Each week I'll talk about the world of sports:
*I eat my heart every time I see Josh Hamilton rip the ball off the cover. The former Tampa Bay Rays outfielder hit four home runs on Tuesday to tie a major league record.
*In my opinion, Derek Jeter will be in the 4000-hit club and will ultimately break Pete Rose's all-time hit record. Yes, Pete belongs in the Hall of Fame! I remember when many in the media were screaming that Jeter and David Ortiz lost their bat speed; they both look pretty good now!
*Recently, I was involved in a great debate. Which duo would you rather have, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City, or Chris Paul and Blake Griffin of the Clippers? I would take CP3 and Griffin.
*Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels' suspension was a joke. He admiited throwing at diaper dandy Bryce Harper and got a five-game suspension. In my view, he should miss at least three starts!
*Spurs' Gregg Popovich is the most under-the-radar super coach in pro sports. He has done a super job with San Antonio this season. It helps that having a fantastic year at point guard is Tony Parker.
*Do you think Serena Williams is getting ready for the French Open? Look what she did in Madrid last week, beating Caroline Wozniacki, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka en route to the championship.
