It's not quite training camp yet, but it's never too early to talk some football. Continuing today, I'll rank the 32 quarterbacks in the NFL based on where they stand in their respective divisions. It's time for the NFC South, which of course includes the defending Super Bowl MVP QB Drew Brees. You figure he'd be on top right? Other QBs in this division include Matt Ryan who took a little bit of ...

Posted: 20th May 2010 by Sammy Makki in NFL
It's not quite training camp yet, but it's never too early to talk some football. Continuing today, I'll rank the 32 quarterbacks in the NFL based on where they stand in their respective divisions. It's time for the AFC West, which is a bunched up division when it comes to QBs. After the Chargers with Phil Rivers, the other three teams have a bunch of guys on their rosters. It seems as ...
After splitting two games in Atlanta, the Mets head to the Nation's Capital to play two with the reeling Nationals. After surprising everyone by getting off to a 20-15 start, the Nationals have lost five in a row to drop to an even 20-20 on the season. The Mets, on the other hand, couldn't get to 20-20 as they lost last night behind ace Johan Santana. Now they will try and ...

Posted: 18th May 2010 by Sammy Makki in MLB
ATLANTA—Looking to build on a strong performance out of Mike Pelfrey on Monday night, the Mets sent their ace Johan Santana to the mound against the Braves. Santana had one bad inning the entire game, and it was the third. In that frame, he allowed four consecutive hits, including a two-run home run to Troy Glaus after getting the first two outs. The Mets would trail 2-0, and they didn't get a ...

It's not quite training camp yet, but it's never too early to talk some football. Continuing today, I'll rank the 32 quarterbacks in the NFL based on where they stand in their respective divisions. It's time for the AFC North, which is becoming a tougher division with the ever-improving Joe Flacco, and the sagas of Ben Roethlisberger. Can Ben Roethlisberger still be on top of this division with his off-the-field issues, ...
The Mets got off to a very poor start this season. They were 2-6 and it looked like they were on their way to 100 losses. Then all of a sudden they caught fire en route to a 9-1 home stand, eight straight wins and a 14-9 record. For a couple of days, they were actually in first place in the NL East. Ever since that winning streak, they have ...

New York Mets Rely on John Maine To Win in Miami

Posted: 15th May 2010 by Sammy Makki in MLB
John Maine, after a very slow start to his Oliver Perez-like season, has turned the corner. He has thrown a quality start in each of his last three outings. His string of successful starts began in game one of a doubleheader at Citi Field against the Dodgers on April 28 where he threw six innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits. Then on May 4 at the Reds he ...
MIAMI-- After a start in which Oliver Perez walked seven batters in 3 1/3 innings, blaming it on cold conditions, he had abolutely no excuse for this terrible outing. Perez, who was given a vote of confidence by Jerry Manuel and was told that he was not pitching for his spot in the rotation, gave up four home runs in 3 1/3 innings as the Mets took a 7-2 loss. It didn't ...
