WOODY'S SPORTS PAGEContributing writer Pete Wood |
| WELCOME TO THE BIRTH OF WOODY'S SPORTS PAGE. OBVIOUSLY I'M WOODY. PLEASE ALLOW ME TO PRESENT SOME OF MY QUALIFICATIONS. I HAVE PLAYED MANY SPORTS , FOOTBALL FOR ONE AT A COLLEGIATE LEVEL. I'VE BEEN A SPORTS FANATIC SINCE I WAS A KID. I WILL BE WRITING ABOUT WHAT EVER SPORT IS IN SEASON. IF SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN ONE OF THE LESS POPULAR , IN SEASON SPORTS I WILL COMMENT ON THAT AS WELL. ____________________________________ NOW THAT I HAVE DISPENSED WITH THE FORMALITIES I MUST IDENTIFY MYSELF AS A TRUE BLUE YANKEES FAN. I WILL NEVER SET FOOT INTO RED SOX NATION, BUT I WILL TRY TO RESPECT THE RED SOX ABILITIES. _____________________________________ THE AMERICAN EAST IS GOING TO BE A BIT TOUGHER THIS YEAR. TORONTO HAS DEFINITELY IMPROVED AND IF FRANK THOMAS HAS A BIG YEAR, LOOK OUT, AS THE RED SOX JUST LEARNED THIS PAST WEEKEND. I BELIEVE THE TB RAYS, NO LONGER TB DEVIL RAYS, MAY APPROACH THE 70 WIN MARK THIS YEAR. BALTIMORE ON THE OTHER HAND COULD VERY WELL LOSE 100 GAMES. THAT LEAVES THE YANKEES AND RED SOX TO FIGHT IT OUT FOR THE DIVISION. FRANKLY I THINK ITS GOING TO BE A DOG FIGHT THIS YEAR WITH EACH SERIES, BETWEEN THE TWO . BOTH TEAMS HAVE QUESTION MARKS IN THEIR ROTATION. THE RED SOX ARE WITHOUT SCHILLING FOR THE NEXT 50 DAYS OR SO AND WHO KNOWS IF HE WILL EVER COME BACK AT ALL. BECKETT WAS THROWING WELL IN TORONTO. HIS THROW WAS A BIT FLEX , BUT ITS EARLY AND HIS SPRING WAS SHORT THIS YEAR. DICEK CAME BACK TO EARTH IN THE SECOND HALF LAST YEAR AND HE THROWS A LOT OF PITCHES FOR THE NUMBER INNINGS PITCHED. I'M SURE THAT TREND WILL CONTINUE AND IT WILL BE TOUGH ON THE BULL PEN. ____________________________________ WAKEFIELD WILL BE WAKEFIELD AND LESTES IS JUST NOT THAT GOOD. THE YANKEES HAVE PITCHING ISSUES TOO, WITH A VERY YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED STAFF. I STRONGLY BELIEVE HUGHES HAS THE RIGHT STUFF AND HE WAS SHOWING US THAT LAST YEAR, BEFORE HE POPPED HIS HAMSTRING IN TEXAS DURING WHAT WAS SHAPING UP TO BE A NO HITTER. KENNEDY I HAVE MY RESERVATIONS ABOUT. IF HIS FIRST START IS ANY INDICATION OF WHAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE. HE MAY VERY WELL PITCH HIS WAY OUT OF THE ROTATION. ________________________ OUT OF THE CENTRAL, MUCH LIKE EVERYONE ELSE , I SEE DETROIT TAKING IT. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE CURRENTLY WINLESS , BASEBALL IS MORE LIKE A MARATHON THAN A SPRINT. CLEVELAND AND CHICAGO WILL BE HEARD FROM ONCE THE WILD CARD RACE BEGINS. ________________ OUT OF THE WEST, I LIKE SEATTLE. THEY MADE SOME SIGNIFICANT UPGRADES. THE ANGELS ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE INJURY ISSUES WITH STARS. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS SEASON WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT. ALSO THEY HAVE AN UNHAPPY K ROD ON THEIR HANDS. