Mets-Yankees. Fox Saturday Baseball. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. Rainy day. Sounds like the perfect time for the Bleacher Creatures first ever running diary. We decided to take a page from the Bill Simmons handbook and record our minute-by-minute thoughts about this afternoon’s game. Here’s what transpired.

Tomorrow night’s draft is filled with freshman talent. Most likely the most gifted group of youngsters since ’03. The Last Word takes us through the first round as only he could.

It’s taken me a full day to fully comprehend and understand the Men’s Basketball team that will be heading to Beijing in August. Upon first glance, it didn’t make much sense to me. Going against the world with only three bigs, and just one true Center? Haven’t we learned anything? But upon further review and having delved deeper into the archives over here at the office, I’ve come to the conclusion that this call is still inane and debilitating.

By now you’ve all seen the now infamous tape of Shaq rapping about Kobe (amongst other players) at a NYC night club. It’s a shame when ESPN gets its hands on TMZ.com material and such because you just know that nothing good will ensue.

When you combine the words "dirty" and "Olympics" immediately the notion of steroids and PED’s come to mind. But in the case of the ’08 games in China "dirty" is meant in the most literal of ways. The smog that covers the Beijing air where the world’s greatest athletes will be competing is unfair and unsafe.

It’s not often that we at the Creatures are able to draw comparisons between Pacman Jones and NBC, but his weekend both made a splash by announcing pleads to keep and change their respective images.

It’s been a busy weekend/week in sport that included two love affairs (not really), sports caskets, Pacman’s new image, and a really, really dirty 2008 Olympics makes for an interesting look at the Summer ahead. I’ll break down what’s been going on in three separate pieces, so hold on.

New York Mets manager Willie Randolph sits in the dugout before the
start of the Major League Baseball game against the Florida Marlins at
Shea Stadium in New York. After weeks of speculation that his job was
in jeopardy, Willie Randolph finally got fired by the New York Mets
early Tuesday June 17, while most fans were sleeping. Bench coach Jerry
Manuel takes over on an interim basis. Pitching coach Rick Peterson and
first base coach Tom Nieto also were cut loose.
