Summary of the Day: July 24, 2006
Shawn Marion has pulled out of the competition for the U.S. National Team yesterday, with the final roster to be revealed today. According to ESPN’s Andy Katz, it looks like the final fifteen has pretty much been decided upon. The last two cuts should be Charlotte Bobcats forward Adam Morrison and Seattle Supersonics point guard Luke Ridnour. This roster, to be later trimmed to twelve, will be the team that travels to Asia to represent the United States in the FIBA World Championships Aug. 19-Sept. 3 in Saitama, Japan.
It looks like the World Champion Chicago White Sox are the leading candidate to acquire Washington Nationals Leftfielder/Second Baseman Alfonso Soriano. This trade would further bolster a lineup that already leads the majors in runs scored and home runs. Apparently, the Sox feel that with no quality pitching available, they might as well get more bashers, because ultimately the team that has scored the most runs in a game wins, and if you can not find new ways to keep your opponent from scoring then you might as well just score more yourself.
Pro Bowl Cornerback Ty Law has decided to follow his coach from last year to the Kansas City Chiefs. Herm Edwards departed the New York Jets earlier this off season to take over the head coaching job with the Chiefs and Law has followed suit. While Edwards departed due to the struggles of a terrible Jets team, Law has always been about money and the Chiefs offered him the most cash. Rumors were that it was between the New England Patriots and Kansas City for his services. The Pats bring the better chance for another Championship while the Chiefs offered the greater financial reward. This just shows you where Law’s loyalties lie.
