Matt Cain Extended by Giants: SF Will Be Atop MLB Arms Race for the Near Future
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Andrew Brining in MLB
If you're a true Dodger Blue fan in Los Angeles or elsewhere, Monday morning can't have been a pleasant one. At least as long as Major League Baseball was on your mind.
Sure, you've got the bristling young talents of Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Clayton Kershaw, and James Loney to go with still-coming Chad Billingsley (I'm not sold on Jonathan Broxton). Russell Martin ain't too shabby behind the dish either.
Of course, ...
2010 FC NFL Mock Draft: At 30, the Minnesota Vikings Select…
Posted: 29th March 2010 by JP Frederick in NFL
Really?
....Really?
Sam Bradford, the former Heisman-winning QB from Oklahoma, the projected top-five (if not first overall) pick, is still here?
Well.....then this is pretty easy, isn't it?
Draft the young kid, the heir apparent. Minnesota can't pass up the chance to get a potential franchise quarterback this late in the draft. Let him learn from ol' Brett Favre and then Bradford can take over in a year or two.
Just a little bit of ...
While I am usually opposed to playing in the hypothetical world of mock drafts, it is intriguing to explore what talent is available to Kansas City in the 2010 draft, and where in the draft progression said talent may be available.
Therefore, I bring you my first Kansas City Chiefs mock draft.
Please note that, especially in the later rounds, the picks are subject to personal preference and will not represent the ...
Oklahoma Pro Day Results: Sam Bradford Dazzles Crowd With His Arm
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Daniel Wolf in NFL
Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford put on a show that heard many "oohs and aahs" from onlookers in a crowd that consisted of both pro personnel and fans alike.
Standing at 6'5" and weighing in at 236 pounds, Bradford looked solidly built in the upper body and stronger than he has ever looked while throwing the ball today.
Respected personality and former NFL executive, Gil Brandt, even said,
"[Bradford] put on the best quarterback ...
Young Arm Waldis Joaquin of Giants Trying to Force Way into San Fran Bullpen
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Sam Corun in MLB
The San Francisco Giants' Waldis Joaquin is on the bubble to make the 2010 Opening Day roster.
The ’10 bullpen staff already features a plethora of live arms and young talent, so the 23-year-old may have a tough time cracking the 25-man roster to start the year.
Joaquin began his career in 2005 at the age of 18 for the Giants' Rookie squad. He showed immediate potential, striking out 37 batters in ...

About Trent Edwards, Kelly stated, "I like Trent personally. He ...

I must include a small paragraph to say how good it is to be back. What, with me heading off into the bright old world of university this past September, I obviously haven't had much time for writing on here. Well, its Easter break, and here I am. I had a lot of good readers last year, I hope I can draw them and more back. As always, please give ...

Posted: 29th March 2010 by Chris Miller in NHL
Martin Brodeur is in the process of opening up a new establishment, one which will be known as the "600 Win Club."
This season, the New Jersey Devils' goaltender broke his own record of seasons with 40 or more wins, resetting the bar to an incredible eight years.
Despite an injury preventing Brodeur from starting the majority of games last season, the net-minder has returned this season to rewrite the record books ...
