Delmon Young Double Gets Minnesota Twins Back To Winning Ways
Posted: 2nd July 2010 by Andrew Kneeland in MLB
In a pitchers duel, it doesn't take much to shift the balance of the game. For the Minnesota Twins Friday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, two key base hits provided a lead that they would refuse to relinquish.
Minnesota's Scott Baker managed to scatter several hits from the potent Ray's offense with minimal damage on the scoreboard. Working an effective slider and a fastball with plenty of bite, Baker managed ...
Do the Detroit Lions Have One More Big Trade Up Mayhew’s Sleeve?
Posted: 2nd July 2010 by Ryan Steck in NFL
Twenty-eight-year old Logan Mankins, the left guard for the New England Patriots, is asking to be traded. The reason for his request is simple; he doesn't feel the Patriots front office has kept their word to him.
Apparently, last offseason Patriots brass asked him to play out the 2009 season, the final year of his rookie deal, instead of honoring Mankin's request to negotiating an extension.
Mankins felt that he outplayed the ...
Remember Brian Bruney? He is well known in New York for his comments about Francisco Rodriguez last year. If you don’t remember, this is basically what happened:
After K-Rod blew his first save last year, when Luis Castillo dropped the pop up against the Yankees, Bruney said, "It couldn't happen to a better guy on the mound, either. He's got a tired act."
Because of this comment, the two almost fought before ...

NBA Free Agency Rumors: Cavs, Byron Scott Set to Speak with LeBron James
Posted: 2nd July 2010 by Eric Felkey in NBA
The most coveted free agent in the NBA has met with the Nets, Knicks, Heat, and Clippers over the last two days.
And regardless of what ESPN would have you believe (has the word "Cavs" even been mentioned in their 1,497 different shows on free agency?), he will also meet with his home town team Saturday morning.
At 11 am, the Cavs (and presumably new head coach Byron Scott) will meet with ...
Rose To Be Traded?
Yo, I keep hearing radio personalities expanding on the idea that Derrick Rose should be placed on the trading block to acquire the big-three in this year's Free Agency— in order for the money to enable the stars to play together.
I understand Wade is ball-dominant, so as LeBron James, but if this were to happen, there is no way Rose would be made available.
I'd rather keep my Rose and ...

Daily Haze: Vincent Jackson Suspended Amidst Swirling Trade Rumors
Posted: 2nd July 2010 by Michael McNeil in NFL
When I first mentioned that the Chargers might dump Vincent Jackson since he refuses to sign his tender, I was not really sold on that happening. I mean, he is San Diego's best wide receiver and all.
Sure, he has some off-the-field issues and could not overcome Darrelle Revis in the NFL playoffs last season, but he also has become the team's best wide receiver. No way the Chargers trade him, ...
NFL Free Agency: Five Reasons Why the New York Jets Should Sign JaMarcus Russell
Posted: 2nd July 2010 by tank jones in NFL
JaMarcus Russell is a free agent who is said to be preparing in Arizona for a return to the NFL. The former No. 1 overall pick almost certainly will get a second chance. He has all the skills to become a good NFL quarterback.
The Jets are also taking a look at Mark Brunell, who is the favorite. They also have Kellen Clemens.
The Jets would be wise to consider ...
Jeff Keppinger: Under-The-Radar MLB Player on Under-The-Ground Team
Posted: 2nd July 2010 by Denton Ramsey in MLB
When talking about under-the-radar players in Major League Baseball this season, Houston’s Jeff Keppinger should be a reoccurring name—regardless of the Astros awful overall record.
Houston doesn’t need a newspaper column with a photo of a graveside and RIP to know their season is practically over.
Fans, writers, and announcers for the Astros have already swallowed that reality pill and realize Houston is in the process of rebuilding.
And that’s putting it nicely.
But ...
