The Celtics Lock up the Best Point Guard for the Celtics

November 3, 2009 - Rajon Rondo, you can relax. No more contract extension talks distracting you at practice. No more wondering what restricted free agency is going to be like. No more asking yourself after every game “Will they be my team next year?” On Monday, Danny Ainge put away his fangs, picked up his pen and inked Rajon Rondo to a [read more...]

Mike Williams Quits, Leaving Syracuse Offense in the Dust

November 2, 2009-- Earlier today Syracuse’s top wideout, and arguably their best athlete and offensive threat, made his way into Doug Marrone's office. Junior Mike Williams told his coach he was quitting the team. As of yet, the reason for this decision hasn't been made public. Williams had never been the best student, and rumors suggest that his declining grades [read more...]

Red Sox Used a Steroid Doctor? Now That Makes Sense.

Lou Merloni let this bomb fly over the weekend: Back when we was with the team (though he doesn't remember what year) a doctor addressed the team about steroids and how to use them. Or perhaps how to not abuse them. Some people may see this as Boston's promotion of steroid use or complacency with the problem. In reality, it's just [read more...]

Pats thinking about ILBs, Jason Taylor

The Pats are thin at inside linebacker. Right now they're only returning starters Jerod Mayo and Tedy Bruschi and backup Gary Guyton. They drafted Tyrone McKenzie with the 97th overall pick in the 3rd round with plans to immediately work him into the rotation and eventually take over for the aging Bruschi. But that plan got put on hold when [read more...]

Jason Campbell’s Rude Introduction to the Real Dan Snyder

"It definitely was a shock," Campbell said, "when I started hearing Sanchez talk." This talk coming only a few weeks after the Skins lost out on the Jay Cutler sweepstakes to the Bears. Really? This chocked Campbell? He's not exactly Peyton Manning. Or Tom Brady. Or Drew Brees. Last time I checked, he wasn't even close to being in the same [read more...]

Hard Prince Liner Hits Hamels, Hamels Heads Home Early

APRIL 23, 2009-- During the 4th inning of today's Brewers-Phillies day game, Cole Hamels's afternoon was ended prematurely after being scorched by a line drive from Prince Fielder. Prince hit Hamels square in his pitching arm, and Philly coaches wasted no time removing their young ace from the game. J.A. Capp came in and was given as much time as [read more...]

Texas Rangers Stage Impromptu “Wear Someone Else’s Uniform” Day

A strange ocurrance just took place in the 11th inning of the Rangers-Blue Jays game. The Rangers made the bullpen call for newly acquired Darren O'Day, but it was Kason Gabbard who appeared on the mound. Upon further review, it was just Gabbard's uniform. Darren O'Day had been claimed less than 24 hours earlier from the Mets, and the Rangers hadn't had [read more...]

Red Sox Go Green for Earth Day

For the nightcap of their day-night double header, the Red Sox broke out their St. Patrick's Day uniforms as a tribute to Earth Day. The uniforms have a recycling patch on one sleeve and a clover on the other. Hats are green, as are the Red Sox logo across the chest and numbers on the back. And, since they've been [read more...]

Angle of Seats Turns New Yankee Stadium into a Wind Tunnel

4 games into the season and the Yankees' new $1.5 billion dream house has a fatal flaw. The 20 dingers hit in the stadium's first 4 games are by far the most ever in any new ballpark's first 4 games. Including 2 preseason games, 27 homers have been hit in 6 games at the new park. Even after a series [read more...]

Unclogging the Minnesota Outfield

April 17, 2009-- The Twins entered 2009 with a packed outfield. Now that the season is underway, here's a look at how each of their potential outfielders are starting off the 2009 campaign and what to expect going forward. The stats are for all games through April 16th. Denard Span - 2009 stats: 12-for-41, 4 R, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 3 [read more...]
