Random Thoughts Unworthy Of Full Posts

So, Albert is to participate in the Home Run Derby...I guess it could be worse. Edmonds could have said it wanted to do it.



The PD has a very nice story on TJ Oshie and his decision to stay at North Dakota for his junior year. I particularly liked this bit:

Oshie had not yet played a game for UND when the Blues surprisingly took him with the 24th overall pick in ’05.

"A lot of fans were saying, ‘What are the Blues doing?" Schlosman said. "They went way off the board for this kid. But by the midway point of the (2005-06) season, a lot of those fans were saying, ‘OK, never mind.’"

I see DC United lost to Houston one-nil today. This should surprise no one. Houston is clearly the best team in the league this season. Barring injury issues they should repeat without breaking too much of a sweat. United is playing for second best this year.
