In the off-season of 2003 Vlad Guerrero was a free-agent. He was not able to be re-signed by the Expos because of their money problems and was a risk to many MLB teams. He had a back injury that year and some general managers were skeptical about his durability. Little did they know, the best is yet to come.

For those of you that watched the Preakness, you probably weren’t unsatisfied after watching that one. The race was close the whole way through keeping most people at the edge of their seats. Then at the last turn Afleet Alex, who was making his move, stumbled and gave a lot of bet holders a scare. Miraculously, Afleet Alex recovered himself and went past Scrappy T to win the Preakness. The Belmont Stakes may not have as many contenders, but is still shaping up to be a great race.
For the past few years, tennis has not gotten much attention and rightfully so. There hasn’t been the Pete Sampras or Andre Agassi matches that invigorated even the not-so-big tennis fan. I remember one of the last really good matches I saw was the Sampras-Agassi US Open final. Since then I haven’t seen a tennis match that glued me to my chair.

As most of you know, the Kentucky Derby was no wire to wire race. It was neck and neck coming down the backstretch and one of the most exciting Kentucky Derbies I have seen in the past five years or maybe even more. This year at Pimilico I expect it to be close like the Kentucky Derby seeing as how there is really no horse that stands out to me.
