2010 NBA Finals: Dear Diary, I Cheered for the Los Angeles Lakers
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Busta Bucket in NBA
Let me admit something to you: I cheered for the Lakers to win the Finals. It started during Game Two of the series when Boston walked into the Staples Center and slapped the home team around. That was the night Ray Allen made eight three-pointers, Rajon Rondo had a triple double, and it became clear to me that hating the Lakers is total garbage.
Maybe I got too close. I’m spending ...
Nick Johnson and Alfsono Soriano Instead of Curt Schilling in Boston?
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Harold Friend in MLB
Baseball history was changed forever on Nov. 28, 2003.
Curt Schilling was traded to the Boston Red Sox by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Without Schilling, the Red Sox would not have been World Champions in 2004 or in 2007. Schilling didn't mince words. At the press conference announcing the trade, he succinctly summed up the situation. He told the world that he wanted ...

Posted: 19th June 2010 by Hadarii Jones in NBA
The Los Angeles Lakers 93-89 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game Seven of the 2010 NBA Finals signaled the end of another chapter of the league's most historic rivalry, and ushers in questions about each team's ability to return to this stage.
Both teams have concerns going into the off-season, but the Celtics may have more issues to settle if they are to reach the NBA Finals again, ...
As of June 19, the Mets are sitting at 39-28 and a half a game behind first place in the NL East. Barring a typical late season collapse, the Mets are in good position to make some noise this season. Guys are finally starting to get healthy and the usually horrendous pitching staff is sixth in the league in ERA and saves. David Wright is currently ...
Kobe Bean Bryant will never be Michael Jeffery Jordan.
Whenever any discussion concerning Bryant's legacy in the NBA is commenced, the debate will inevitably shift towards a comparison to Jordan, and how Bryant falls short in that respect.
Every child grows up trying to emulate the style and game of their favorite NBA heroes, and for the few lucky enough to realize the dream of actually competing in the league, their respect ...

One of New York's biggest Mets fans will be working with the team he adores in the broadcast booth for the Mets vs. Yankees game. Jerry Seinfeld will be the guest of honor for three innings, replacing Ron Darling for a bit. This was first reported by the New York Post's Michael Starr .
According to Starr, this is all a Fathers' Day gift to Jerry from his family. The television ...
Best Player In 2003 Draft: Does It Come Down To a Ring?
Posted: 19th June 2010 by dalton dechaine in NBA
The 2003 draft class is in my opinion the best draft class in history with such names as Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony. Most people seem to think LeBron is the clear best, but I'm here to tell you why that's not true. Here is a list, four being the worst and one being the best.
4.Chris Bosh: Bosh has been one of the best ...
Brian Scalabrine Feels Robbed After Amazing Performance In Game 7
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Christopher Chavez in NBA
Brian Scalabrine believes that he could have been the difference maker in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. He played just 51 seconds of the game, but showed hustle and determination as soon as he stepped on the court. He agreed to speak to reporters from his home in Boston a day after the Lakers defeated them at the Staples Center.
Reporters were at Scalabrine's door waiting to get his take ...
Nick Blackburn has always been tough to figure out. Finishing the last couple seasons with a "well-rounded" total of 11-11, he looks to be skidding into similar figures towards the end of June.
But what worries me isn't so much the new advent of suck, but it coming after a phenomenal month of May. Blackburn was 5-0 in May, winning all of his decisions. He pitched at least seven innings in ...
Before the 2009-10 season officially ends and free agency begins, I decided to put together a team of my own under the current $56.8 million salary cap. The monetary value following each player is their 2010 salary cap hit.
For those of you not familiar with the “cap hit,” it is an average of the current contract a player is signed to. The cap hit is what is counted against each ...
