Good News, Bad News 08/13/08

Hello Gang,

It's Wednesday and we all know what that means.  So, on to the show...

Good News - The Snakes have struggled offensively and are officially Dunn, as in Adam Dunn.  They added the big popper just in time to inject some life into the under-performing team.
Bad News - Arizona already had a lineup filled with a ton of strikeouts and now they just added one of the most strikeout prone hitters in baseball.

Good News - I did my second fantasy football draft last night and I also did a podcast for the entire draft, so I was on the air for a little over 2 and 1/2 hours straight.
Bad News - My face is sore from yacking so long.

Good News - Oh ya, back to Dunn for a second, the first series he gets with his new team...in Colorado!
Bad News - Dunn went 1-3 (double) with 2 BB / 2 K and left 3 men on base.

Good News - Randy Johnson got his 10th win of the season and 294th of his career last in Colorado.
Bad News - The D-Backs bullpen blew a few Wins for the "Big Unit" early in the season that would've made him getting to 300 more of a certainty this year.

Good News - The USA athletes seem to be doing decent over in China.
Bad News - I am not very...umm...well...ya' know...INTERESTED there I said it!  I still love my country, though.

Good News - Matt Holliday is batting .348 with 22 HR, 69 RBI and 17 SB in 400 ABs. 
Bad News - The Colordao Rockies aren't having a very good year so far as they defend the NL championship.

Good News - The San Francisco Giants have won 50 games already this year, more then most experts thought they'd win all year.
Bad News - The entire G-Men organization is holding it's breath after stud starter Tim Lincecum had to leave Tuesday's game after taking a liner off of his knee.

Good News - The Houston Astros have won 10 of their last 12 games and the fans continue to come out to support the team for home games.
Bad News - Even with Lance "The Big Puma" Berkman hitting a grand salami last night and Hunter Pence getting hot, this team has no shot at the playoffs in 2008.

Good News - Ichiro got 2 more hits Tuesday Night as he extended his hitting streak to 17 games.
Bad News - He is still very underrated by fantasy owners when it comes to playes traded for to make a difference in a championship run.

Good News - Mark Spitz is the man who has been associated with olympic swimming for decades after winning numorous gold medals back in the 1970's.
Bad News - With all the hype around Michael Phelps going for even more gold medals in this year's Olympics, you'd have thought someone would have had the smarts to invite Spitz to be present during this celebration of the US swimming program at the current Olympics.

Okay, that's about it for now.
