Loading ...In case you just pushed the rock out from in front of your cave and didn’t know, the F-Word returns to Lambeau Field Sunday. As far as most Green Bay fans are concerned, going to play for the Minnesota Vikings was high treason and they hate him for it. But deep down in their football hearts, if they care [...]
As a Mets fan, I have trouble putting into words how excited I am about the Yankees vs Phillies World Series. It’s like asking me to choose between slamming the car door on my hand and stepping on a rusty nail. Seriously, can we just skip the games and award the trophy to one of the [...]
The Dodgers started the year as the best team in baseball. They finished the year by losing badly to the Phillies in the NLCS, again. So where did it all go wrong? There’s plenty of blame to go around: Manny Ramirez – After arriving as The Messiah in 2008, Manny was The Mess in 2009. It [...]
Call it Deja Vu. Or Dodger Vu. Or Deja Blue. Whatever you call it, NLCS Game 4 in 2008 and NLCS Game 4 in 2009 were so similar it was scary. Talk about history repeating itself, check this out: NLCS Game 4 The game was played on Monday, October 13, 2008. The Dodgers’ starter had a [...]

David Carr has had his share of ups and downs in football.

If you blinked, you might’ve missed them, but if you saw them, you won’t ever forget them. To err is Holliday human. The Dodgers swept the Cardinals thanks to one [...]
Sporting events are very much like movies. There are comedies, dramas, horror shows and more. The starting script generally gets rewritten. Even if we have a pretty good idea of how it will end, we are still able to enjoy and feel we got our money’s worth. While they might not be nominated for academy awards, this weekend some teams and players looked [...]
There’s a saying that it’s better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. Somebody should pass it along to the St. Louis Cardinals, who managed to embarrass themselves more with their postgame comments than with their 9th inning meltdown against the Dodgers. In case [...]
On Wednesday night, the Dodgers pounded Cardinals’ ace Chris Carpenter, shut down sluggers Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday and won Game 1 of the NLDS, 5-2.
