:06—Back to the Olympics for one more thing. We’ve come so far in the year 2016 that seeing a female Olympian with children now is so commonplace that it doesn’t even raise an eyebrow. And that’s a good thing.
:05—The Buccos. They’re hovering near .500, middle of the pack for the wild card, holding on by their fingertips and this is all being accomplished by smoke and mirrors. If I told you in April that Andrew McCutchen would be hitting about .240, Josh Harrison .260 and the pitching staff would still be using Jeff Locke, would you have put them within striking distance of the playoffs? Me either. If they make the playoffs, this year is a remarkable success and next year when Glasnow, Taillon and Josh Bell are regulars? Watch out.
:04—Sticking with baseball, you read it here first, the Cubs will not win the World Series. Will not win the N.L. pennant. And that will make me very happy because they are all-in this year, trying to buy a title like a vintage Yankees team.
:03—Adios A-Rod. Good riddance. And don’t let the door hit you in the you-know-what.
:02—And please, please, please, don’t let it ever be revealed that Albert Pujols was juicing. Watching him hit without the taint or suspicion of steroids has been an absolute joy for a died-in-the-wool, true blue (or black-n-gold) baseball fan. I hope he hits 700+ home runs. He is a class act.
:01—My thanks to Mr. Bill “The Real Deal “ Neal for allowing me to substitute for him while he recovers from his fantastic basketball camp. You are the definition of “class.” And I am out.
From Bill Neal: P.S.
Thanks Tim. And I want to take this opportunity to recognize Comcast NBC Universal as a major sponsor in the Breaking Barriers Olympic documentary held at the Heinz History Center. Thank you Comcast. Job well done.
