Remember about a month and a half ago when it was reported that Dwayne Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh were going to meet to discuss their futures as free agents, then it was said that the meeting was not going to happen? Well, it happened.
The three met in Miami to discuss the possibility that they all could end up playing for the Heat. This would be the biggest thing to happen in the history of the NBA and that is not Coach Calipari hyperbole. This could potentially be the greatest collection of talent ever. This is the Big Three on steroids.
Bosh has already made it clear that he is out of Toronto as soon as the clock strikes midnight on Thursday morning. James has not made it clear exactly what he wants to do but all of a sudden Miami looks like the front runner. Money does not seem to be an issue with these three players, rings are what are important.
James also still seems intrigued by Chicago. Cleveland needs to make a move and quick if they want to keep their superstar.
- Hothead Carlos Zambrano got a little bit of good news yesterday. The Cubs pitcher recently threw a giant hissy fit, as he is prone to do, in the dugout because he was getting rocked out on the mound. Manager Lou Pinella sent him home from the game and he was suspended without pay. He was upped from the suspended list to the restricted list. He will now be able to collect as money as long as he goes to a treatment program. He is not expected to return anytime soon and it is thought that Chicago is going to try to get rid of him.
- Stephen Strasburgh is human after all. He allowed three runs, a career high, last night against the division leading Atlanta Braves. Strasburgh is 2-2 so far in five starts as a major league pitcher. Not too shabby for a Rookie. It does need to be said that in his past 3 starts the Nationals have scored one run.
- Andy Roddick was bounced from Wimbledon early yesterday. He was defeated by unranked Yen-Hsun Lu from Taipei (get out your atlas!). The press conference afterwards was classic. The American press was giving Roddick all kinds of hell. The final question to Roddick was, "How are you going to feel when you wake up in the morning? Mad, disappointed, pissed?" Roddick then fired back, "No I'm going to be really happy."
