The Sports Chicks Weekly Roundup!

Hey everyone, Kaitlyn here again. For the next couple of weeks I’m going to try and write a weekly roundup each Sunday on the happenings in sports and my opinion surrounding the topic. The good thing is that my friend and co-admin Nikki and I will both trade over on who is writing the roundup each Sunday, which will help out both of us, and will keep the blog activity running high. Let’s get this going!

Sosa blasts No. 600
I’ve never been a baseball fan to the max. I’ve always watched it here and there. But everyone who has actually paid the least bit of attention since 1998 know Sammy Sosa. McGwire and Sosa’s homerun chase sent waves throughout the world signaling Baseball is Back. It seems to me that not many people appreciate what he does for the sport! Slammin’ Sammy is a humble player of the game of baseball and plays with dignity and pride. If only people spent more time celebrating this wonderful achievement instead of questioning and debating with others over if he should make the hall of fame or not. That should chill off.

Pacman Jones, what happened?
Again, Adam Jones has gotten into trouble with the law (as if he hasn’t gotten in enough trouble already) and is facing two felony charges for a melee that happened where? You guessed it! A strip club. I guess it’s the fun time that Pacman has that gets him going to want to continue to spend his time with his friends that have nothing to lose, while he could be protecting his investment and holding up his priorities. It’s bad enough that he’s suspended for the entire NFL season. But now the whole arrangement has gone downhill now that he is into even more trouble.

Kobe Bryant.. Traded?
Wake me up when Kobe is traded. I am practically clogging my ears and batting my eyelashes at the mediocrity of this. The last time I heard him talk, he said I’m a Laker for Life. It’s more like I’m a Laker for Life if Kupchak brings in some players because I can’t lead a team on my own. I despise this man for what he did in 2003 at a Colorado hotel, and despise him even more for turning the back on the organization that was behind his back through the hard times he had following the rape allegations. I’m absolutely disgusted by his bombastic actions.

That’s it for the Weekly Roundup. If you have any suggestions/comments/rants/or anything at all, feel free to drop a comment here or send us an e-mail at thesportschicks@hotmail.com
