Cabrera hit such a clutch home run. Despite his impressive stats during his first two years with the Tigers, those were the type of clutch hits that were missing from Cabrera reportaire.
- Just curious: Why did the Diamondbacks trade Max Scherzer? I know Edwin Jackson is a good pitcher, but Scherzer, who was the 11th overall pick in the baseball draft not long ago, could surpass Jackson as soon as this season - let alone in the long term.
- The Lions have to get running backs from somewhere. Has to be the draft, doesn't it? I figure they'll draft one in the third round. It will be someone along the lines of Ben Tait of Auburn, Anthony Dixon of Mississippi or Jonathan Dwyer of Georgia Tech.
- I do still wonder where Toby Gerhart will fall in this draft. Ditto for Tim Tebow.
- A team that is not often mentioned, but might be a trading partner with the Lions is Buffalo. The Bills need a quarterback desperately, but don't really have extra draft picks to throw into such a deal. San Francisco does, but are they happy with Alex Smith? It would be bizzare if Oakland took Jimmy Clausen so soon after taking JaMarcus Russell first overall. I hear Buffalo is interested in Tebow, but ninth overall would be a stretch.
