Bob Kraft is a Smooth Criminal

By Jon ⋅ July 2, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I realize that I’ve already written about the demise of Michael Jackson, among others, but what I didn’t tell you before is that there is a peculiar link between our New England Patriots and the King of Pop.
According to reports published in 2005, the Sullivan family’s ill-fated backing of Jacko’s “Victory” tour forced them to [...]

Mike Lowell on the DL, Time to Panic?

By Melissa ⋅ July 1, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Mike Lowell went ahead with the Synvisc shot on Monday in order to help alleviate the pain in his hip, a leftover side effect from the surgery he had last October. Although the procedure went well, and doctors additionally removed 15 cc’s of fluid from the area, it’s still unclear whether that may be enough.

Stop Laughing Right Yao: Could the Rockets Center be Done for?

By Jon ⋅ June 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

So, this might not directly affect us as Celtics fans, but anytime someone of Yao Ming’s stature looks like he could be leaving the NBA, it causes ripples. The giant Chinese superstar suffered a hairline fracture of one of the bones in his foot during a playoff loss against the Lakers in Houston. Initial reports [...]

My 2009 MLB All-Star Ballot

By Adam ⋅ June 30, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

It’s the time of year again when somehow ESPN believes John Kruk, Steve Phillips, and many other wannabe experts can tell you who should be on the MLB All-Star team. The other night I was trying to catch highlights of an Albert Pujols home run and Baseball Tonight was trying to push the meme of [...]

Is Rodney Harrison A Hall-of-Famer?

By Teddy ⋅ June 27, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Does someone with the stigma of being one the dirtiest players in NFL history deserve a place in the Hall of Fame? For many New Englanders, the answer would be an absolute yes.
For six seasons, Rodney Harrison was a definitive leader on the field for the Patriots. He was a two-time Superbowl Champion, two-time pro-bowl [...]

Cirque du Manny

By Jon ⋅ June 24, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Further evidence that baseball’s steroid crackdown is every bit as draconian as you thought it was: Manny Ramirez entertained a 15,000-strong crowd by brilliantly striking out and grounding out last night as the newest member of the Albuquerque Isotopes, despite his suspension. For his next trick, he leapt tall buildings with a single bound, and [...]

Who’s in Charge in the Bronx? Cashman Sits A-Rod

By Jon ⋅ June 23, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

Is it just me, or is it a whole lot of fun to compare the Yankees and Red Sox organizations? On the one hand, an enlightened despotism under Theo, the boy-king, and on the other, a treacherous, backbiting cabal ruled by the madness of King George?
I mention this because Yanks GM Brian Cashman appears to [...]

Why the Red Sox Have Beaten the Yankees

By Adam ⋅ June 22, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I’d prefer to title this “How the Yankees have had bad timing against Boston.” Yes, it’s well documented that the Yankees have lost all eight meetings so far against the Red Sox. But, I think we need a further examination as to why the Red Sox have won all eight games to see if we [...]

Surprises of the Baseball Season

By Adam ⋅ June 15, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Now that we are approximately two and a half months in to the baseball season, each player’s statistics have begun to hold a little bit more weight. Thus, we can begin to analyze some of the more unlikely numbers of the season so far.

Tied with Freddy Sanchez for the lead in doubles, Adam Lind [...]

Citi Field: My First Impression

By Adam ⋅ June 8, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

After checking out the new stadium in the Bronx I wanted to check out the new home of the New York Mets. Now, my latest chance to see a game at Citi Field was going to be to wait until the Giants came into town and to buy tickets to see Tim Lincecum make the [...]

NHL vs. Balsillie Case Has Large Implications

By Adam ⋅ June 1, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

When the Phoenix Coyotes announced their impending bankruptcy and that the team would be sold, I don’t think anyone could have imagined that the Coyotes would suddenly be the source of excitement for the first time since it was announced Wayne Gretzky was going to be coach of the team.
However, Jim Balsillie’s intent to buy [...]

The New Yankee Stadium Experience

By Adam ⋅ May 27, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Recently I had a chance to check out the new Yankee Stadium as I went to see the Yankees play the Orioles. Unfortunately, I did not arrive before the game due to the limited amount of time I had to check out the stadium. However, I was able to get a decent impression of the stadium, and saw enough [...]

Brett Favre Should Stay Retired

By Adam ⋅ May 26, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Brett Favre has found a way to hijack more off-season football news once again after a retirement. His biceps tendon in his throwing arm is torn, but he won’t get surgery so that his hope of proving to the Packers that they need him will live on. Brett Favre has even tired out his #1 fan [...]

A-Rod’s First Full Week Since Return

By Adam ⋅ May 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Alex Rodriguez returned last week after missing a little over a month of the season due to hip surgery. He hit a home run in his first plate appearance on the very first pitch and made Suzyn Waldman wax poetic like she had just seen Roger Clemens in George Steinbrenner’s box. And, yes, every Yankees [...]

My Trip to Wrigley Field

By Adam ⋅ May 11, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

One of my main objectives this year was to make sure that I got to see more live baseball at ballparks and at various parks. Going to Spring Training this year, as I previously talked about, helped out with that a lot.
I had already planned on making the trip to Chicago to visit my friend, [...]
