The Yankee Years: Joe Torre’s All-Time New York Yankees!
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Shashwat Baxi in MLB
With the weekend series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers coming to a close last night, the MLB and its fans are finally ready to move on with the post-Joe Torre Yankees.
While Torre may not be as loved and cherished by New Yorkers as he was once was, there is no denying that he brought the Yankees from a mediocre team to becoming the premiere ...
Legion Of Doom Or Just Doomed? Broncos Defense Done Without Elvis Dumervil
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Kris Burke in NFL
Earlier this week, I wrote about who can become the identity of the Denver Broncos on offense.
Now let's take a look at the defensive side of the ball.
Unlike the offense, there is no question whom "The Man" is on the Broncos defense. The buck starts and stops with linebacker Elvis Dumervil. Yes, Champ Bailey is one of the best corners of all-time, but he is now past his prime. ...
B.J. Upton, Evan Longoria Get Into It in the Dugout
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Adam Bernacchio in MLB
Sunday was one of those days that Tampa Bay Rays’ OF B.J. Upton would rather soon forget. Not only did he go 0-for-3, but when he did get on base with a walk, he got picked off. Then he flew out to end the game. But the worst thing that happened to Upton, was that he and Evan Longoria got into a heated argument in the dugout.
In the top of ...
NBA Free Agency: Philadelphia 76ers’ Possible Off Season Moves
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Ros Dumlao in NBA
For the Philadelphia 76ers to see the light of the 80s glory days again, they need to focus on a rebuilding process.
And what a better way to start than with the No. 2 pick?
The pick gave the 76ers some pretty savvy options to either help out their back or front court. They chose Evan Turner, and by doing so, might have sent a message that they are looking to ...
In a minor deal with the Coyotes, the Avalanche acquired forward Daniel Winnik in exchange for a 4th round draft pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Winnik, selected 256th overall by the Coyotes in 2004, has played three NHL seasons with Phoenix. In the 2009-2010 season, Winnik scored four goals and 19 points in 74 games, while recording 104 hits. He ranked third in the Coyotes in penalty kill time, ...
Though the end of general manager Kevin Pritchard's tenure with the Blazers left many fans unhappy with how he was treated, there will still be many fond memories of KP.
The Blazers will reap the benefits of his time as an executive for a long time. Whether it was stealing Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge, forcing other teams' hands, or adding the needed vets, Pritchard was constantly "Pritch-slapping" other teams ...
New England Patriots: Which Wideouts Make the 2010 Roster?
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Nick Sachs in NFL
I recently wrote an article about the Patriots' linebacking core and who I thought would make the cut. It was well-received enough that I figured I'd try to tackle (pun intended) another of the most interesting personnel groups the Pats have to sort through—the wide receivers.
That's why I chose the quintessential Patriots wideout for the lead picture, Mr. Troy Brown. I find it fascinating when a player ...
2010 MLB Trade Rumors: Could Chicago’s Ted Lilly Be Philadelphia-Bound?
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Matt Trueblood in MLB
The Philadelphia Phillies have made a mid-rotation starting pitcher their top trade deadline priority, according to a tweet by ESPN's Buster Olney .
The two-time defending National League champions, who find themselves two and a half games back and in third place in the NL East division, will look to supplement a rotation that already includes the dominant Roy Halladay and a pair of strong left-handed hurlers, in the ageless Jamie ...
Tommy Hanson Struggles Again: Atlanta Braves Lose 10-4
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Alan Parrish in MLB
When Braves phenom Tommy Hanson struggled in his last outing, the Braves hoped it was a fluke. Lasting just 3.2 innings against a middle-of-the-road White Sox team, the Braves figured to see Hanson bouncing back against the Tigers. They didn't get their wish.
Hanson, who again lasted just three and two thirds innings and gave up six runs (five of them earned), was chased from his second straight start. I think ...
10 49ers Worth Considering For Your Fantasy Football TeamùJune Edition
Posted: 28th June 2010 by Joseph Burkey in NFL
Obviously, different leagues keep different statistics.
Some penalize more for picks and fumbles, others don't penalize for them at all. Some award points for every 10 yards rushing, some bump it up to 25, and some only count touchdowns.
It's primarily a matter of the settings.
Still, there are some constants and factors to always pay attention to.
The 49ers team has grown a lot this offseason, and although the ...