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WILL HELP OR HURT THEM , ALTHOUGH HE IS A FREE AGENT AT THE END OF THE SEASON, SO ITS POSSIBLY A PLUS. _________________________________ THAT'S IT FOR BASEBALL . MY NEXT POST WILL BE A RUN DOWN ON THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. THANKS FOR READING WOODY'S SPORTS PAGE AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT . I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. PLEASE ADD THEM TO THIS FORUM. WOODY 2008-04-10 00:00:00.0

WELCOME TO THE SECOND EDITION OF WOODY'S SPORTS PAGE. TODAY I WILL GIVE THE RUN DOWN ON THE NATIONAL LEAGUE, AND MY PREDICTIONS. PLUS I WILL GIVE SOME YANKEE NEWS AND TOUCH ON THE MASTERS TOURNAMENT AND THE NBA PLAYOFFS.__________________________________ I BEGIN WITH THE NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST. EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK A HISTORIC COLLAPSE BY THE NEW YORK METS LAST YEAR IN ORDER FOR THE PHILLIES TO WIN THE DIVISION, I SEE THEM WINNING IT THIS YEAR ON THEIR OWN MERITS, RATHER THAN A MET IMPLOSION. THEY HAVE A GREAT LINEUP WITH JIMMY ROLLINS LEADING OFF. HE CAN HIT FOR POWER AND HAS ENOUGH SPEED TO STRETCH A LONG SINGLE INTO A DOUBLE. THEN THERE IS RYAN HOWARD ALWAYS DANGEROUS AT THE DISH AND LAST SEASON HE HIT 377 WITH RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION AND 2 OUTS . SOUNDS PRETTY CLUTCH TO ME. HOWEVER I THINK ITS THE ADDITION OF BRAD LIDGE FROM THE ASTROS THAT WILL TRULY GOING TO BE THE DIFFERENCE MAKER BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THE NOT SO CLUCH TOM GORDON TO RETURN TO THE 8TH. ________________________________________ IN ORDER TO SHAKE OFF SOME OF THE STINK OF LAST YEAR THE METS REALLY NEED TO GET OUT OF THE GATE QUICKLY. SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT AND SEEM TO HAVE LOST SOME OF THEIR SWAGGER. IF THINGS ARE NOT STRAIGHTENED OUT BY THE ALL STAR BREAK WILLIES JOB COULD VERY WELL BE IN JEOPARDY; ESPECIALLY WITH THE OPENING OF THEIR NEW STADIUM NEXT YEAR. LOSERS DON'T PUT FANNIES IN THE SEATS.____________________________________ IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED WHERE JOSE REYES GOES SO GO THE METS. UNFORTUNATELY SINCE THE END OF LAST YEAR AND THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR JOSE'S ENERGY ENTHUSIASM AND HITS JUST HAVE NOT BEEN THERE. DAVID WRIGHT IS A GREAT CLUTCH HITTER . JOHAN SANTANA WILL PROBABLY WIN 20 GAMES OR MORE IF PADO CAN SUCCESSFULLY COME BACK FROM HIS HAMSTRING IN MAY AND AT LEAST 85% OF WHAT HE USED TO BE. THAT IS QUITE A ONE TWO PUNCH. THEY MUST GET BETTER OUTINGS FROM M. PELFRY. FOR A GUY WELL OVER SIX FEET TALL HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO PRESENSE OR CONFIDENCE ON THE MOUND. AS LONG AS PEREZ AND MANE CAN PITCH TO THEIR TALENT I BELIEVE THE METS STAFF WILL GET A WILD CARD BIRTH.