In between my Pulitzer Price-worthy sports banter, I’ll be giving you:
GREGGY G'S TOP 3 LADIES OF OLYMPIC HOTNESS
*Obviously it's not fair to have Bia & Branca Feres in the rankings
While some were mad Soriano hurt his leg on his signature-hop, as a media giant, I luv everything about this crazy cat!
The Alfonso-bashers were out in full force after the gum-chomper was once again caught admiring a wall-shot and ended up with a single. Honestly, I’m amazed fans are still appalled at the actions of the Northsiders most dangerous hitter. Since returning from his broken hand 20 games ago, the so-called OF is batting .337 with 6 HRs, 17 Runs, & 17 RBIs. Deal with the antics Cubdom, that’s the price you pay for the most lethal lead-off hitter in MLB…who also rolls with Terrell Owens mantra: “I Love Me Some Me!”
GREGGY G'S #3 OLYMPIC HOTTIE
MARGHERITA GRANBASSI – FENCING - ITALY
Not only is James Blake rockin' a nice lady on his arm, the US Tennis vet just rocked Roger Federer at the Olympics!
Beating the great, but aging like Corey Haim-Roger Federer is a remarkable achievement if you know anything about Blake’s up-n-down journey. Not to mention, it might aid the New Yorker in keeping around a FLAWLESS GIRLFRIEND. Seriously, if I come back in life, just call my JB boyz…and I’m not talking about the NFL studio-host James Brown!
GREGGY G'S #2 OLYMPIC HOTTIE
FATIMA MOREIRA DE MELO – FIELD HOCKEY – DUTCH
While he's struggled at times, hard not to luv the crafty lefty!
Great to see my Southsider vets sharpen their skills on the mound like T.T. Boy roughs-up a trimmed mound. After some inconsistent starts, Buehrle and Vazquez posted back-to-back shut-outs against the AAA Royals, which were desperately needed as the Twinkies keep winning. And even crazier yesterday, Griffey Jr. knocked in his 1st RBI since August 1st and raised his average to .200!
BTW, rumor has it this picture is of Michael Phelps Great Grandma...I knew he had some frickin' Mermaid in him!

And briefly before we hit the #1 hottie (this is what you call a TEASE in da business), I have one more Cub thought for you & an ATS play...
If this stat is true, Rich Harden is more flawless than my favorite 90210 bad-girl!
I heard this stat yesterday, and if it’s true, is the most remarkable pitching stat of all time. In games Harden has received 4 or more runs he is 40 and 0 in his career…I repeat, 40 f*ckin’ Love!
After yesterday's Bean Ball attempt from Hotlanta, I expect to see some extra passion from the Cubbies tonight!
CHICAGO CUBS (-140) @ ATLANTA BRAVES
After a double-header, it’s always a dangerous play to take the road-team the following day, but considering the drama late in Game 2 with Atlanta throwing at Soriano in the ninth, I have a feeling we’ll see a riled-up Cub squad looking for a sweep. In addition, Piniella’s bats will be facing old-timer Tom Glavine (2-3, 4.85) making his first start since June 10…when he was shelled in Wrigley (3 innings, 6 hits, 4 ER, 4 BBs). Not to mention Atlanta’s pen is more roughed-up than Belladonna in My Azz is Haunted after giving-up 18 runs on Hump Day. As for Cubs hurler Ted Lilly (11-6, 4.26), they’ve won the last 4 games he’s started, and the southpaw is sporting a solid 2.75 ERA over his last 5 starts overall. Also, the only dangerous hitter left in the Grandpa Cox’s line-up, Chipper Jones, was scratched from Game 2 yesterday because of a stomach virus. I’m guessing this one is as lopsided as the last two, and considering the Cubs only have to make a short trip to Florida tonight, they won’t be thinking about a long flight back home…
Cubs by 3-5 runs
