Why the New York Mets’ Jenrry Mejia Will Start the Season in the Majors
Posted: 28th March 2010 by Joseph DelGrippo in MLB
This spring has brought us more stories of the Joba Rules. It has also created more pitchers likely to go under similar rules and talked about in "Is he (pick your guy) best suited as a starter or a reliever?"
Most relievers are failed starting pitchers. The New York Yankees closer extraordinaire Mariano Rivera is one such example.
At 25 years of age, Rivera started 10 games in ...
Is the Phoenix Coyotes Playoff Berth Merely an NHL Sales Pitch?
Posted: 28th March 2010 by Brian Tuohy in NHL
For the first time since the 2001-02 season, the Phoenix Coyotes have reached the NHL playoffs.
That gives the beleaguered Coyotes faithful reason to celebrate, and it makes fans around the NHL excited to see the return of the "White Out" in the Jobing.com Arena.
This jubilation, however, should give more than a few NHL fans reason to pause. How did the Coyotes actually become a playoff team this year?
In the summer of ...
Chad Gaudin Free to Regrow Facial Hair with A’s
Posted: 28th March 2010 by Bronx Baseball Daily in MLB
According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, Chad Gaudin, who was released by the Yankees last Thursday, has signed with the Oakland Athletics and will join the team’s bullpen.
Gaudin was set to make $2.95 million this season with the Yankees, but his contract was non-guaranteed. Since he didn’t pitch well this spring and has already dealt with fatigue issues, they decided it was best to cut him so they would ...
Pete Rose and the Hall of Fame: The Definitive Edition
Posted: 28th March 2010 by Illya Harrell in MLB
Seems like every year at about this time in the season, Reds' fans and their "Pro-Pete Cooperstown" articles pop-up more than Miley Cyrus television appearances—and with equal annoyance.
Pete Rose deserves a plaque less than Billy Ripken.
Anyone who is the least bit familiar with my writings knows that to deny my love for the Cincinnati Reds is akin to a rock 'n roll fan saying, "Yeah, that John Lennon, he sorta ...
Mock Draft Fan’s Picks Round Two: Tampa Bay Pick No. 42
Posted: 28th March 2010 by Daniel Krem in NFL
Alright B/R fans you asked for it so here it is, round two of our Fan's Draft. Round one was a success and we’ll expect nothing less this time around.
Hopefully this will give fans a chance to get an idea of what the second round could look like, and also pretty much just help pass the time until the real thing happens in April.
The same rules apply, and we’ll leave ...
Don Nelson Trying to Impress Warriors’ New Future Owner?
Posted: 28th March 2010 by Khalid Shakran in NBA
Don Nelson has expressed interest and apparent "excitement" at coaching the Golden State Warriors' Summer League squad this upcoming off-season in Las Vegas.
It's overly clear, however, that the 69-year-old head coach knows that he has some work to do in order to impress the yet-to-come owner of this franchise.
Summer league is the start, though?
Nelson has studied the upcoming season schedule and might have just figured out that getting ...
Public perception of the Charlie Whitehurst trade has been exaggeratedly negative, and most of the reason for it is baseless.
Seattle Seahawks acquired Whitehurst for a 2011 third-round pick, and swapped second-rounders with the Chargers to acquire Whitehurst, then they signed him to a two-year, $10 million extension.
All that, and Whitehurst has never thrown a pass in the pros.
Independently, any of those things are potentially damning to any fan, pundit, or ...
Serge Ibaka: Why Oklahoma City No Longer Needs a Big Man
Posted: 28th March 2010 by Casey Womack in NBA
At the beginning of the year, everyone who pays attention to the Oklahoma City Thunder has known that the one piece missing for the team has been a dominant big man.
A lot of people have speculated about trades in which the team could try to land an experienced, talented big man. Those names have included players like Chris Bosh, Chris Kaman, Andrew Bynum, and others.
However, with the fantastic performance by ...
This team was supposed to be invincible.
There was talk of a 70-win season, another potential three-peat, another MVP award for Kobe Bryant, or at the very least, a return to their 2009 Championship form.
However, through their numerous failures throughout the season, the Lakers quieted that chatter long ago.
The savage stomping they received by the Nuggets in their first matchup of the season, the Christmas day massacre they suffered at the ...