____________________________________ THE BRAVES HAVE FALLEN OFF THEIR PERCH A BIT BUT THEY DO HAVE 3 GOOD STARTERS IN SMOLTZ, HUDSON AND GLAVINE. WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY CAN GET FROM THE OFTEN INJURED MIKE HAMPTON. THEY ARE GOING TO SCORE SOME RUNS WITH TEIXERRA AND CHIPPER JONES IN THE LINE UP , BUT 3RD PLACE DOESN'T MAKE FOR CHAMPAGNE SHOWERS. _________________________________________ THE NATIONALS ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS WITH A BRAND NEW BALL PARK AND A LOT OF GUYS WITH VOLITILE PERSONALITIES. MUCH LIKE THE RAIDERS OF THE NFL. THAT LEAVES THE FLORIDA MARLINS , WHO HAVE TRADED AWAY EVERY PLAYER FROM THE 2003 CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM IN HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. THEY ARE ALSO IN LINE TO FINISH LAST IN ATTENDENCE FOR THE 3RD STRAIGHT YEAR. _________________________________________ I WOULD LIKE THE CUBS TO WIN THE CENTRAL IN WHAT IS A VERY WEAK DIVISION. I LOVE THEIR CRAZY MANAGER . NO WATER COOLER OR FIRST BASE BAG IS EVER SAFE WHEN HE IS RAGING. THEIR STARTING PITCHERS ARE REALLY GOOD AND THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN EACH TIME ONE OF THEIR GUYS STEPS ON THE MOUND. WITH SONIRO , LEE AND RAMIRZ IN THE LINE UP , RUNS WILL BE SCORED IN BUNCHES . THE OUTSTANDING QUESTION IS WHETHER KERRY WOOD CAN ADJUST TO CLOSING. PERSONALLY I THINK HE IS WILL. HE HAS A GOOD LAST NAME AND AND A GREAT , BUT A BIT OVER WORKED ARM AND BY THE 2ND HALF OF THE SEASON I BELIEVE THE 9TH INNING WILL BE A LOCK FOR THE CUBBIES.________________________________ THE DIAMOND BACKS SHOULD RULE THE NL WEST. THEY HAVE PITCHING DEPTH AND QUALITY WITH HAREM AND BRANDON WEBB, RANDY JOHNSON AND RANDY'S BACK WILL BE THE X FACTOR. I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THEY DON'T RETURN TO THE NLCS THIS YEAR. THE DODGERS WILL BE A CLOSE SECOND . THEY HAVE SOME TALENT , BUT HAVE HAD CLUBHOUSE ISSUES WHICH SHOULD BE SOLVED BY THE STEWARDSHIP OF JOE TORRE. HE IS AS MUCH A MANAGER OF PLAYERS' EGOS AS HE IS OF THEIR TALENTS. ________________________________________ OK, NOW YANKEE NEWS. JORGE POSADA IS CURRENTLY SUFFERING FROM A DEAD ARM , BUT HAS REMAINED IN THE LINE UP DUE TO HIS POTENT BAT. ALTHOUGH HE SHOULD BE BACK BEHIND THE PLATE BY THIS WEEKEND. THANKFULLY JETER RETURNED FROM HIS QUAD STRAIN ON THEIR 4/14/08 GAME. IN THAT GAME KENNEDY PITCHED MASTERFULLY, BUT DID NOT GET THE WIN, BECAUSE OF THE BULL PEN . ITS FAR EASIER FOR THESE GUYS TO PITCH IF THEY HAVE A BIT OF A LEAD LIKE THEY DID IN THAT GAME. OTHERWISE THEY START TO AIM THE BALL AND THAT NEVER WORKS OUT FOR ANYONE. NOTE TO JOE GEIRADE , DON'T LET GREAT HITTERS BEAT YOU LIKE MANY