Florida Marlins Go from Spoiled Fish to Big-Game Hunters
Posted: 25th September 2009 by Leslie Monteiro in MLB
We keep waiting for the Marlins to fade away in the wild-card race. How many times have we written them off this season?
Yet with one week to go, the Marlins trail the Rockies by four games in that race heading to the weekend. It's still a large deficit with a week to go, but the Marlins are playing for something unlike most teams.
It's been awhile since the Marlins participate in ...
Felix Hernandez 17-5, 2.49 ERA should be considered a AL Cy Young Award candidate as the 23 year old Mariners hurler has the second most wins and the second best ERA in the AL.
AL East: The Red Sox closed to within five and-a-half games of the Yankees with a magic number of five. The two teams meet head to head in Yankee Stadium tonight. A Yankee win would stretch their ...
Well, ironically, maybe he would have a chance with the Kansas City Royals.
Zack Greinke didnÆt really impress me last night. He pitched well and maybe I caught him on a bad night, but to me he didnÆt seem dominant. Greinke has may have the lowest ERA in the AL since Pedro Martinez in 2000, but he doesnÆt strike me as the dominant force that Pedro was during his statistical peak. ...
So far the season has gone as expected, we all knew the Lions would most likely get killed by the Saints high powered offense but we actually held up better than Philly did.
Sure Mcnabb was hurt, BUT WERE THE LIONS! I think that trumps any silly rib injury. In week two we all knew we had a shot against the Vikings because have played them tough in our last few ...
We are now less than a month away from the start of the 2009-10 NHL regular season, and I think it's a great time to start publishing my fantasy preview articles for each NHL team.
When looking at a player and predicting how he will fare offensively this season, there are many things to consider: Is the player at an age where he will improve or decline? Is he playing with ...
Lately (before my computer crashed last week, rendering my Internet time scarce; sorry for the recent lack of material), I have been doing comprehensive evaluations of A's players to see where they are in their careers and what to expect from them in 2010 and beyond.
The first two evaluations were of pitchersùDallas Braden and Josh Outmanùso this time, I'm switching gears and looking at the player who has seemingly all ...
Miami at San Diego: Five Keys to a Chargers Victory
Posted: 25th September 2009 by William Risser in NFL
Like last week's game, the Chargers face an AFC playoff team looking to establish themselves in the conference pecking order. Only this time, the 'Bolts face a desperate Miami Dolphins team looking to get their first win.
Miami features a running attack that will be a tough matchup for the San Diego defense. On offense, the Chargers will continue to rely on the NFL's bestápassing game in the league at 330 ...
Philadelphia Flyers Considering Waiving Randy Jones
Posted: 25th September 2009 by Tom Dougherty in NHL
Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly.com is reporting that the Flyers are seriously considering waiving blue liner Randy Jones at some point this weekend, and are expected to offer Blair Betts a contract.
Jones has had far from an impressive training camp, and didn't stand out in the Flyers 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils. Of course, he has been recovering from offseason hip surgery, but regardless he hasn't showed that he ...
Two weeks of NFL action are already in the books and what a start to the season we have had. There are surprise teams like the undefeated New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers. There have been some huge individual fantasy performances from Chris Johnson, Frank Gore, Adrian Peterson, Drew Brees, and the Philadelphia Eagles D/ST, among others. Unfortunately, during the first two weeks of football, we have also seen ...
Week two has come and gone and needless to say, I am a bit irritated. While I have started out 2-0 in a handful of leagues, in two of my important leagues, I am sitting at 0-2. And, in one of them, if I had played the right matchups, IÆd be sitting at 2-0 there too.
But, that is neither here nor there. Rather, I have a few shout outs that ...
