Can't think of much to write about today...

Boxing was mediocre this weekend. Two guys basically got whupped into retirement on HBO, and ESPN had a fairly dull card on Friday night. Jermaine Taylor kicked the crap out of Raul Marquez in a fight marred by more clinches than a soap opera, and Marco Antonio Barrera attempted to show he was over getting whipped by Manny Pacquaio by pummelling Paulie Ayala to a TKO. Barerra would like a rematch with Pacquaio, but he's gonna have to wait until after the Marquez rematch. Interesting thing said by Larry Merchant during the pregame show for Taylor's match. He called both Bernard Hopkins and De La Hoya "mediocre" and said that Taylor might be a legitimate contender post Hopkins/De La Hoya. I hadn't really thought of Hopkins' fight against Robert Allen as mediocre except for the fact that they'd already fought twice and Hopkins was maybe bored by the whole thing.

Taylor and Felix Sturm, now that'd be a good match.

Yanks dropped two out of three at Chavez Ravine in their first visit to L.A. since the '81 series. Not that big a deal except that Contreras looked like shit again. He has one bad inning, and it kills the Yankees. Matsui had a homer off of Hideo Nomo on Saturday. They're still up on the Sox by 4 1/2, so that's fine.

Raw tonight is promising HHH vs. Eugene, and as they're in South Florida, don't be surprised to see The Rock appear.

More later, if I think of something more interesting.
