Not Pulling Their Weight: 10 MLB Stars Having Poor 2010 Seasons
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Chris Miller in MLB
Baseball is a funny game, the line that separates the all time greats, and the unknowns is far more thin than in any other sport.
In a game where the best in world fail seven out of ten times, you need a little luck on your side. For some, that luck never comes. For others, it shows up, only to leave again like a cruel mistress in the night,
Here are ...
Seattle GM Jack Zduriencik Must Take Some Blame For Mariners’ Poor Start
Posted: 7th May 2010 by Chris Miller in MLB
Well my friends, another series has come and gone for the Seattle Mariners, and the result remains the same. Swept. This time by the Tampa Bay Rays. The final game of the series, an 8-0 shellacking, saw them once again fail to push any runs across the plate.
Not even the return of Cliff Lee has been able to inspire the M's, who appear to be nothing more than a ...
A Rare Reason for Pittsburgh Penguins Fans to Cheer for the Philadelphia Flyers
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Chris Miller in NHL
I'm not going to lie.
Right now, I'm a Philadelphia Flyers fan.
And as I say such a thing, a certain few that read this may indeed regurgitate a little something that didn't have a chance to make it all the way down.
As a dedicated Pittsburgh Penguins fan through thick and thin, through all the pain and glory from the last two decades, I admit I have committed a regional sin.
But I ...
Santonio Holmes: Is “Kill Yourself” Twitter Rant Foolish but Justified?
Posted: 31st March 2010 by Chris Miller in NFL
To quote Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes via Twitter towards a fellow member: "y u tryna make me look like the bad guy. U shud try finding the worst thing that you could drink n kill urself."
The message, directed towards member DMKayser, probably resulted from what might have been a hostile comment directed towards Holmes regarding his current legal situation.
Nevertheless, it is a development that is sweeping across the ...
The Naked Truth: Dorell Wright Aside, Miami Heat Undressing Opponents
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Chris Miller in NBA
March and April is the perfect time for a basketball team to get hot.
The Miami Heat are currently 11-3 in March, and pending the outcome of Wednesday's contest with the Detroit Pistons, the team could come within one victory of their total winning output in January and February—combined.
The Heat are rolling at the appropriate time. Despite Dorell Wright's recent headlines regarding a nude photo surfacing over the web and a ...
Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals: Play Winter Classic at Beaver Stadium
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Chris Miller in NHL
The Pittsburgh Tribune Review has reported the Pittsburgh Penguins are "a leading candidate" to host the annual Winter Classic game in 2011.
The game would be played at Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers , and although PNC Park, home to the Pittsburgh Pirates , had inquired about hosting the event as well, officials ruled out the baseball park due to its limited seating capacity.
Sorry PNC Park, it's all about ...

Posted: 29th March 2010 by Chris Miller in NHL
Martin Brodeur is in the process of opening up a new establishment, one which will be known as the "600 Win Club."
This season, the New Jersey Devils' goaltender broke his own record of seasons with 40 or more wins, resetting the bar to an incredible eight years.
Despite an injury preventing Brodeur from starting the majority of games last season, the net-minder has returned this season to rewrite the record books ...
Miami Heat: More Ideal Opponent in First Round, Boston Celtics or Orlando Magic?
Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Chris Miller in NBA
For Miami to extend their season, not only will they have to solidify a playoff spot, but they will have to draw the Boston Celtics or Orlando Magic in the first round.
Let's be realistic. The Miami Heat are not destined to win an NBA championship in 2010.
It's just not going to happen.
However, fans aren't about to give up on the team, or believe the fact that basketball season ...

Sepulveda recently interviewed with 93.7 "The Fan" and engaged in a variety of topics.
The punter discussed coming back from ...
Pittsburgh Penguins: Division Leading Record Oozing With Deception
Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Chris Miller in NHL
The Pittsburgh Penguins are on pace for one of their best point totals in franchise history.
The statistic, at this point, is totally misleading.
The defending Stanley Cup champions are comfortably in position for a playoff spot with under 10 games remaining in the season, yet hiding within this exceptional record lies a trend of performance a casual fan may overlook.
This team lacks extreme motivation and the necessity of rising to the ...
