Two Ace Left-Handers, One Series at Stake For Mets-Yankees
Posted: 20th June 2010 by Sammy Makki in MLB
NEW YORK-- Unless these two teams meet each other in the World Series, this will be the final time they face one another until 2011. The Yankees and the Mets are playing their sixth and final game against each other today, with the season series hanging in the balance. The Mets can win the season series from the Yankees for the first time since 2008, or the Yankees can earn ...
Philadelphia Flyers Bolster Defense by Trading for Dan Hamhuis
Posted: 20th June 2010 by David Rosenblum in NHL
If the Flyers want to return to the Finals next season and beat the Blackhawks, they know they can't rely on four defensemen for the entire playoffs.
On Saturday, the Flyers announced their plan for the off-season: Build a stronger team that has the ability to contend for the Cup yet again through free agency. With no picks in next week’s NHL Draft until the third round, the Flyers knew that ...
Another billboard should soon to be posted. Jared Gaither is a wanted man in Raider Nation. If you see him, bring him in.
Al Davis has already dramatically improved the Raiders but Gaither is the one player that can put us over the top. There are too many reasons why it makes sense.
The main reason is that we need a left tackle period. Mario Henderson had a horrible year after playing well in 2008.
However, we have ...
Felix Hernandez Gives Mariners Another Gem Performance!
Posted: 20th June 2010 by Phililp Crossland in MLB
SEATTLE — Michael Saunders’ three-run homer helped Seattle to a 5-1 win Saturday night at Safeco Field.
The Seattle Mariners cruised through a typically tidy game — getting quality pitching from Felix Hernandez and a minimal amount of offense — when something out of the ordinary broke out.
Nearly a week’s worth of runs by the Mariners.
They scored four times in the sixth inning, as many runs as they’d produced in their ...
Magic Johnson Still Edges Out Kobe Bryant As Greatest Laker Of All-Time
Posted: 20th June 2010 by Steven Resnick in NBA
Magic Johnson is widely considered the greatest point guard in NBA history, although an argument can be made for John Stockton who had the prototypical point guard body. Johnson basically created the term used today of a "point forward" meaning a taller individual player who can handle the ball like a point guard.
Johnson put up some incredible numbers as a Laker and even came close to averaging a triple double ...
Rockies Come From Behind, Then Survive Late Brewers Rally
Posted: 20th June 2010 by David Martin in MLB
Who would have thought that the magical formula for the Rockies to start playing better would be to lose their best player?
That's exactly what seems to have happened, as the Rockies rallied for the first time all season, beating the Brewers 8-7 at Coors Field on Saturday night.
The Rockies were down 4-1 heading into the bottom of the 7th inning after a disastrous top of the inning spoiled an otherwise ...
Claudio Vargas to Join Los Angeles Dodgers Starting Rotation
Posted: 20th June 2010 by Dennis Schlossman in MLB
Now, it seems as if the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting rotation is on the verge of total collapse.
Carlos Monasterios, the rookie right-hander who was battling to find himself a spot as the team's fifth starter, has joined fellow starters Chad Billingsley and Charlie Haeger on the disabled list, the Dodgers announced on Friday afternoon.
Monasterios (3-2, 3.88 ERA) was sent to the DL with what was described as "a pre-existing blood ...
Of any draft pick I have seen the 49ers make, I don't remember any that I perceived as having a bigger difference between upside and downside potential than Taylor Mays.
What if a person with his size, speed, vertical, and strength ever developed Ed Reed's instincts and ability to diagnose plays? Then again, what if he doesn't improve his technique of bringing players to the turf by cracking ribs instead ...
Cleveland Cavaliers Want Chris Bosh; Possible Sign and Trade Coming?
Posted: 20th June 2010 by Brad LeClair in NBA
ccording to Ric Bucher of ESPN, the Cleveland Cavaliers have called the offices of Bryan Colangelo and the Toronto Raptors about the availability of power forward Chris Bosh. The soon-to-be free agent is looking more and more like he will leave the organization that drafted him and the city he has called home for seven years.
Bosh would like to head to Cleveland only if LeBron James stays there. I don't ...
Who is really to say what happens with this pick? The franchise is in a bit of disarray right now between trying to figure out who is going to coach it and trying to improve a roster that is lacking in some key areas. But hey, they have that nifty new logo right?
Rumors abound as to who the Warriors like at this spot. And while names like Xavier Henry have ...
