Carter’s 2010 National League East Outlook and Predictions
Posted: 23rd March 2010 by David Carter in MLB
Atlanta Braves (Last Season: 86-76)
Will Bobby Cox’s last season as the Atlanta Braves manager be one worth remembering?
He’s been the one fixture in the Braves’ organization since their run in the 1990s. If the Braves don’t get to the playoffs this year, I would say that Cox’s final year with the team might be considered a failure no matter how close they get.
One thing they must have to make a ...

On Jan. 11, 2010 Pete Carroll stepped down as the head football coach of the USC Trojans. Pete Carroll has been a NFL coach and head coach as well as one of the most dominate college coachs in the past decade.
I know that people look at his NFL career and say he isn't fit for the NFL.
The 1994 N.Y. Jets went 6-10, not that impressive for a first year head ...
The question for the past six or seven years has been: How do you fix the Pacers' problems? The answer may be more clear today than it ever has before.
With the Pacers completing the season sweep of the Detroit Pistons tonight in Michigan, they have now won four out of their last five games—the only loss being a five-point nailbiter to the LeBron Cavaliers.
Before these last five games, the Pacers ...
With the introduction of the term “Floating Alignment,” Major League Baseball has a new buzz word to keep fans and critics alike speculating about the progression of America’s Pastime.
These proposed changes include giving certain small-market or underachieving teams the opportunity to move to divisions where they could become more competitive, or, at the very least, have a chance to play the Yankees and the Red Sox multiple times a ...
The days of waiting for a Dodgers ace may be over.
As much as Stephen Strasburg is dominating the headlines, Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers deserves our attention. In Clayton's case, it won't make much difference if he receives it now or later, but he will receive it.
The Dodgers as an organization have groomed this 2006 first-round draft pick perfectly. Easing his way into the majors, Joe Torre saw fit to keep ...
Cavaliers’ Rest of Season: Rotation, Big Z, Shaq, LeBron, Playoffs…Draft?
Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Spencer Carlson in NBA
We all know that when Shaq comes back—with Z already back—that the Cleveland Cavaliers are the deepest team in the league.
They can go big, small, athletic, defense, three-point shooting, and my favorite: fast pace. The question is: What pace and rotation will they use in the playoffs?
Well, I'll tell you in the next paragraph.
When Cleveland goes into the playoffs, its rotation will look like this:
Center: Shaq (30 minutes), Big Z (18 minutes).
Power ...

MLB Quick Pitches: Joe Torre Shelves Contract Talks
Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Patrick DeCola in MLB
What I’m Reading
• Where will Joe Torre be in 2011? Well, I can’t say for sure. Now, apparently, we won’t get an answer for a while.
• One fast outfield: The Bronx Bombers more or less already have a parking spot reserved for Carl Crawford at Yankee Stadium. It’s also looking like Phil Hughes has won the final rotation spot over Joba Chamberlain in the “Battle of Emotionless Forgettable Yankee Prospects ...
New NFL Overtimes; Work Of Visionaries Or Compromise Worthy of Congress?
Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Jack Gorman in NFL
The National Football League owners have finally done something about their overtime system. Well, for the playoffs anyway. And only when there’s a field goal involved. It used to be that the first possession was decided by virtue of a coin toss at the beginning of the overtime period. If that team scored, then the game was over, whether or not the coin toss loser got a shot ...
