Beginning the previews

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

With baseball season rapidly approaching and not much else going on because it’s early in the week, why not throw down some knowledge and picks for one of baseball’s divisions? Let’s start with the easiest to call, the AL West.
Why’s it so easy to call? Because Anaheim will run away with the crown just like [...]

One hell of a game

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Firstly, I have to say that Villanova did their best to lose that game. Be it their needless fouling in the second half, their inability to match up with the monstrous DeJuan Blair, their poor decisions and that damned Hail Mary attempt to inbound the ball with 10 seconds left and up by two, well [...]

Onto the Eight

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

I hope you didn’t have Memphis or Duke going too far because your bracket would be looking more busted than usual now. The two No. 2’s that a lot of people no doubt took, went down in flames. Villanova clearly outplayed a vastly over-matched Duke squad but the Memphis loss is a bit puzzling. How [...]

Start up the madness, already!

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Football

With the NCAA starting up again tonight (Go Villanova!) and a fantasy baseball draft to prepare for at noon (Go Whitefish!), I’ve just got a few tidbits today…
Roger Goodell, your league was ravaged by injuries worse than ever last season, why would you want to expand the season? Oh, I forgot, you’re a greedy bastard [...]

Baby stories

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Basketball

Well, I never would have thought that I would writing about two different child-related stories in the same day that didn’t involve Travis Henry, but it actually happened.
It hasn’t been the greatest year for Chris Bosh. Sure, in 2008 he won a Gold Medal in Beijing, started out the NBA season on a tear and [...]

Japan wins a boxing title?

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

For a tournament that supposedly no one in North America watched, the WBC turned out to be pretty entertaining. Not to be confused with one of the many different boxing championships out there (WBC, WBA, IBF, etc.) the World Baseball Classic delivered some good games despite the time of year and numerous turned down invitations [...]

No coincidence

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

People might call this a coincidence, but I would hope it would set a positive trend in the NHL; the Detroit Red Wings only have had 10 fights thus far this season compared to the Anaheim Ducks who have had 75. The biggest difference in the teams? The Red Wings have 105 points, good for [...]

So how’s your bracket?

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

After an amazing four solid days of basketball, there’s a well needed lull in NCAA action. Really, I don’t know if I could’ve kept up with all these games had they gone straight into the Sweet Sixteen matches today and, quite frankly, the players probably would’ve dropped dead too. The difference is the players would’ve [...]

The President’s picks

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Just when I was feeling good about North Carolina as my NCAA pick, the president of the United States took them. Apparently, getting the leader of the free to pick basketball is somewhat entertaining for some, but really, he’s just one of the guys like you or I. But now that this guy, who happens [...]

Good bye, Chief

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Say it ain’t so, Chief Kickingstallionsims. It’s too bad, but before the NCAA tournament has really gotten going, the best name of the tourney has been bounced. With Morehead State defeating Alabama State in the play-in game, the 64-team field is set and Louisville now knows who they’ll embarrass in their opening round match up. [...]
