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 [...]
Not even a week after trading away four prospects for slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and reportedly agreeing with him on a contract extension that will give him about $20 million per season, the Red Sox were at it again and splashed some big money at a big free agent.
The Boston Red Sox have reportedly [...]
This, right now, is the always the most interesting time of baseball’s off-season. Why? Because we have every team gathering at a nice hotel in a nice climate where they can discuss, amongst themselves or with agents, players on their teams and on their wishlists. Granted, there’s always a lot more talk than actual action, [...]
Wasn’t there supposed to some sort of debate in the MLB MVP races? Were we really supposed to get two landslide winners? The two award winners combed to collect 53 of a possible 60 first-place votes. Talk about a race, right?
In the National League, Joey Votto was nearly unanimous in taking his award, losing only [...]
The NHL should scrap its awards show. There, I said it.
Seriously, what’s the point of continuing to be the lone sport with a show like this? Just look at what Major League Baseball has been doing this past week or so: Announcing an award winner every day and keeping their sport in the spotlight. With [...]
San Francisco did it and they did it by beating the supposedly unbeatable. Yes, the Giants toppled Cliff Lee in the post-season – twice – and now are World Champions for the first time since moving out west more than 50 years ago.
How’d they do it? Typical for this MLB season, it was all about [...]
The World Series starts tonight and if there was only two things I could say about that, they would be: 1) This should be a great matchup and 2) It’s about time.
Seriously, does Major League Baseball not realize that Game 4 will take place on Halloween, almost ensuring that baseball will be played into November [...]
