Never Give Up

...but apparently the Blue Jays front office doesn't think so.

Fresh off the press, the Toronto Star reporting that JP Ricciardi has counted out the Blue Jays this season. Well, the situation is certainly not good, but to say something like that is not the trait of a GM. I've never like JP; to be completely candid, he should've been gone a long time ago. This team needs to get back to the days of quality internal development.

In other baseball news, CC Sabathia has garnered his first victory in the NL. Coming off the trade to the Brewers, he contributed a quality start and looks fine in a Brewers uni. You can mark my words, he'll be super successful in the NL Central. The guy is a veteran now and has nasty stuff.

Final Man Vote for the All Star Game. Who you supporting?? For me, it's JD of the Sox and Carlos Lee of the Astros. Get on MLB.com to cast your ballots NOW!!!

Rich Harden to the Cubs...not your typical headline. Frankly, I was caught off guard, but you know what, the A's really haven't benefitted from the highly touted Rich Harden. So it makes sense for Billy Beane to get some potent prospects in exchange. Plus, the Cubs are the audacious ones this year and you gotta admire Jim Hendry's willingness to take risks.

I'm still in awe of Sunday's Wimbledon final. Definitely the greatest match we've ever seen on grass, perhaps in tennis history. So will Roger regain his godly form for Flushing Meadows?

The weather's gorgeous up here in TO, so I'm gonna play a little tennis of my own!
