Reeling Rockies: Playoff Bound or Playoff Bounced?
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Nick Tremaroli in MLB
There are certain things in a team that will make a fan nervous or cause them to go crazy.
Right now, the Rockies are causing their fans to become very nervous.
At this point last week, the Rockies had a very comfortable 4.5 game lead over the Giants in the NL Wild Card race. Now? It's only a 2.5 game lead over the surging Braves still with seven games to play.
The Braves ...

Eddie DeBartolo Jr. Will Never Be Forgotten
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Glenn Franco Simmons in NFL
One of the nicest moments as a 49ers fan occurred at halftime on a scorching hot day at Candlestick on Sept. 20.
That's when Eddie DeBartolo Jr. was the first 49er to be inducted into the Eddie De Bartolo Sr. Hall of Fame.
When DeBartolo Jr. was introduced, the 49er Faithful chanted "Ed-Dee," "Ed-Dee."
We only became quiet out of respect for DeBartolo Jr.; otherwise, we would have chanted this great man's name ...
The National League Cy Young Award and the Power of the Repeat
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Andrew Nuschler in MLB
Depending on what the top three candidates do in their final starts of 2009, the National League Cy Young announcement could be one of the most acrimonious days in recent Major League Baseball history.
If current trends hold, the voters will be hard-pressed to find much solid differential amongst the three primary candidates and that means die-hard fans in St. Louis or San Francisco will be taking to the cyber/airwaves with ...
If the Dallas Cowboys Lose to 0-2 Carolina Panthers on Monday Night…
Posted: 27th September 2009 by TexasCowboy in NFL
Then I say pack up the tents and call it a season...think I am joking? There is no smile to my face that would indicate I am joking. This is as serious as it gets. Last week's game was the ultimate let down if you are a Cowboys fan.
Three turnovers, one fluke, NO sacks, and a secondary that should be renamed burnt toast. If this is what we are in ...

Minnesota Twins Look for Sweep; Zach Greinke Looks To Stop Them
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Dan Wade in MLB
The Twins walked past Robinson Tejada in game one and battered Lenny DiNardo in game two of their three-game set with the Royals.
Game three, however, might not be so easy.
This was almost an irrelevant game; had the White Sox kept their five-run lead intact last night, the Twins would have been one game behind instead of two, meaning the worst case scenario has the Twins down two games heading ...
Yu Darvish: Are the Yankees in Pursuit of Him?
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Christopher Chavez in MLB
Baseball has been America's national sport and pastime for a very long time. In recent years, Japan has come along and adopted the American sport like its own national sport and pastime.
Except for the fact that in Japan, baseball players are glorified like celebrities. That could explain why Japanese sensation Yu Darvish is treated like a god in Japan.
Could the Japanese sensation be the next big star in ...
Football Mythbusters: Romo, Manning Not Ready for Big-Time
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Hank K. in NFL
MYTH: I couldnÆt find a quote this week to disagree with. Instead, IÆm going to address the general consensus that the Giants belong at the top of everybodyÆs ôPower Rankingsö this week.
FACTS: The Giants beat the Cowboys, but didnÆt look like a Super Bowl team in the process. Instead, they almost played down to the level of the Cowboys on Sunday night.
Before I receive a thousand comments saying that the ...
As the Blue Jays take the field for the last time at Rogers Center, the debate by experts, fans, and management will all center around if 2009 was a success.
This yearÆs Blue Jays were not supposed to have a good year, and they did not. They are more than 20 games out of a playoff spot, and will probably finish 12-15 games below .500.
In terms of a competitive season, this ...
