Ozzie Guillen Coming up with Creative Ways To Weaken Sox Lineup
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Cregen McMinn in MLB
Last season Ozzie put together 126 different lineups over the course of the season. If recent rumors are any indication, the White Sox lineup will continue to be in flux this season.
As reported by Mark Gonzales, Ozzie has floated two ideas recently, both of which gave me the same knee-jerk reaction of “SERIOUSLY!?”
1. Batting Mark Kotsay THIRD against right-handed pitchers
Now don’t get me ...
Sergio Santos is a name White Sox fans may need to learn going into this season, as he is currently extremely close to taking the final roster spot. Fans of other teams, however, may learn his name as well before the 2010 season starts.
The 26-year-old Santos has been one of the few surprises in White Sox camp striking out nine in five-and-two-thirds of scoreless work. His dominating pitching is only ...

Now That Mavericks Are Healthy, Injury Bug Is Really Hurting Them
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Alex McVeigh in NBA
Remember the good times, Mavs fans?
Back on March 13, the world was our oyster. The Mavs had won 13 straight, despite crucial players like Jason Terry, Jason Kidd, Caron Butler, Erick Dampier and Brendan Haywood missing games.
We all figured, "hey, this is just super, once we're all healthy, the Mavs are really going to start laying a beatdown on the league."
But alas, it wasn't to be.
Now that the Mavs are ...
The Tyler Colvin Saga: Through the Decade With Cubs Spring Hopefuls
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Bob Warja in MLB
The name of the Cubs spring training facility, HoHoKam, literally means "those who vanished". That is appropriate as we embark on a journey of past Cubs spring training stars and "can't miss kids" who did.
The current spring star is Tyler Colvin, who is ranked third in the National League in hitting this spring, at .440. While this is great for the kid, and Paul Sullivan has Colvin making the ...
Sabres Face Tough Contest Friday in Push toward Playoffs
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Michael Licata in NHL
The Buffalo Sabres continue to showcase late-period heroics. They scored two late goals on Wednesday and beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 in a shootout.
It gave the Sabres a seven-point lead over the Ottawa Senators heading into Friday's game against the Sens. Ten games remain in the season and if the Sabres get two points out of the contest, the division title would all but be locked up.
The right players are ...
Anaheim has faltered tragically on their current road trip. The only problem is...they have no room for failure.
As hard as it is to see the Ducks lose.
It's even harder seeing them miss the post season all together. While they aren't technically out of it yet, elimination is definitely on its way.
I still think this missed opportunity is a positive for various reasons. However it is still hard to accept that hockey is ending two months earlier than ...
San Diego Chargers Draft 2010: Finding a Complimentary Back
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Paul Preibisius in NFL
The San Diego Chargers enter the draft with running back as a glaring need. They are virtually assured to draft a running back within the first 2-3 rounds in an attempt to find a new lead-back to replace Ladainian Tomlinson.
In addition, it would not be altogether surprising if San Diego were to spend one of its later picks (4-7) on an additional running back who can compete for ...
NHL: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, Top 10 Flashes in the Pan
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Daniel Sallows in NHL
Over the years, we have witnessed players come into the NHL and perform remarkably, only to disappear a short time later. I have often wondered how somebody could score 30 goals in the NHL, yet not stick around long enough to get their name stiched on the back of their jersey.
It makes you think, who could be the next player that will succomb to such a fate.
From the Toronto Maple ...
NBA: Five Teams Contenders Don’t Want to Play in the First Round
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Sachin Arora in NBA
The NBA playoffs are coming up, and there are many chances for upsets this year. The bottom teams in the West are separated by very little from the top, and the bottom teams in the East have been on a surge lately, with an exception of the Raptors and Bulls.
There are many teams who can pull off upsets and the contenders are praying that they don't land those match-ups. ...
