Why so many questions?

Today is a very curious day for me. I got questions y'all and I need some answerin'. Like, when they show Bryce Harper on sports center and talk about his hometown, will we be subjected to another video clip of the strip? Is that the only clip newsrooms were given when they passed out clips for cities? Why can't they show the beautiful mountain landscape that surround us? Ahhh, what serenity...Speaking of serene, how cool is Bryce Harper for gettin' tossed for the second time this season. This time for a two game suspension. Ok, so we know it's not easy doing the things he's done, but if you can't manage your behavior now it won't get much better in the big leagues. With that being said, its not a way you want to end your amateur career. What it boiled down to was Harper disputed a pitch that by all rights should have been a strike. This would have been fine, he could have shown up the ump, maybe swapped spittle, kicked a little dirt and then continued to play ball. But, you know he is only 17 so what did he do? He drew a line in the dirt. I don't see what all the fuss was about. He missed the strike, I thought Harper was just giving him a little help. Oh well, it remains to be seen what his future will be. Guess it's back to Cashman Field. Yup, I'll be basking in the sunlight sipping my soda pop wondering what the weather is like in Toronto. It'll be fun though. The 51's will be back in town next week. Kids are out of school and parents are out of options. Does, "I'm borreeed!" echo around your house? Well if it does, then get the whole family out there to have a ball. The next game is is Thursday the 10th. That's not a long wait. You will be waiting in line a long time for tickets to the Lakers/Kings game October 13th. Could it be possible that we'll have the NBA champions in our town, or am i getting ahead of myself? I hate when that happens. Let me back it up. I said last blog that I would feature a youth team or coach that is showing a positive image in the Las Vegas sporting community. This week I must commend Denard Whiteside, aka Coach D. Coach D is owner and CEO of Hoops Heaven. This organization not only runs basketball tournaments, but they offer trophy ceremonies, pictures, shirts and videos. Wow. What is impressive is the fact that Coach D and his staff are able to reach out to youth in the community who would otherwise slip thru the cracks of this city. Because of that, he has been a large influence in his community by helping these youths believe in themselves and others. I had the pleasure of watching one of his teams at the Memorial Day tournament held at Tarkanian Basketball Academy and was impressed. Mainly because sports should be more than a "w" or "l", they should have some lesson that you are able to take back with you and use in your lifetime some day. Coach D, we tip our 51's baseball hats to you. Stay around for the next blog you'll actually get directions the Cashman Field. You just had your scoop...
