The Mets are the hottest team in baseball right now, finishing their second consecutive sweep on the road. The Mets had been struggling for most of the season on the road, not even being able to win a series before sweeping through Baltimore and Cleveland.
The Mets have been doing everything right, getting great pitching, fielding, and hitting. They have been hustling, getting key hits, and adding on extra runs when needed.
The Mets go ...
I’m working under the assumption that Brett Favre will return to the Vikings. If he doesn’t things will change for the Purple, but the likelihood is extremely high that #4 will be back.
Fantasy Playoffs Schedule : Difficult
The Vikings start things off with the Giants at home in Week 14. Next they take on the Bears at home. Finally, they play in Philly for the fantasy championship. Favre could be under ...
Why the Rest of the New York Mets’ Season Starts Today
Posted: 18th June 2010 by Joe Fiorello in MLB
Here we are, New York Mets fans. It's nearing the midway point of the season, and the team we love is a half-game out of first, and 10 games above .500.
Who would have thunk it? Certainly not me.
I went into this season with mixed feelings about this team.
I felt that if they could stay healthy, they could put up a fight, and maybe sneak into the playoffs via ...
Peyton Manning not a top-two option? Tom Brady outside the top five? The landscape of NFL quarterbacks is certainly changing. Let’s take a look at my rankings for the 2010 season:
Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers
Drew Brees - New Orleans Saints
Peyton Manning - Indianapolis Colts
Matt Schaub - Houston Texans

The Buffalo Sabres are a team that prides itself on winning games through solid defense and incredible balance. Unfortunately, the team’s balance wasn’t enough to get past the sixth-seeded Boston Bruins in the opening round of the 2010 playoffs.
The Sabres’ balance makes it difficult to pinpoint one specific position or type of player to draft.
One thing the Sabres will not need in this draft is a goalie. Ryan Miller will ...
The Double G Sports Expert Panel has been polled once again to come up with our Major League Baseball Power Rankings for June. This is the third installment of our power rankings this season.
For last months rankings, click here .
Once again there was quite a bit of movement up and down the rankings. The biggest jump was the Atlanta Braves who moved from 20th in May ...
Jaroslav Halak had another save-choked year for the Montreal Canadiens. Playing under intense media and fan scrutiny in Montreal he excelled. Playing on a team that gave up one of the highest shot counts against per game in the league (32.1 SA/G —fifth worst in NHL) he made saves and won games for a team that often didn't deserve to win.
He followed up a great regular season with an unbelievable ...
Pat White’s Days With the Miami Dolphins May Be Numbered
Posted: 18th June 2010 by Scott Altman in NFL
The last time we saw Pat White, he lay motionless on the turf of Sun Life Stadium after the Steelers' Ike Taylor appeared to have turned him into a cadaver.
Ironically, that was the most representative play of White's cadaverous season.
The Dolphins used the 44th overall pick on the former West Virginia star in the 2009 draft.
Although White enjoyed large scale success in the Mountaineers' spread offense, many questioned his ...
The 2009 Green Bay Packers season was one of the most bittersweet seasons in recent memory, providing an exciting glimpse of what is to come, while feeding the fantasy realm with a myriad of quality players to choose from.
Last year, Aaron Rodgers showed that he can in fact be the new leader, and the 3-4 hybrid scheme—brought in by Dom Capers—produced a top-five defense all year that led the league ...
Montreal Canadiens Trade Jaroslav Halak To St. Louis
Posted: 18th June 2010 by Francois Gendron in NHL
Montreal Canadiens' general manager Pierre Gauthier announced this Thursday that he concluded a trade with the St-Louis Blues. Goaltender Jaroslav Halak has been traded to the Blues for young prospects Lars Eller and Ian Schultz.With his late season and playoff performances, Halak's value has gone up. But it seems to me that Halak was worth more than the two players the Canadiens acquired. Many Canadiens fans agree with me and ...
