Summary of the Day: July 6, 2006
Nomar Garciaparra and A.J. Pierzynski won the balloting for the final All-Stars in each league. Well, at least the fans got one of them right. Both Travis Hafner and Francisco Liriano would have been better selections for the American League. Hopefully, both will be added due to injuries.
The Tour de France has completed five stages. I am just not sure the United States cares since Lance Armstrong is not participating.
The Boston Red Sox managed to win one gmae of their four game series with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. It is only early July, we have not even reached the All-Star break, but Tampa Bay is already making their presence felt in the division race. It should still only be a couple of years before they are a participant rather than a spoiler.
The NBA Summer Leagues kicked off yesterday, starting with the Vegas Summer League. Click here to check on your favorite teams and/or players.
A judge has ruled that the Atlanta Spirit, the group that owns the Atlanta Hawks and Thrashers, can only sign players to contracts of one year (previously negotiated and agreed upon deals are not included). Atlanta Spirit is in the process of appealing a ruling that gives their former partner, Steve Belkin, the right to buy out his former partners after they violated terms of the ownership agreement in removing him. I do not know much about the Thrashers, but I know the Hawks do not need any more issues. With the right ownership in place, they are on the brink of being a serious player in the Eastern Conference.
