Tebow The Baseball Player?

One of the biggest problems in our lives is deciding it is time to Hang'em up.  Tim Tebow has not played baseball since high school.  Now that for sure his football career is over there are rumors being circulated by his agent that he is looking for a MLB baseball team to try him in baseball.

The last time he played baseball was in high school and I believe he signed a schlorship to play football not baseball.  It has to be his agent is just trying to keep his name in the public eye or it is another athlete that is having a hard time with life without sports.  Seems to me he could make a good   living  being a Christian speaker unless in the recent he has back sliden.

Friday is the last day in the career Alex Rodriguez.  I don't know if I want to celebrate the end of one of the greatest cheaters of all time or not.  Whether PED's extended his career or not there is that point in time that you body just cannot produce the way it use too.  I guess one of the great questions of all sports times is why would any team pay a player over thirty years old a huge sum of money for ten years. You are expecting that player to preform at a high level in the late thirties or early forties.  No player will play to the worth of their contract.

If you can't get  excited by the Olympics you just plain are not American or like sports at all.  Watching Michael Phelps the old man of the Olympics  with all those cupping rings on his body and his closest competition trying to stare him down.

There has probably been no more emotional moment than when NC State swimmer Ryan  Held became  overwhelmed on the gold metal stand when he started crying with joy over realizing a dream
  That he had worked for his life was completed.

If you haven't seen the Gryphon Football team in practice so far this year they will be scrimmaging at home Thursday night starting at 6pm.

Last night Brian Goodwin got his second at bat in the major leagues at he pitched hit in the 7th inning and he struck out.  He played the last three innings of his first day in the majors and batted once and hit a fly ball.  He never got off the bench in the Sunday game.  The Nationsls had a day off Monday and Brian started on the bench Tuesday before the pitch hit.

Both Sunday and again Tuesday the Nationals started a player in centerfield and one in right field both are hitting 210.  Now as a fan that would like to see Brian get his chance while he is up in the majors for the so called cup of coffee before they send him back to Syracuse I have to ask.  If he earned the right to get his change to get called up why don't you find out what he can do.  Surely you already have two players in the lineup that have proven that you have to get somebody better.

Last year when Trea Turner got called up in September he went 0-10 before he got his first hit and look at him now.  Give him a chance before you send him back down.  Give him a chance on the field in a complete game to get use to what it feels like to play a major league game.
