Roddick vs. Tennis Jesus

Too bad this friggin match will be shown at sometime around 3 am cause boy do I enjoy the whooping Federer usually brings when he plays Roddick as he has won 13 of 15 career matches against Roddick including a 9 match winning streak which ended 10 days ago a the site of an exhibition final, so I'm not really sure that counts.

Here are some other stats to throw out there:

~Federer hasn't lost to anyone not named Nadal in a Grand Slam 2 years ago to the round when he lost to Safin in a thrilling semifnal match in the 2005 Aussie Open.

~Roddick is 2-9 versus top ten players in his Grand Slam career, picking up his second win earlier this tourny.

~Federer has beaten Roddick in 6 tournament finals losing only two sets, one in their first Wimbledon meeting the other coming in last years US Open Final.

Roddick actually has looked pretty damn good so far this tournament and if he plays like he has been this week he has a chance, but he always chokes when he faces Federer, and then Federer abuses him for an hour, I would expect more of the same tonight.

Anyway, no one really cares about tennis except me. Unless they played matches to the death on the helipad court, then I think people would be interested.

Well, You Are So Right about the timing but I am going to watch it even @3am. I am for Roddick but only in my mind. By heart, I am for Roger even though he is not an American. Rog has built the image of being unbeatable through his love for the GAME and his abilities to deliver his will. This passion and genius of the GAME makes him loveable. He is just a virtuouso, and I love it. G-d Bless him, and I still would like our Andy to challenge him. At least, Andy will grow spiritually because technically and physically he is OK

Imagine headin to the bar, pulling up a stool, and ordering a pint... then having to listen to that guy talk about how beautiful Andy Roddick's soul is.

No thanks. I'll stick to football and baseball.

I'm not sure how spiritually you grow after you get your ass handed to you.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
