2010 NBA Mock Draft: After Lottery, Changes at The Top, Turner Drops
Posted: 18th May 2010 by Ron Furlong in NBA
The Lottery caused some changes at the top, the biggest of which will be the dropping of long time expected number two pick Evan Turner.
The Kings move up, but do they get the same player?
Do the Wizards want Wall at number one even though they have Arenas?
Timberwolves Move down, but do they still get who they want?
In addition to this second version of my mock draft, I also include where ...

Posted: 18th May 2010 by Jon Neely in NHL
If ever there were an example of a player doing a lot with just a little, it would be Carl Gunnarsson of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who had a strong rookie campaign on the blue line.
Born in Orebro, Sweden, the 23-year-old stud used the limited time he had this season to show his team and the rest of the league that he has what it takes to have a permanent ...

2010 NBA Mock Draft: Washington Wizards Win NBA Draft Lottery
Posted: 18th May 2010 by Bob Evans in NBA
Not much has gone right for the Washington Wizards organization in the 2009-2010 NBA season.
They had two players suspended because they brought guns into the locker room, traded away the faces of their franchise in Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler, and they recorded a dismal 26-56 record to bring up last place in the Southeast division.
All of that just got a little better when they pulled off the upset of ...
So by now all you of you have heard or read of the terrible case of the Monday's Hanley Ramirez came down with during yesterday's game versus the Diamondbacks.
If not, read Dan's last post over at themarlinsblog.com . And appalled as I am that someone like Hanley would be perfectly fine with his public display of immaturity, I must say that I am not surprised.
Hanley ...
Do The Portland Trail Blazers Need to Make a Move in The Offseason?
Posted: 18th May 2010 by T. in NBA
Now that we're in the offseason in Portland, the talk is all about offseason moves. Should the Blazers sign a star player to compliment Roy? Should Pritchard pull of a blockbuster trade?
The consensus seems to be that the Trail Blazers need to make a move. There's a strong case that they should, but I think that they don't need to.
First of all, Portland doesn't have the money to sign a ...
ATLANTA—Looking to build on a strong performance out of Mike Pelfrey on Monday night, the Mets sent their ace Johan Santana to the mound against the Braves.
Santana had one bad inning the entire game, and it was the third. In that frame, he allowed four consecutive hits, including a two-run home run to Troy Glaus after getting the first two outs.
The Mets would trail 2-0, and they didn't get a ...
Rays-Yankees: Pitching Matchup Part TwoùJames Shields Vs. Andy Pettitte
Posted: 18th May 2010 by Kate Conroy in MLB
Thursday's matchup is definitely a good one featuring Andy Pettitte and James Shields .
Another hard winner to pick because Pettitte has been so good and Shields has greatly improved since the last time he faced this Yankees lineup.
JAMES SHIELDS (TBR) vs. ANDY PETTITTE (NYY )
JAMES SHIELDS
PROS
James Shields has some experience against the Yankees, so he knows what to expect. As 2010 moves along, so does Shields, who has pitched for eight ...
2010 NBA Mock Draft: Post NBA Draft Lottery, John Wall Headed to Wizards
Posted: 18th May 2010 by Brandon Williams in NBA
Agent Zero and the Wall.
What sounds like the title of a summer movie is instead the future of the Washington Wizards, who defied the odds and netted the top pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, setting the stage for them to select Kentucky PG John Wall.
The addition of Wall, coupled with the return of SG Gilbert Arenas, is a pleasant jolt of fresh air for a Wizards franchise that imploded ...
