The feel good story of the Golden State Warriors could be ending very soon as the Jazz ran them down to pick up a 115-101. This gives Utah a 3-1 series lead going home tomorrow night where they figure to be tough to beat. It looks like the Cinderella story of the NBA playoffs is [...]
The building formerly known as the SkyDome featured an unexpected pitching clinic and some bush league errors that cost the Blue Jays a win. Shawn Marcum and Jae Seo duelled in a fashion you’d expect to see from the likes of a Pedro Martinez or a Greg Maddux. Seo only gave up two hits in [...]
Unsurprisingly, Team Canada won the gold medal at the IIHF championships. If there was a championship I less interested in recently, I’d tell you about it. But there isn’t. Why should I care again? The most news-worthy, ergo, interesting, aspect of the tournament was the fact that some dumb politicians decided to complain about the [...]
The same day that it was announced that their closer B.J. Ryan underwent surgery to repair his injured pitching elbow, the Jays keep on sinking by losing 8-0 to the their division rival Boston Red Sox. This season is looking more and more like a lost cause as they’ve fallen to a dismal13-21; eight whole [...]
I’ve been waiting to watch some actual great playoff hockey and I’ve finally found it. After viewing as much of game one between Buffalo and Ottawa while cranking out baseball pages for the paper, I realized that this is what hockey should be like. Plenty of scoring chances, a good, quick game combined with just [...]
Is it just me or is the Utah Jazz probably the most adaptable team in the West. They get into the playoffs without a real identity and are loaded with good rotation of all-around skilled players. Last night in Utah, they were able to run with the fast-paced Golden State Warriors and delivered some clutch [...]
For some reason, Drew Gooden is still rocking that ridiculous soul patch on the back of his head that really just makes him look like an idiot. But it doesn’t really matter how you look when your team keeps on winning in the playoffs. Last night the Cavaliers handled the Nets to take a 2- [...]
Josh Beckett became the first pitcher in the majors to reach 7 wins last night when the Red Sox rolled into Toronto and put a beat down on the Blue Jays. This improves his record to 7-0, making him the first pitcher since the seventies to hit that mark. The loss also put the Jays [...]
I’ll be the first to admit that I watched as little of the second round of NHL playoffs as I probably could. I would love to say things like Buffalo looked good or this team got screwed but I can’t. Maybe it’s my fault, maybe it’s the media’s fault (which is still partly my fault [...]
The Yankees found a remedy to their much maligned pitching staff yesterday by signing Roger Clemens to a pro-rated one-year, $28 million contract. Clemens announced his return during the seventh inning stretch at the Yankees-Mariners game to a much delighted crowd. While the Rocket does turn 45 years old during this season, he’s still considered [...]
