Minnesota Twins-Detroit Tigers: Pennant Chase Preview
Posted: 28th September 2009 by Zac Snyder in MLB
After nearly six months of play, the grind that is the Major League Baseball schedule has reached the final week.
Baseball schedulers couldn't have planned it any better as the final week kicks off with a four-game set between the first place Detroit Tigers and the second place Minnesota Twins.
The Tigers can wrap up their first division title since 1987 by taking three of four. The only way the Twins can ...

QuarterbacksMatt Ryan and Kurt Warner are most difficult to replace. McNabb is also on bye, but youÆve already had to deal with that. Jake Delhomme wonÆt leave fantasy teams scrambling.

Solid Alternatives:Mark SanchezùRookie will have to air it out to keep up with New Orleans.Trent ...
Okay, seriously guys, what the f*ck?
This is a joke, right? I mean really? We let a team win 19-14 when they haven't won a game in 19 tries in our head coach's 19th game?
Ha, ok guys, you can put the new score on the board now: 73-0 Redskins. You guys really had me fooled. LOL :P
Okay, so this is totally uncool. I, like many of you, am trying to figure ...

On the pages of this very website you will find a writer who has held a funeral service for the loss of the midrange jump-shot. His eulogy is compelling, and he calls on many players for words of condolence.
The only thing is, he's wrongùdead wrong. So before we close the casket and kick the dirt in, I think that a few things need to be discussed. Maybe afterwards we can ...
Dwight Freeney Injury Update: Status Uncertain After Injuring Right Quad

Two weeks in a row I have idiotically picked against the Indianapolis Colts. And two weeks in a row the Colts have made me look like an idiot.
After dismantling Miami in the DolphinsÆhome opener last Monday nightùdespite having the ball on offense for less than 15 minutesùthe Colts took the Arizona Cardinals to the woodshed last night on Sunday Night Football, winning 31-10.
The win could come with a price, ...
The Giants defeated Tampa Bay as coolly, methodically and nonchalantly as John Phillips commits incest. Tampa Bay was no match for Big Blue as the Buccaneersáplayed like they were wearing eyepatches and had peg legs and hooks for hands (though that might come in handy on defense). Bucs coach Raheem Morris summed it up best: ôWe were beat by grown men, a team we want to be like one day. ...

It is Fall in Wisconsin. A little cold for many Americans living in warmer states, but a beautiful season in America's Dairyland nonetheless.
The leafs are starting to feature bright yellow and orange colors that highly contrast the gloomy skies. The state is prepared for another long and cold winter season and the expectation for the first sunbeams of Spring is already jammed in people's hearts.
Similar to the majority of state ...

My weekly take on the Tigers, also known simply and affectionately as ôMMM.ö
Week of 9/21-27: 4-2
This week: 9/28-10/1: MIN; 10/2-4: CWS
Goat of the Week
Curtis Granderson.
MMM has been riding Grandy all year long, and with good reason. This is easily his worst season, statistically, of his four full big league campaigns. Ironically, it was also the first season in which he became an All-Star.
It was hoped that MMMÆs venomous words would ...
