A Rude Awakening In The Bronx: Lee Edges Sabathia In Phillies Game One Win
Posted: 29th October 2009 by Matt Cullen in MLB
It was pitted as the battle of the former Indians aces and they did not disappoint.
CC Sabathia was "off his game" Wednesday night going seven innings and giving up four hits and three walks.
Two of those hits were costly ones to Chase Utley that found their way over the right field wall. The first one might be regarded as a typical Yankee Stadium cheap pop-up home run, but the second ...
The Script Resurfaces: New York Yankees Head to the World Series

"...hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."- Andy Dufresne (The Shawshank Redemption)
I'd be lying if I told you I expected this.
Throwing a lot of money at problems was nothing new for the New York Yankees of this decade and it never fixed anything before.
Granted the Yankees of 2003 made it to the Fall Classic after going overseas to sign highly acclaimed ...
"Not only are the Raiders terrible, but they look uninterested. If the Eagles win by 17 or less in this one my head will explode, that's not a bluff either. My head really will explode, so don't let me down Philly."ùMatt Cullen
About that...for those of you concerned, my head is still intact and I'm angry over that game. Not angry at the Eagles, but at myself. The Eagles always do ...
Every week that goes by during the NFL season we learn more about each team, I think.
á
The Broncos were a team that got lucky against the Bengals and then merely just beat two bad teams; now they seem primed to get a first round bye.
á
The New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens looked like front runners in the AFC early one; they now each have lost three games in a row ...
I am proud to have called the Jets victory over the Patriots but overall I did not fare as well Week Two as I anticipated, going 10-6. Tomorrow's another week...

Redskins (1-1) at Lions (0-2)
Everyone seems to like the Lions this week. I'm not drinking te Kool-Aid, the Redskins do not have an explosive offense. I'm not very concerned that they only scored nine points against the St. Louis Rams. With ...
To say that there were some radical changes made to the Power Rankings would be an understatement. Five of the top six teams lost Sunday, and the other needed a last second field goal to win.
There are also three unexpected division leaders so far in the New York Jets, Denver Broncos, and San Francisco 49ers.
The New York Jets (again) made the biggest jump in the rankings. (13th to 2nd)
The Pittsburgh ...
The Day the New York Jets Punched the Bully in the Mouth
Posted: 21st September 2009 by Matt Cullen in NFL
"Rex Ryan has the defense heading in the right direction but their starting QB will not only be a rookie but one that started only 16 games in college. Laveranues Coles is gone, Chris Baker is gone too ,which means Dustin Keller will be less of a receiving threat and used more to block.
"Thomas Jones is now 31-years old and before Brett Favre showed up he rushed for just 3.6 ...
Alright so my chances of 256-0 are officially over but you know what can happen? 252-4 can happen!
I ended up going 12-4 on my picks, senselessly changing my mind to the Redskins over the Giants as I was writing my article. I'm hoping to fare even better this week. So without further ado, here are my Week Two picks:
Panthers (0-1) at Falcons (1-0)
Solely based on their Week One results, this ...
The Dallas Cowboys’ Top 10 Most Likely Scenarios to End Their Season
Posted: 12th September 2009 by Matt Cullen in NFL
Nobody is more excited than me for the return of America's new pastime in the form of the National Football League.
There are many storylines and many reasons to be excited, Michael Vick is back, Tom Brady is too, Carson Palmer and Matt Hasselbeck are also reportedly healthy.
The Steelers are looking to repeat and make a claim for team of the decade, Dan Snyder is still throwing a lot of ...
