NBA Playoffs: Cleveland Cavaliers Send Message To Each Other by Thumping Bulls
Posted: 26th April 2010 by Tom Delamater in NBA
There was a difference in the way the Cleveland Cavaliers played on Sunday in Chicago, and it was about time.
This is a team loaded with talent. They boast the league’s reigning, and presumptive, MVP. They’re piloted by last year’s Coach of the Year.
They have a legend patrolling the paint, a respected veteran at power forward, and an experienced guard rotation that can make you pay if you choose to leave ...
Baltimore Orioles’ Search for Answers Should Lead to Minor Leagues
Posted: 26th April 2010 by Michael Waters in MLB
Although it wasn’t the ideal win, the Orioles will take anything they can get.
On Sunday they left Fenway Park with a 7-6 victory in the 10th inning. Miguel Tejada and Rhyne Hughes were responsible for the extra-inning heroics that put the O’s ahead in the 10th and ultimately led them to just their third victory.
The Orioles received quality contributions from struggling marquee players Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, and a returning Tejada, ...
So I'm in the market for a new baseball jersey.
An Orioles one of course. And I'm having a hard time deciding. Ergo, I've decided to air my deliberations publicly and hopefully elicit some advice on who to purchase and why.
There's a lot that goes into decision making like this. For instance, I can lecture you for days on the purchasing of a recent draft pick's threads. You see, when I ...

According to Josh Norris, Yankees prospect right handed pitcher Christian Garcia has undergone Tommy John surgery for the second time in the past four years.
Garcia is actually one of the most talented pitchers the Yankees have in the minor leagues. He’s even been compared to Phil Hughes favorably.
The problem is that he has suffered multiple injuries over the past couple of years in addition to the pair of Tommy ...
Sixty-one days.
If the 2010 NBA Finals goes a full seven games, that is how many days it will have taken to complete the 2010 NBA Playoffs.
Starting April 17, the playoffs would conclude with Game 7 of the NBA Finals on June 17. That’s entirely too long.
A student at The Ohio State University could nearly complete a quarter’s worth of classes in that time. Excluding exam week, a ...
Road games are always tough to win for any team but, Atlanta has had huge trouble winning on the road. Saturday night showed a huge hole in the otherwise deadly Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks have struggled on the road all season long being at a pitiful 19-22 this season. While Atlanta has had some excuses for losing on the road before, the game Saturday showed a huge flaw in Atlanta and there is no excuse ...

After one week, the NBA Playoffs are in full-swing, so naturally, the fan base of the league just increased about 200 percent.
The regular season is just too long, and considering that we have only eliminated 16 teams and still have over two months of basketball left, the fans just tuning in didn’t miss much.
For those of you that are indeed just starting to pay attention, there isn’t much you missed.

Canadiens-Capitals: Can Montreal Force Game Seven Versus Washington?
Posted: 26th April 2010 by Kamal Panesar in NHL
Enjoy the weekend everyone? I know I did.
As much as I love watching the Canadiens, I have to say that the two days off between games were a welcome reprieve from the playoff stress. And, like the Habs and Caps, I got to enjoy a little R & R.
Well, the Habs and Caps likely didn't enjoy as much R & R as I did, but during a playoff stretch where ...

Posted: 26th April 2010 by Eric Warren in NHL
It's a sad day for the LA Kings. Their first playoff birth since the 2001-2002 season ended last night at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks, but despite losing the series in six games, they put the the hockey world on notice—they'll be back!
This year's playoffs have been one of the most entertaining I have witnessed in years; there have been 12 overtime games already, goals called back, fantastic saves ...
