It’s that championship time of year, folks. With soccer having handed out its’ biggest club crown, the attention now turns to North America and, first, a sport that logically should have wrapped up its season a month ago: Ice hockey. How they’re still selling a winter sport going into June, I don’t know, but I’m [...]
For a whole year now, we will call Barcelona the champions of champions. After a stunning defeat of defending champs Manchester United 2-0 yesterday, Barca won the European Champions league title. Essentially, it’s the Super Bowl of club football, a title that takes pretty much two years to win. Really, it might the hardest title [...]
It’s that time of the year in baseball. With teams closing in on the 50 game mark and contenders, pretenders, sleepers and the just plain bad have all pretty much been sorted out, we now have some basis on how to judge what will happen for the remainder of the season.
You can look at a [...]
If I had to point out the one reason why the Lakers were struggling this series against Denver, I couldn’t. Why? Because there’s not just one thing that’s doing them in. But, if I had to, I’d have to boil it down to a few key things: Their poor defence, their horrid free throw shooting [...]
If you wanted some good playoff basketball, you certainly got your share over the weekend. And thanks to the underdogs actually showing up, that Kobe-LeBron final isn’t looking so certain. Actually, it wouldn’t be too unrealistic to picture them both sitting home and watching the Magic and Nuggets see who can launch the most threes [...]
Well, there’s nothing like a good old day-long, will-he-won’t-he saga to distract me from how bad the Lakers had it last night. Seriously though, nobody can say that refs were on the Lakers’ side last night, especially in the fourth quarter. In fact, the refs were clearly slanted towards the Nuggets in Game 1 as [...]
Everyone who wrote off the Magic are eating humble pie today. After beating the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern final, Orlando proved that they are more than just fodder for LeBron James/
Not, only did they beat the Cavs, they beat them with the odds stacked heavily against them. Let’s all keep in mind [...]
Do you think it’s coincidence or the stars aligning? David Ortiz hit his first home run of the season last night against the Jays, a mere seven hours after I wrote a post about how he has yet to homer in 135 at bats this season (149 overall) and that even a relief pitcher named [...]
After last night’s action in Major League Baseball, Boston Red Sox slugger/folk hero David Ortiz now has one less home runs than Houston Astros veteran pitcher Russ Ortiz. That’s right, a spot starter who didn’t even play last season hit a home run last night. Big Papi, on the other hand, went 0-for-3 to drop [...]
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. After the NBA’s draft lottery last night, it looks like Blake Griffin will be taken by the Los Angeles Clippers first overall. The sad-sack Clips “overcame the odds” and moved up from third to first in the draft. The Sacramento Kings, who came into the lottery with [...]
