Wow

Um can someone explain to me what is going on? Is this the week for being reunited with former teams? First it was the Sixers and Allen Iverson, and now this! For those that are lost, ESPN is reporting that the Philadelphia Phillies and Placido Polanco have reached a deal (with a physical pending). Do you guys like that move? I do.

Polanco is a career .300 hitter and shows much more plate discipline than former Phillies third basemen Pedro Feliz. I also like the move because he should be able to spell Chase Utley throughout the season. And anyone that watched the Phillies all last season knows that Utley plays much better when he receives rest.

To be honest with you, the move just makes sense. It will give the team a chance to move Shane Victorino down in the order, giving a much better hitter later in the lineup and will most likely move Polanco to the No.2 spot (between Jimmy Rollins and Utley). Shoot to be real with you guys, I am getting more and more excited as I read about Polanco. This guy has never struck out 50 times in a season, something this Phillies lineup can use...PLATE DISCIPLINE!

Man just when you think this team will can not surprise you, they do. This team is continuing to show its fans that they are trying to win every year and not just settling for regular season success. I hope they do not stop with Polanco. I honestly would look at adding John Lackey to the starting rotation and adding to the bullpen.

Wow I am hype for next season...I can smell a World Series rematch already. LETS GO!

Oh lets GO!

Oh happy day!!!!!!!! Oh happy day!!!!! Man words can not express how I feel right now. To quote Ice Cube "today was a good day." ESPN is reporting that the Sixers and Iverson have agreed on terms. That means my favorite athlete of all time is back.

I am excited for the press conference, and also excited that I will be at the game on Monday. I really do hope the city comes out and shows him the love that he should get for returning home. Again I am not crazy, this does not mean that the team will win a championship or anything like that. I just means that they will be a team that I want to watch. Do not get me wrong I never stopped liking the team. In fact I still loved them. But they were the family member that I loved in my heart but did not brag to all my friends about when they talked about their teams.

I cannot wait to go back home and turn on 2k10 and download the latest rosters with "The Answer" on my team. I am shocked that this day happened. I remember when he was traded and how I thought that it was over for good. Glad I was wrong.

Welcome Back A.I.! Welcome Back!

Almost done!

So reportedly the 76ers have offered the soon to be Hall of Famer, Allen Iverson, a one year deal. The deal is a lot less than what "The Answer" was making last season. But who cares about the money? Not me! Like I stated before I am just excited that he will most likely be coming back home.

Over the last few days I have heard many people state that they are happy that he will be back. But not everyone is happy. My one friend called me and said "let it go...just move on!" I replied "Nope, I am not ready to move on." You see the Allen Iverson situation is a lot like a bad relationship with a female. You know she is not the one that will make you happy forever (i.e. marriage/NBA Championship) but for right now she is perfect.

Look the Sixers stink. No matter who plays on the team they will. I mean you could bring back Dr. J and they would stink. For the past 3 seasons I have watched the team I grew up with display some off the worst basketball I have ever witnessed. And instead of tanking a season, they choose to win just enough games to make the playoffs and get smashed in the first round. I am not crazy. I am almost positive Iverson will not put this team over the top, he may actually make the team lose a few more games. However I will now have a reason to watch the team. There will now be a player on the team I can get excited to watch.

I honestly just want him to take us back. If he does I will sing "Oh happy day."
