Posted: 4th July 2010 by Flushing Baseball Daily in MLB
The Mets had an excellent opportunity to guarantee at least a series split, maybe even a series win last night, but Francisco Rodriguez couldn’t hold it for them.
He, along with the Mets, try to rebound. Courtesy of NewYorkMets on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/NewYorkMets/status/17724997077 here is this afternoon’s lineup, with comments and notes from me:
1. Angel Pagan – CF Pagan stays in the leadoff spot because Jose Reyes still is unable to ...
One of my favorite old "Sportscenter" segments was their "Fact or Fiction" segment where an NBA/NFL/MLB/etc. analyst would give you his opinion on a subjective matter as if it were truly fact or fiction.
I enjoyed this segment because most of the time analysts gave wholly appropriate and logical reasoning behind their opinions. However, this segment also ran during the Sean Salisbury era so hearing his innate opinions ...
Approximately 1,500 fans packed the parking lot of Big Apple Pizza in Fort Pierce Saturday to watch Tim Tebow get a 'Key To The City' from Bob Benton the city's Mayor.

Last April, the New York Daily News reported that talks for point guard Tony Parker were going on between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Well, the talks and the rumors are starting to heat up again.
The experts and the oddsmakers at Brobury Sports labeled the Knicks as long shots to land LeBron James, but that won't stop the Knicks from ...
NBA Free Agents: Amar’e Stoudemire Is Type of Character New York Knicks Need
Posted: 4th July 2010 by Keith Schlosser in NBA
Aside from winning ballgames, the New York City market demands more from its athletes.
In fact, the athletes have a tendency to become more like celebrities, and how well they are perceived by the media is entirely up to them.
The above notion, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why Amare Stoudemire is a great fit for the Knicks.
By recruiting the league’s top free agents, the Knicks are obviously trying to improve their ...
To commemorate the 4th of July, I dug up 4 key moments from 2009 that could have made all the difference for the Miami Dolphins.
Finishing at 7-9 was a severe disappointment for the fans and players, who were hoping to successfully defend their AFC East title of a year prior. It was particularly heartbreaking in light of the fact that several of the team's losses came cruelly packaged with ...
After the 1950 season, Joe DiMaggio was asked to select his greatest game. DiMaggio explained that he had to choose two games because each involved the fans. "I will compromise and pair two thrills as my greatest. They have one thing in common: both were given to me by the fans." DiMaggio selected the penultimate game of the 1949 season played ...
