Talk about hanging a crooked number on a team. Last night, the Cleveland Indians showed the world that the Kansas City Royals may not be on the road to recovery like many believe. The evidence: A 19-1 final score including a ten-run fourth inning.
The game started with disaster for the Royals, with starter Kyle Davies [...]
After watching the Canadian federal Liberal party get absolutely crushed during Monday’s election, I tried to think of a sports comparison of what just happened. Well, there’re a few different routes you could go with this one.
Michael Ignatieff took over a party that was doing fine and led the, straight into the gutter. Sounds like [...]
Working in the sports department, this is one of those weeks that you both hate to love and love to hate. Just think about how much is going in this span of seven days. Well, it’s kind of actually eight days, but who cares?
First of all, three of North America’s biggest sports are in progress. [...]
What’s the beginning of a sport’s new season without some predictions that people can look back on and laugh at?
AL MVP: Alex Rodriguez, NYY
AL Cy Young: Jon Lester, BOS
AL rookie of the year: Brett Lawrie, TOR (Wishful thinking perhaps?)
AL manager: Buck Showalter, BAL
NL MVP: Albert Pujols, STL
NL Cy Young: Zach Greinke, MIL
NL rookie of the [...]
After looking at the younger, better American League on Wednesday, it’s time for the National League to get its due. At least San Francisco did well to help remove the Quadruple-A tarnish by winning it all last year, but overall, the talent in this league is still inferior.
NL East: The Phillies rotation is straight up [...]
Baseball season is nearly here and I’m sure you’ve been keeping up with Bill Lankhof’s season previews, covering every division and breaking down what teams will be up to. So, because Lanky already has the nuts and bolts down, I’ll try to break the coming season down quick hits style.
AL East: You can’t help but [...]
It’s very tough to feel bad for Albert Pujols not receiving a contract extension before his deadline elapsed on Wednesday. After all, he did reportedly turn down a deal in the neighbourhood of $200 over eight seasons.
I just don’t know why players like Pujols and the Jays’ Miguel Batista put these arbitrary deadlines before the [...]
What is the point in even taking defensive players to these all-star games anymore? It’s not like anybody actually tries to stop the other side from scoring. When was the last time you saw a real NHL game where the teams combined for 21 goals? Or when was the last time that two NFL teams [...]
Like any year in sports, a lot has happened in 2010. Since everybody else has chimed in with their two cents about what they liked and what mattered most, why not cop out for once — OK, maybe more than once — and throw down a list of my own favourite moments of the year.
Now, [...]
It’s so shocking I’ve needed a few days to get over it: Cliff Lee is back with the Phillies. Yes, Philadelphia now has four aces.
The Ex-Rangers southpaw spurned advances by Texas and the Yankees to return to the city of brotherly love, where he went to the World Series two seasons ago.
Apparently money and extra [...]
