This is as amazing a video as I’ve ever seen.  8-year-old Adam Bender, whose left leg was amputated at age one due to cancer, is now the catcher for his local Little League team.  How he does it will astonish you…

Two small stories, that I don’t think warrant their own post, but should be mentioned.

First Jeff Francouer who seemed to be on his way to superstardom, has stumbled a little. Francouer is being sent to AA Mississippi to, according to sources, work on his hitting. Francoeur hit a fantastic .206 in June, and has been coming to bat to a chorus of boos from his own fans.

The second story isn’t confirmed, but Russian team Avangard has said it has signed NHL superstar Jaromir Jagr. Jagr played for Aveangard during the strike season, but this is significant because the Russian league is trying to basically take over the where the NHL has failed. With the NHL as vulnerable as it is, I can actually see it happening. Would anyone outside a few select cities be upset if the NHL became irrelevant?

This might be the story of the year, fights in training camp start earlier and earlier every year.

In a surprising end to an ugly court battle, it seems as though the Sonic and the city of Seattle have kissed and made up. No idea what it means yet, terms are still undisclosed.

ESPN is reporting that Brett Farve is in talk with the Packers to return this season. REALLY?!

There are two things I like, one is how nasty the Rays are. What I don’t like about that is they are beating the Red Sox, but I take solace in the fact that we know the Rays aren’t going to keep this up, are they?

I also like the Money Pit, nothing negative to say about that.

An LA team is closing to the biggest signing in their long sad history.  I of course am talking about the Clippers being close to signing Baron Davis.  Davis, an LA Native, who by the way was in the same High School class as Kate Hudson, looks to be headed home.

I am sure the Clippers will still be awful, and probably ruin Davis’s career, WAY TO GO CLIPS!

It’s pretty sick when you realize that Tiger Woods has played his entire professional career on a bum knee.  Not even a bum knee, a SHREDDED ACL!  I can’t even begin to think how good he’s going to be when he comes back at 100%.  Basically, Tiger at 75% can dominate the rest of the PGA at 100%…that’s not even fair.

You’re welcome for the Tony the Tiger reference BTW.

Congratulations go out to the Spanish National soccer team, for winning Euro 2008. I am not a huge soccer fan, but I do like almost any sport when it’s played at such a high level. If you watched the match what was the deal with the Germans looking tired, and never attacking?

Crazy things going on in California everyday, but this is just insane. Although they didn’t get a hit, the Dodgers beat the Angels 1-0, and the Angels weren’t credited with a no-hitter.
