Ouch. This one hurts.
The Colorado Rockies blew a 3-0 lead over the Padres, losing 5-4. It was just the sixth time in 2009 that the Rockies lost a game at Coors Field in which they scored first.
After a three-run home run in the first inning off the bat of Troy Tulowitzki, the bats went silent, but that by no means was the reason that the Rockies ended up ...
Best Pro Football Players in Mississippi History, Part Eight: DB’s
Posted: 24th September 2009 by Bryan Flynn in NFL
After some time off for various reasons letÆs go back to the finish off the ôGreatest Pro Football Players in Mississippi History.ö We have seen offensively that Mississippi has had some of the best players to ever play on that side of the ball.
Defensively, we have seen great defensive linemen and linebackers. The last part of the defense we will examine is the secondary.
The Magnolia State has produced hall of ...
NFL PicksùWeek Three: Not Sure about That Indy-AZ Game
Posted: 24th September 2009 by Amy Lamare in NFL
Hey Football Fiends!
I am so not sure what to do about the Indianapolis-Arizona game. Not sure at all. As of the moment of writing this post, IÆm going with AZ. However, I MAY change my mind before game time. ItÆs only fair to let you know. My Pick Em league lets me change my pick up to five minutes before the start of the game. If I do change my ...
Patriot Games: Is New England’s Most Important Weapon Wes Welker or Randy Moss?
Posted: 24th September 2009 by Tim Jackson in NFL
Since 2007, whether the title has been warranted or not, the New England Patriots offense has been declared one of, if not the, most prolific offensive units in the NFL.
And ever since the recognition came about, Patriots fans and others alike have always asked the question: Who's more important to the offense, Randy Moss, the prolific deep threat, or Wes Welker, the under-appreciated slot man that can turn a five-yard ...
Orlando Cabrera Randomly Hitting His Way into the Record Books
Posted: 24th September 2009 by Jake Rake in MLB
With 10 sacrifice flies on the season heading into ThursdayÆs games, Twins shortstop Orlando Cabrera is tied with some guy named Marlon Byrd for the American League lead in that category.
If you are on the verge ofágiving up on this column, I donÆt blame you, as sacrifice flies are about the 258,000th most interesting metric in baseball.
However, what makes CabreraÆs prowess in hitting fly balls when a runner happens to ...
Recently, I have been trying to re-build my fantasy hockey team, but have found limited resources. For baseball, I usually rely on Project Prospect, which wonderfully outlines all of the top talent in the Majors. Please visit the site for in-depth analysis on the gameÆs future. I will attempt to build a similar list as their Top 25 Under 25, except for hockey.
As opposed to Project Prospect, who uses the ...
Red Sox-Royals: Boston’s Magic Number Down to Three with Win Over Kansas City
Posted: 24th September 2009 by Amanda Bruno in MLB
Is it time to be really excited yet?
Clay Buchholz went 6 2/3 innings and allowed no runs on five hits with eight strikeouts as the Boston Red Sox split a four-game series with the Kansas City Royals with a 10-3 win Thursday night.
The combination of a Red Sox win and Texas Rangers loss to the Oakland Athletics drops the magic number to clinch the American League Wild Card to three ...
It was about a year ago that I first learned about Twitter and started my own personal Twitter account (dhprguy). At the time I was working for a public relations firm and it was pretty obvious that gaining an understanding of the power of social networks was essential for people in the public relations field. As a networking tool, IÆm still not sold on Twitter. Most of the people ...
Ted Thompson and Packers Flying With No Safety Net
Posted: 24th September 2009 by Peter Bukowski in NFL
The best lesson I learned on the golf course was never let one mistake turn into two. Time for Ted Thompson to learn his lesson.
Many fans bristled to find out the Packers had kept Jarrett Bush over a more experienced play maker in Anthony Smith, who was shining in the preseason. It got worse when the secondary became woefully thin due to injuries against the Bengals...but thank God Green Bay ...
