Hello Again, Readers Forgive me for the delay between this post and our last, but we are currently in the process of re-designing this blog and moving it to a different platform with the hopes of reaching a wider audience (more info coming soon). Anyway you probably have no idea who the man to my…

Who Runs the Lake Show?

There’s no doubt about it, Kobe Bryant is the best player on the Lakers, if not in the entire NBA. He is the floor general. Between the baselines, he runs everything. If he wants to score, he scores. If he wants to pass, he passes. I have no problem with this whatsoever, but who runs…

Does Baseball Need New Rules?

Last night, in the 12th inning of a game against the Florida Marlins, the above gruesome incident occurred. Let me set the scene for those of you who haven’t seen it. Top of the 12th inning, Marlins with a the lead run on third base (Scott Cousins, OF), and Emilio Bonafacio at the plate. Bonafacio…

Fred Wilpon, Everybody…

I don’t know either, Fred. The Mets, and owner Fred Wilpon (above), have once again made the news for something other than their sub-.500 record (zing!) This week, they were publicly lambasted in the press. I know you’re saying, what’s new? Well, this time, the critic was their very owner! Old Fred was asked about…

10 Things That Should Happen at Macho Man’s Funeral

I know this is supposed to be a blog strictly about sports, but professional wrestlers are athletes, professional wrestling is known as sports entertainment, and you gotta love Randy “Macho Man” Savage. I was legitimately saddened by the passing of “The Madness” today. Apparently, the 58 year old former WWF (yes, WWF) and WCW superstar…

If I had to write a caption for the above picture, without knowing anything about the game situation during which it was taken, I’d probably still go with… “Uhh… You guys are dicks.” That confused young man in the photo is Kansas City Royals relief pitcher, and New Jersey native, Vin Mazzaro. Vinny from Jersey…

You Win, José Bautista

Ok, friends. I know when I’m bested. I know when i should keep up the good fight and I know when to tuck my tail between my legs and give up. José Bautista, you have beaten my spirit of disbelief. You are not a fluke. I believe in “Joey Bats.”

The Posada Incident

Because I’m a sports fan and, more specifically, a Yankees fan, I feel the need to weigh in on this issue. It is hard, however, to find something that no one has yet said about it. For those of you who don’t know the situation, here’s a quick review.

What to Do About: Slow Starts

There he is, folks. The phenom known as Pedro “El Toro” Alvarez of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He is also my fantasy third baseman. I picked him in the hopes that he would build off of his solid rookie campaign (he hit .256 with 16 homers and 64 RBI in 95 games), and also continue to…

Fantasy Shockers: Really, Lance Berkman?

Ok, I’m all for redemption stories, as can be seen by my posts about Bartolo Colón, Russell Branyan and Freddy Garcia. What I don’t like, is when i say that a player is all washed up and finished… and he hits nearly .400 in the first 5 weeks of the season.
