Thoughts from the Bullpen

• Does the table tennis draft draw basketballs to determine their lottery?
• Could there be anything worse than Barry Bonds sitting directly in front of you in a movie theatre?
• There are times when I'm not sure if Rick Fox was a basketball player who acted or an actor who just happened to play ball. He's just that good.
• I don't think it matters if Babe Ruth was white or black, but this whole thing about being a Sultan intrigues me.
• Somewhere right now, Bill Belichick is unhappy and wearing a polar fleece.
• Would moving the Saints to LA actually give the city a professional football team?
• I am shocked about Kobe Bryant's performance in the second half of the Lakers' game 7 against the Suns. It is rather unlike him to quit, even against obstacles like a twenty point deficit...or the word No.
• Hideki Matsui apologized to the NY fans for breaking his wrist. Kevin Millar has yet to apologize to the Baltimore fans for not doing so.
• The Royals recently held a players-only meeting. No one on their team was actually eligible to attend.
