Another Oscar night filled with people who are completely useless to society explaining their thoughts and ideals to it while holding a golden naked man has passed, but the quest for a different trophy has begun.
And I, another useless person to society, would like to explain my thoughts and ideas of what each team needs to do to hold the Commissioner's Trophy at the end of the 2010 MLB season.
With ...
In front of a sellout crowd of 10 and videotaped with a video camera from 1988, some player you actually heard of pitched two good innings, giving up just nine runs on 12 hits to go along with 10 walks.
"I literally just threw fastballs over and over again," player you heard of said. "Wait, there's how many more spring training games?"
Pitching the other seven innings were players numbered 80 to ...
The Black Sox Scandal vs Steroids: Which Was a Bigger Baseball Sin?
Posted: 2nd March 2010 by Christopher Murphy in MLB
On the one hand, you have the throwing of the 1919 World Series by eight players, which acts negatively and selfishly toward the team, fans, and everyone surrounding baseball.
However, although the thought process of steroids could be to support one's team, in most cases it's just as selfish and used by ego-maniacs in search of personal glory.
On the other side of things, the White Sox were ...
Chicago Bulls: 2-0 Since Trade Deadline, Fluke or Sign?
Posted: 22nd February 2010 by Christopher Murphy in NBA
The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost two in a row since acquiring Antawn Jamison, while the Chicago Bulls have won two in a row since the trade deadline. This is thanks in large part to newly acquired players, Flip Murray and Hakim Warrick.
Granted the Cavs played the Charlotte Bobcats and Orlando Magic as opposed to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers, but the Bulls wouldn't have won without the play of ...
The Chicago White Sox Five Greatest Postseason Performances Ever
Posted: 20th February 2010 by Christopher Murphy in MLB
110 years, nine playoff appearances, seven American League pennants, three World Series titles all wrapped into five performances.
The games are different, the stadiums are different, the uniforms are different, but the performances remain impressive.
These are the performances that, although may not have always brought a winner to the city of Chicago and, in one case, is a reminder of a black day for baseball, raised eyebrows.
It is ...
The Chicago Bulls did indeed hold John Salmons out of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks for a reason.
The Bulls have traded the shooting guard to the Milwaukee Bucks for Kurt Thomas and Francisco Elson and their expiring contracts.
This move will free up the $5.8 million owed to Salmons next year bringing the Bulls to about $20 million under the cap for the 2010 free agent sweepstakes.
Milwaukee gets a ...
Chicago White Sox: One DH, Two DH, Red DH, Blue DH
Posted: 17th February 2010 by Christopher Murphy in MLB
The Chicago White Sox have many options at the DH spot this season And although none of them are Red or Blue, Dr. Seuss would agree Ozzie Guillen has many options, including Andruw.
From Vizquel to Kotsay Guillen has his to pick, but who shall see the most at-bats, perhaps DHing A.J. when he's acting like a di...jerk.
Okay, enough rhyming. Although, for the record, I could have ...
Chicago Bulls: The Quest To Finish Above .500
Posted: 17th February 2010 by Christopher Murphy in NBA
Let's say this Chicago Bulls' team stays the way it is, even though they need to get rid of at least one of their big contracts to be a player in 2010. The Bulls are going to need a lot to go right in order to achieve anything other than an eighth seed.
First and foremost, the Bulls are going to need Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose to stay healthy. The ...
Arenas Finds Crossbow Outside Locker, Laughs Hysterically (Satire)
Posted: 5th January 2010 by Christopher Murphy in NBA
In what has become a running joke amongst the Washington Wizards, Gilbert Arenas found a crossbow outside his locker this morning. Arenas, unlike on-looking reporters, thought it was hilarious.
"Ohh, you got me, Javaris (Crittenton)," Arenas said smiling. "Wait until he sees what I have for him."
Arenas then pulled out a bazooka from his locker to show reporters.
"Now this is one spicy meatball," Arenas said.
Arenas and Crittenton have been under ...
Chicago Bears Week(s) Whatever: A Tale of Two Teams
Posted: 29th December 2009 by Christopher Murphy in NFL
I simply did not write an article after the Baltimore Ravens 31-7 shellacking of the Chicago Bears last week because I would not know how to put that game into a decent amount of words.á
It was a shellacking...done.
However, the show must go on and although these articles are becoming unbearable to write and extremely repetitive to read I can imagine, we are almost done with this awful season.
The ...