DID LAST WEEKEND IN BOSTON; ESPECIALLY WITH 1ST BASE OPEN , IT MAKES A GOOD HITTER LIKE YUKULIS BEAT YOU , OR "YUK" AS THE DRUNKS IN BEANTOWN LIKE TO CALL HIM. THE YANKEES HAD CONSTRUCTION WORKERS DIG DAVID ORTIZ 'S JERSEY OUT OF THE CEMENT FROM THEIR NEW STADIUM. I GUESS SOME IDIOT FROM BOSTON THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO PUT A CURSE ON THE NEW DIGS. ALTHOUGH THE WAY "BIG FATTY" HAS BEEN HITTING I THINK THE CURSE MIGHT HAVE REVERSED. ________________________________________ IN GOLF , SO MUCH FOR ALL THE GRAND SLAM TALK FOR TIGER. HIS PUTTING WAS POOR TO SAY THE LEAST , BUT HE STILL CAME IN SECOND. IMMELMAR WON THE TOURNAMENT WITH AN 8 UNDER PAR. PRETTY GOOD FOR A GUY WHO WAS ON THE OPERATING TABLE JUST MONTHS AGO TO REMOVE A TUMOR FROM HIS RIB CAGE. _________________________________________ ON TO THE TATOOED WORLD OF THE NBA. 4/15/08 WAS THE THE SECOND TO THE LAST NIGHT OF THE REGULAR SEASON. THE CELTICS HAVE ALREADY WRAPPED UP THE EAST. THEY HAVE SET THE BEST TURN AROUND RECORD FOR CONSEQUTIVE SEASONS . THAT OF COURSE WAS DIRECTLY DUE TO THE ADDITION OF KG FROM MINNESOTA. HOWEVER THEY MAY BE DENIED AN APPEARANCE IN THE NBA FINALS BY THE ROUGH AND READY DETROIT PISTONS.
THAT'S IT FOR THE SECOND EDITION OF
WOODY'S SPORTS PAGE. ALL THE WEB STATS SAY I'VE GOT A LOT OF READERS. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST AND I LOOK FORWARD TO ANY OF YOUR COMMENTS. WOODY.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF WOODY'S SPORTS PAGE. I WILL BE DISCUSSING THE PITFALL SO FTHE NFL DRAFT, THE NBA PLAYOFFS AND SOME LOCAL
TEAM TALK._________________________________
OK THE NFL DRAFT IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING AND MAYBE YOUR FAVORITE TEAM NEEDS A SPEEDY WIDE RECEIVER , A QUALITY RUNNING BACK , POSSIBLY AN ALL
IMPORTANT QUARTERBACK AND WHO COULDN'T USE ANOTHER BIG FAST LINEMAN? ASSUMING PLAYERS WHO
WILL BE AVAILABLE HAVE SIMILAR GRADES WHICH POSITION
SHOULD YOU BE MOST INTERESTED IN FILLING WITH YOUR
FIRST ROUND PICK ?__________________________
MANY TEAMS LOVE TO GAMBLE ON THE WIDE RECEIVERS AND OVER THE YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SURE THINGS , BUT CLEARLY THIS POSITION HAS BEEN ONE OF THE HARDEST TO EVALUATE. OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS 43
WR'S HAVE BEEN PICKED IN THE FIRST ROUNDAND ROUGHLY LESS THAN HALF OF THOSE HAVE BECOME SOLID STARTERS. IN FACT , THE WR POSITION HAS MORE FIRST ROUND BUSTS THAN ANY OTHER SPOT. THLIS YEAR ISN'T SHAPING UP TO BE ANY BETTER. THE LEADING WR FROM OKLAHOMA MALCOM KELLY HAS SEEN HIS TOCK DROP DRAMATICALLY DUE TO RUNNING A 4:75 FORTY YARD DASH
WHICH IS THE MEASURING STICK FOR SPEED USED IN THE COMBINES. BY THE WAY WHEN I WAS IN TOP SHAPE, I RAN A 4:99 AND I WAS NO WIDE RECEIVER. TAKING A
QUARTER BACK IS SOMEWHAT SAFER.
