David Wright The Underrated Future Superstar. New York Mets third baseman David Wright is one of baseball’s next superstars. If you haven’t heard of him, that’s because he plays for the “other” New York team. If he manned the hot corner in the Bronx, all of the Big Apple’s sportswriters would be lauding him, instead of just the people who have to hang out at Shea. If you don’t have him on your fantasy team, you should.
Who Wouldn’t Want To Play Football At USC? Like the most beautiful supermodel in the world, USC picks whom they want, and not the other way around. And that’s the way it should be. I could never figure out how the USC program could ever fall into disrepair. Being a New Jersey, football-obsessed football guy, I always felt that USC was the place to go if you were a hot high school football recruit. Heck, if you were ANY kind of recruit. The weather, the cheerleaders, the school, the girls, Hollywood, the girls, the film school, the girls…you get the idea. Pete Carroll has the best job in all of sports and he is doing a great job at making the job even better. Carroll planned to have USC’s “pro day” on the same day he had all of his potential high school junior recruits visiting…have you ever heard of a more savvy move? What kid wouldn’t want to go there?
If I were a betting man I’d say Pete Carroll and USC will have the top recruiting class in the nation for years to come. And if I were Pete Carroll the only way that I’d leave this job is if I was carried out feet first.
Consecutive Game Hitting Streak. Is Pete Rose’s NL hit streak record of 44 games in jeopardy? Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies got a hit in his last at-bat Wednesday night to keep his hit streak alive at 38 games. If Rollins keeps going and surpasses Rose’s and DiMaggio’s – in case you live in a cave or in Latvia, 56 games – streaks, they will still have the single-season records while Rollins will hold the consecutive games streak, since he would have hit in consecutive games over two seasons.

I still cannot understand why baseball records held by admitted, and busted steriod users are not stricken from the books. It voids all the past acheivments by non-enhanced players.

I hate to see the Duke lacrosse party lumped in with sports news. Just doesn't belong there.

A)You are still a Met "home boy". Don't deny it. David Wright will be in the Yankee infield in a couple of years.
2)I heard Pete Carroll is rumored to be replaced by Richie Kotite very soon. Hot scoop.

Have you ever been to college? Or how about a college party? If you answer yes to the second, I dont think that what went on at the Duke LAX party is much different then any other college party. Outside of the rpe allegations which are at this point ridiculous, it was not.
