Buy and Sell, 7/21/08

Buy:

Padraig Harrington: Two in a row in the British Open.

Greg Norman: Who cares if he didn’t win? It was a great story nonetheless.

A.L.: Winners of eleven of the last twelve all-star games, now that it really matters, it’s nice to have a run like that.

Sell:

Professional Sports: Tiger-less golf, boring baseball is really all there is to watch right now. I’m football deprived!

Washington Redskins: Losers of two players for the season on the first day of camp! That just sucks.

Boston Red Sox: Go into break up .5, and then blow three at Anaheim. Not a good way to start the second half.

Buy and Sell, 7/14/08

Buy:

Boston Red Sox: In about one week they went from 5 down to the Rays to .5 up.

Philadelphia Soul: The Soul cruised to become Arena Football champions with a whoppin’ 70-35 win over Cleveland.

Tiffany “Hot Chips” Michelle: The last woman standing in the World Series of Poker in on a roll into the later rounds.

Rick Rhoden: Winner for the 7th time of the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship. I guess some people are good at whatever they do.

Sell:

Tampa Bay Rays: Last week’s big buy dove quickly. Losers of seven straight going into the all star break, can they come back and keep this up for the second half of the year?

Green Bay Packers: Should they let Favre back? Should they release him? Should they keep him as backup? No matter how you look at it, this can only bring bad PR to a well-run, well-respected fanchise.

Tony Romo: Placing third in the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship, can this guy do any better than almost winning something important?

The Home Run Derby: The derby is supposed to bring people to baseball. It should consist of household names. Big Stars. Great Players. Hello people! A-Rod is not competing in NY! Does that make any sense? Shame on the MLB for caring too much! We want to see stars, not guys who are having a career year!

A Wie Bit Short

Michelle Wie quadruple-bogeyed the ninth at the Woman’s Open today, putting her at a 42 for the turn, and she currently sits 9 behind the early leaders, putting her basically out of contention. A young superstar who at one point showed much promise now sits out of the running after a bad injury. The 18 year-old Hawaiian was in a self-absorbed state of shock after her ball finally entered the hole at the ninth. It seems one can never experience too many ups and downs.
