The Phillies are the defending champs, but will Cole Hamels and his gimpy elbow stand strong enough, long enough, to continue winning the war-of-words with the Mets?

Ten Things I Hate About Spring Training

I fall for it every year. Every season, I get excited for the advent of a new baseball season and the reporting of pitchers and catchers, and I turn practically giddy watching my first spring training game of the year. Then that game ends and I realize that I still have a month left before meaningful baseball begins.

My Worst Nightmare: A Day In The Life Of A Clippers Fan

It isn’t easy rooting for the most pathetic team in NBA history. I can’t think of many things more trying on a person’s sanity.

How ‘Bout Them… Bills???

Say what you will about Drew Rosenhaus, the man knows how to get a contract signed. Barely days after the Dallas Cowboys dropped controversial retarded wideout Terrell Owens, the Buffalo Bills have reportedly signed Owens to a 1 year deal, worth $6.5 million guaranteed.

Bears love honey, but they also love the Got Mail? blog.

It’s been too long since our last Got Mail? blog. Our inbox is starting to get full, which is when I know it’s time to power up, and pump out another edition. And knowing is half the battle.

2009 MLB Preview: AL Central

Happy Manny Day everyone!

I decided to celebrate Manny Day ’09 by writing this preview while wearing my authentic home No. 99  jersey. Am I a little old to be wearing jersey outside of the ballpark?
