With the 2010 regular season just a week away, and many people coming out with their previews for 2010, I decided to ask four fellow Braves writers seven questions about the Atlanta Braves to give everyone some different views on the 2010 season. I would like to thank the contributing writers: Joel Barker, Cameron Britt, Ben Duronio and Adam Cubbage.
What offseason grade would you give the Braves?
Joel Barker: ...

Santonio Holmes found time to hang with Emeril Lagasse (EDIT: actually, just some random chef) during his recent trip to Orlando. He also found time to throw glass at a woman's face.
Allegedly .
Now, according to the write-up, Holmes and the woman in question differ on their opinions as to whether throwing glass at someone's face should be considered illegal.
The woman thinks that it should.
Holmes begs to differ.
The police were also ...
2010 MLB Predictions: Chicago Cubs Won’t See First in NL Central
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Alex Kantecki in MLB
The regular season is right around the corner, but don't expect Carlos Zambrano or Ryan Dempster to make a World Series prediction for 2010. It was just three years ago when Zambrano declared himself the best pitcher in the National League and forecasted a Series victory for the Cubs. Dempster took over as prognosticator in ‘08, stating the ...
The 2010 MLB season is right around the corner, and what would a new season be without bold predictions. Whether you're a die-hard Seattle fan who thinks the Mariners will win the World Series or the faithful Mets fan who still thinks they have a chance to win the division, there is bound to be something inside for everyone.
So let's hunker down and take a look at what the 2010 ...
NBA Stock Report: The Top Eight Teams And Where They Stand
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Hadarii Jones in NBA
Pressure is mounting for the eight teams trying to secure home court advantage in the first round of the NBA playoffs, and the response in the final few weeks of the regular season will likely impact the postseason.
The identity of the final eight teams may be settled, but the race for positioning among some will be fast and fierce with less than a game separating some teams in the standings.
In ...
In need of a little depth because of the Sean Avery injury, the Rangers have recalled 25-year-old center Corey Locke from the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Locke is listed at 5′9″ and 189 lbs. He has one game of NHL experience back in 2007-08 with the Montreal Canadiens, the team that drafted him in the fourth round back in the 2003 draft. He’s played 73 games with the Wolf Pack this season ...

Posted: 29th March 2010 by Busta Bucket in NBA
The following is a reflection and commentary on my time as a Portland Trailblazers season ticket holder, but it easily applies to anyone who has ever owned season tickets to any professional sports team.
NBA? NFL? MLB? NHL? NCAA? Whatever the acronym is for soccer? Different sports, same experiences. Read on and tell me if I'm wrong.
Four seasons ago two friends and I bought ...
The ‘Key’ Player For Each National League East Team
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Adam Bernacchio in MLB
Last year I started a series that featured the 'Key' player for each team. A 'Key' player is someone who was injured or had a down year the year before and if they can come back to form, their respective team would be vastly improved.
This year I thought I would continue this series and go division by division to identify the 'Key' player for each team.
Here is the 'Key' player ...
MLB Starting Rotation Update: National League East
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Adam Bernacchio in MLB
This week, along with looking at each team’s updated starting lineup, I wanted to take a look at each team’s updated starting rotation.
I will start in the National League East and go from there.
The NL East is home to perhaps the two best pitchers in baseball in Roy Halladay and Johan Santana. Not only are there superstar pitchers in this division, there are also ...
LewMan’s 2010 Major League Baseball Preview: Ranking All 30 MLB Teams
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Lewie Pollis in MLB
Opening Day is fast approaching.
The beginning of baseball season has a vast array of consequences.
As an Indians fan, it means I will soon become a mere shell of a human being, completely embittered by my hometown team's failings.
As a fantasy nut, it begins a six-month stretch of staring at my computer screen and swearing at the players foolish enough to strike out on my watch.
And, as a human being, I ...
