| Kudos & Wet Willie's | | 2007-06-03 14:34:00 | | It's time for an edition of Kudos and Wet Willie's.Kudos to ...• LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. King James and his supporting cast have bailed out David Stern and the NBA, reaching the finals and making the NBA watchable again.• Mississippi Braves Manager Philip Wellman. On pure entertainment value, this is the best managerial tirade in a long time. You do, however, have to think maybe Wellman could use some counseling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUcFWPgB8oYWet Willie's to ...• Fox broadcaster Tim McCarver. McCarver ripped the Yankees decision not to start Roger Clemens this weekend in Fenway Park (which was rendered moot by Clemens' injury). What is came down to is that McCarver was whining about the ratings boost the game would have gotten if Clemens pitched Saturday during the Fox telecast.• The Chicago Cubs. They're fighting with each other, Manager Lou Piniella is losing control of his temper and his team, and the Cubs (22-31) are headin... | | By: Valentine's Views on Sports | | |
| | Kudos & Wet Willie's, full edition | | 2007-05-25 17:23:00 | | Kudos & Wet Willie's, generic edition.Kudos to ...• John Smoltz. The long-time Braves ace shut out the Mets for 7 innings Thursday night to become the first pitcher to record 200 wins and 150 saves in a career.• The Braves. Last night's victory gave Atlanta three straight series victories over the Mets. The Braves trail New York by only 1.5 games, and look like they will push the Mets all season.• Derrek Lee. The Cubs first baseman leads the majors with a .370 batting average and is third in RBI with 41.• Tim Duncan. The San Antonio Spurs star continues to add to a legacy that could see him considered the best power forward to ever play. He now has at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in 11 straight playoff games. Duncan seems well on his way to leading San Antonio to their fourth title in his remarkable 10-year career.Wet Willie's to ...• Michael Vick. This whole dog-fighting thing is turning into a huge embarrassment for Vick and the NFL. And, of course... | | By: Valentine's Views on Sports | | |
| | Kudos & Wet Willie's, Yankees edition | | 2007-05-25 13:04:00 | | It's time to hand out some Kudos and Wet Willie's. This will be an all Yankees edition.Kudos to ...• Derek Jeter. The Yankee Captain passed Joe DiMaggio Wednesday and moved into fifth place on the all-time Yankee hit list. He now has 2,216 career hits. Jeter, who will turn 33 next month, is most likely going to become the all-time Yankee hit leader before he is through playing, as well as the first Yankee to reach 3,000 hits. Lou Gehrig is the team's all-time leader with 2,721 hits. Jeter is currently hitting .367, and over the past two seasons has been as good, if not better, than ever. There are a great many people who believe that Jeter is overrated, but accomplishments like this make that argument hard to sustain. There will be a monument to Jeter one day in the new Yankee Stadium, and it will be well deserved.• Jorge Posada. At an age where catchers usually slow down, Posada is playing better than ever. Like Jeter, he's hitting .367. He's also done great work with a young... | | By: Valentine's Views on Sports | | |

| Let's play Kudos & Wet Willie's | | 2007-05-14 19:03:00 | | Time for a quick version of Kudos & Wet Willie's.Kudos to ...• Sean O'Hair: O'Hair is getting killed for his decision yesterday on the 17th hole of the Players Championship. In case you aren't familiar with it, O'Hair trailed Phil Mickelson by two shots heading to the infamous island green at the 17th. His choice, lay up in the middle and be satisfied with second place, or go for the pin -- located in a tricky corner -- and risk hitting the ball in the water while trying to win.O'Hair went for the win, hit two balls in the water and dropped from second place to 11th. Oh, by the way, that cost him $747,000.To me, though, you compete for one reason -- to win. If you have a chance at victory, you have to take it. I wouldn't expect a professional to do anything else.• Jeff Gordon: You won't find much NASCAR talk here at The View, but what Gordon did Sunday was worthy of mention. Despite fighting with an overheating car that was spewing steam the last 100 laps, Gordon emerged vi... | | By: Valentine's Views on Sports | | |
| | Introducing Kudos & Wet Willie's | | 2007-04-30 22:16:00 | | I ran a little something on my New York Giants blog the other day called 'Kudos & Wet Willie's,' sort of my version of thumbs up, thumbs down.It's the end of the first month of the baseball season, the NFL Draft just concluded and the NBA Playoffs are in full swing, so I thought now would be a good time for a 'Kudos & Wet Willie's' here at Valentine's Views.By the way, some of you more perverted folks might have a different idea of what a 'Wet Willie' is. For our purposes, we won't go there. Our definition is below, and I really don't want to hear yours.The act of moistening one's finger with one's own saliva, then inserting that finger into an unsuspecting person's ear canal.Anyway, let's get to it.Kudos to ...Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod had a fabulous April, hitting a record-tying 14 home runs, driving in a major league-leading 34 runs and hitting .355. He also blasted two game-winning ninth-inning home runs. The Yanks have been bad. Without A-Rod's heroics, though, th... | | By: Valentine's Views on Sports | | |
