Well...just two days left, and there are so many scratches lately!
Ignacio, Odriozola, Gino and Gallardo. I'll be going on Friday
and Saturday nights, and I'll give a report. I'm going to miss
the live jai alai...it's really been fun, especially in the late
games!
Now...word is (from what I heard, but mind you...just what
I heard!) that Gallardo has already left for Miami, and I believe
it as well, though can't say for sure. It's just as well, because
he's given up anyway, for the past month or more. In fact, he's
won just 1 game in his last almost 70 games played! I've never
seen a player throw in the towel so fast. Only way to describe
it, is pathetic effort. And you know what? I had huge respect
for his game and his finesse, and what he accomplished last season,
but after this season, never again will I feel that way. I wish
some of you could see what he's done, intentionally, of late.
Now I know he'll get back in the groove at Miami, simply because
he has no choice, but to see him just throw ball after ball too
high, on the wood, or to the floor on go for broke whatever has
been pure junk. He's been a virtual leave out in any game, and
it's made it easier to win 
He is not injured. He just does not care.
On the flip side, MUCHO to Marku for dramatic improvement!
He plays so hard in every point...and it's been nice seeing him
win a number of games the past month. CONGRATS!
Thank goodness for the great frontcourters we have here in
Barronio, Olabe, Aperri, and the breakout year for Laurent! I'd
have to say, my overall favorite is Olabe. On his worst day, he
wins a game or two, and his singles play has just been SIZZLING
lately! Aperri is having his most consistent and strong season
ever, and so is Laurent.
Elizalde is going to run away with backcourt wins, now that
Odriozola is scratched, though Tommy is close behind, Tommy has
really fallen off his forehand, and now he throws it has a half
forehand (injury perhaps?) His left side is still strong, though.
Gino made a huge surge, but is also scratched of late.
More to come on Friday and Saturday!
