BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK Sports SHORTS....RANGERS Back to FALL CLASSIC....REDBIRDS one WIN away...WHOSE Fault is it anyway?...NBA Owners or Players

The BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK Sports SHORTS for October 16, 2011......


The TEXAS RANGERS again flex their MUSCLES as their are BACK to BACK Junior Circuit CHAMPIONS as they HAMMER the Detroit TIGERS 15 -5.

RANGERS OF Nelson CRUZ hits his 6th HR of the series to give him a MLB Postseason Record for the LONG BALL. The TIGERS didn't have it tonight but before tonight it was a NIP and TUCK Series with both teams getting timely Pitching and Hitting.

Now the RANGERS set back and wait to see who wins that SENOIR Circuit Matchup between the BREW CREW and the REDBIRDS. The CARDS lead 3-2 as they will play Game 6 back in BEER TOWN.

The REDBIRDS definately have the momentum and the Starting Pitching has also played in their favor. The SERIES has come down to BREW CREW's Bis 2 in PRINCE and BRAUN to the REDBIRDS Big 3 in PUJOLS, HOLLIDAY, and BERKMAN.

CARDS have RHP Edwin JACKSON going and the BREW CREW has RHP Shaun MARCUM going for them. And if the SERIES gets to 7...the REDBIRDS will throw RHP Chris CARPENTER and the BREWERS will have RHP Yovani GALLARDO.

Look for the BREWERS to try to fed off that home cooking and try to JUMP START that Offense as the CARDS are going for CLOSEOUT and a Trip to the FALL CLASSIC.

What's amazing about the REDBIRDS Run is they are running on all cylinders after they get the Spring Training News of the loss of RHP Adam WAINRIGHT. He and CARPENTER were the CO-Aces of the REDBIRDS Staff and the BLUEDUDE thought they had no shot...REAL TALK. They haven't WON yet...but hats off to SKIPPER LaRUSSA and his Staff as well as the REDBIRDS Upstairs calling the shots.

The NBA Season is still in limbo and now we have a FEDERAL Mediator in the mix to go along with all this MEDIA TALK back and forth from the PLAYERS.

Kevin DURANT was quoted as saying, " The OWNERS have to meet us half way". Has anyone out there heard the OWNERS side of the STORY yet...or are they going by simply......"SHOW ME THE MONEY".

The Basketball Related Income is still at 57% Players to 43% Owners. The PLAYERS just as early as a week ago dropped down to 54% to 46% giving the owners 3% more. The OWNERS have been saying that they want a MAJORITY Share or to flip that number of 57% to the OWNERS and 43% to the PLAYERS. Last time I looked that is not good bargaining from the OWNERS and in the back alley a good old DONNY BROOK would go down.....someone call FIVE-O.

Put SIMPLY let's go 50% - 50% OR 51%Players and 49% Owners and call it a day. It won't happen but with the SEASON in jeopardy and GAMES already canceled to BIRD DAY......something has to give. look for a deal to get done by HALLOWEEN and the SEASON starts by December 1st.

Getting back to WHOSE FAULT is it anyway?...NEITHER..just get a FAIR DEAL done o everyone collectively can save face...can't have a whole season canceled and have 20 Teams left..the BULLS would then catch the LAKESHOW and GREEN TEAM for most CHAMPIONSHIPS ever as the BULLS would run off 9 in a row......REAL TALK
