SWEEP!

Yes, I’m feeling better about my Yankees.  Of course, when you can sweep the defending World Series champs, that can happen.  And for all of you Tiger fans reading this, feel free to post your notes of gratitude.

Speaking of the Yankees, Octavio Dotel has begun his minor league rehab stint, and hopefully will land in New York within the next 2-4 weeks for some bullpen help.  Thanks to Randy, Moose, and Jaret Wright for having pretty decent starts this weekend.

The Tour de France still has one more week to go, and to be honest, nobody has established themselves as a clear favorite.  American Floyd Landis has as good a shot as anyone, but we’ve got 3 tough mountain stages coming up Tuesday through Thursday, plus the final individual time trial on Saturday.  If you haven’t been watching, I encourage you to find OLN (that’s the Outdoor Life Network) on your cable or satellite system.  If you have DirecTV, it’s on channel 608.  Live coverage happens in the morning, but OLN runs condensed replays throughout the day, with an evening session beginning at 8:00 pm ET.

After the tour wraps up, I’ll be watching my Yankees, but that will probably be about it until the US Open starts at the end of August.

Sorry this one’s short, but it’s better than nothing.
