Perfection, again

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Just when you thought we were safe from having another piece of history break out, Roy Halladay goes and tosses a perfect game. Yes, that would be the 18th official one of all-time and the second this season. Heck, it’s the third in the past 12 months.
What is going on in baseball? Has it simply [...]

The Stanley Cup showdown

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey, Picks

The Stanley Cup final is finally here. Well, not technically yet, but at least we know which two teams will be facing off when the puck actually drops. It will be the seventh seed from the East, the Philadelphia Flyers against the No. 2 seed from the West, the Chicago Blackhawks.
So why is this post [...]

Cape Verde 0, Portugal 0

by Dan Bilicki In: Soccer

So, with mere weeks to go before the start of World Cup 2010, how confident could anybody be with Portugal right now? On Monday, they could only manage a scoreless draw against Cape Verde Islands, which I actually challenge you to guess where it is on a globe.
It’s not like this game was a true [...]

Floyd Landis: What a dope

by Dan Bilicki In: Uncategorized

So apparently it’s news now that a guy who was caught cheating has admitted that he’s a cheater? Well, not really, but now he’s hurling accusations around the already seedy world of professional cycling.
What he’s done, at this time is just plain dumb. Does he really care so little about damaging the sport that made [...]

Poor Germany

by Dan Bilicki In: Soccer

It’s not too often that we pity the Germans, you know, after those two wars and all, but now might be a great time.
During the last game of the English football schedule, Chelsea’s Michael Ballack took a strong, late tackle and injured his ankle. He’ll be out at least eight weeks, leaving him out of [...]

NHL scheduling idiocy

by Dan Bilicki In: Ice Hockey

If it involves idiocy in a “major” league sport, it’s more than likely that the NHL is the culprit. Well, when it gets into this stage of the playoffs, with only two series going on, it should be fairly easily to coordinate things so that you have a game going every night.
Well, when the NHL [...]

The final fours

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Ice Hockey

I can’t remember the last time that both the NBA conference finals and the NHL conference finals have started on the same day. It seems because the NBA’s second round was shorter than expected with three sweeps and the NHL’s second round seriously dragged, we’re getting a nice syncing up of post-seasons. You can also [...]

LeBron as a good as gone

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

There was an overwhelming feeling over the past three days that we were witnessing a murder of sorts. Nobody personally died, but a city might have figuratively bit the dust with the Cleveland Cavaliers Game 5 loss at home on Tuesday and then Thursday night’s 94-85 loss at the hands of the Boston Celtics.
Yes, the [...]

An award for a cheater

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

So can Houston Texans linebacker/ PED user Brian Cushing now call himself a two-time defensive rookie of the year winner? After much ado over nothing, it now seems, a revote took place for the Associated Press’ award and, even if it wasn’t as big of a victory for Cushing as before.
Apparently, even after a positive [...]

Jays-Phillies series moved

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

As if the Toronto Blue Jays needed to handle any more hardship.
An outrage has been perpetrated onto citizens of Toronto and fans of the Blue Jays. Never have I seen a series be moved mid-season for anything other than a natural disaster. Like when the Dodgers were forced to play on the road after an [...]