_________________________________________OF THE 28 QBS CHOSEN IN THE FIRST ROUND, OVER THE
LAST 10 YEARS, ALMOST SIXTY PERCENT OF THEM HAVE TURNED INTO STARTERS. RUNNING BACKS ARE A TOUGH CALL
AS WELL WITH 30 BEING PICKED SINCE 98 AND ABOUT 55 PERCENT BECOMING STARTERS. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A BIG
UPSIDE TO THE RB EQUATION. IF YOU HAVE MANAGED TO PICK ONE OF THE BACKS, THAT BECOMES A STARTER, YOU HAVE A 66 PERCENT CHANCE OF HIM GOING TO THE PRO
BOWL. THOSE NUMBERS FAR OUT DO ANY OTHER POSITION. THESE COMING NUMBERS NUMBERS FAR OUT DO ANY OTHER POSITION. THE REALLY INTERESTING NUMBERS OF THE 41 LINEMEN OF THE LAST 10 YEARS
90 PERCENT HAVE GONE ON TO BECOME INCREDIBLE STARTERS. ______________________________
ALRIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NBA PLAYOFFS. FIRST
THE EASTERN CONFERENCE WITH BOSTON VS. ATLANTA.
I LIKE BOSTON TO WIN THIS ONE EASY. ATLANTA IS OVERMATCHED AND AS A FRANCHISE HAVE NOT BEEN TO
THE PLAYOFFS IN YEARS. QUICK SERIES WE
HAVE DET. VS PHILLY I BELIEVE PHILLY COULD BE THE UPSET PICK BUT IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE THEM 7 GAMES TO DO IT IN. PLUS DET. IS ABIT OVER RATED.
CLEV. VS. WASH. . I LIKE CLEV. . THEY ARE UP 2-0
ALREADY AND FOR SOME REASON STEVENSON HAS CALLED OUT LEBRAR. BIG MISTAKE CALLING CALLING OUT A SUPERSTAR WHO PLAYS LIKE A SUPERSTAR. THAT LEAVES US WITH TOR.VS. ORL. I LIKE ORLANDO HOWARD , BETTER KNOWN AS "SUPERMAN", LOOKS LIKE HE HAS HIS CAPE ON FOR THIS SERIES. _________________________________________
ON TO THE WEST. LAKERS FACING DENVER, KOBE WILL GET HIS AND THEN SOME . I THINK THE LAKERS GET THIS SERIES EASILY. SPURS VS. SUNS, SPURS WON A GRUELING GAM 1 AND PROBABLY WIN SERIES IN SIX. I JUST DON'T SEE SHAQ. BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF PLAY CONSISTENTLY . DEL. VS. NO. KIDD WILL HAVE DALKS READY TO GO AND IF DIRK TURNS IT UP A NOTCH
I THINK THEY COULD PULL OUT AN UPSET. ________________________________________
ON TO BASEBALL. THE METS HAD A BIG WEEKEND IN PHILLY TAKING 2 OF 3 FROM THEM BUT WERE JUST SPANKED 2 IN A ROW BY THE CUBS. I DON'T WANT TO PUT THEIR WOES ON CARLOS DELGADO BUT FOR A 5 HITTER HE HAS BEEN ABYSIMAL . FHE'S 3 FOR LAST 29 AND HIS FIELDING AND OTHER MORTAL ERRORS HAVE BEEN BRUTAL TO
WATCH. THE REDSONX HAVE BEEN PLAYING WELL WITH MANY RAMEIRZ'S BAT LEADING THE WAY. MANNY IS UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT'S A CONTRACT YEAR ; THAT'S WHY HE HAS BEEN ARGUEING BALLS AND STRIKES, BUT IT'S
REALLY AN OPTION YEAR. NOT TOO BRIGHT BUT A GREAT HITTER. DAVID ORTIZ IS STILL SLUMPING . ________________________________________
AROD OUT , THE 3,4, AND 5 GUYS IN THE ROTATION HAVE NOT BEEN GETTING IT DONE, AND
STEINBRENNER HAS ERUPTED.HE WANTS JOBC IN THE ROTATION, WHICH IS THE DUMBEST THING I'VE EVER
HEARD OF ._________________________
