Headlines for 18 June 08

Coach here. Before I get to today's headlines, make sure you hop on over to YouTube to check out the newest episode of "Hey Coach Havana". Now, onto the headlines.

The Celtics won the NBA Finals last night. I'd say this is great, but weren't they the preseason pick to win it all? Sure, memories of Bird and Magic made this series tolerable, but beyond that, it wasn't really exciting.

Tiger Woods is hanging it up for the year to get surgery. Man, this takes balls. He knew he needed the surgery, but he wanted to win the US Open. Not only did he win, but he played an extra 19 holes on the bum leg. His loins must be overflowing with manliness.

A Georgia high school baseball team made the news, however, it slid under my radar, so I'm a little late to the party. On May 31, Stephens County was losing the Class AAA championship to Cartersville 9-1 in the 4th inning. Sick of all the "bad calls" that were happening, the pitcher threw a high fastball. The catcher moved his mitt at the last second, allowing the ball to strike the umpire in the mask. If anyone knows these kids, send them my way. I'll buy them dinner. Umps and refs feel like they're above the players. Let this be a lesson that they aren't.

That's all the time for today. GET SOME BALLS!!!
