The Major League Baseball season has been going on for almost two full months now, and so far there have been a few different things going on that we don’t usually see every day, or even every year. Let’s take a look at this year’s strange MLB events from April through May, buttt mostly from the past few days: 1. Hopefully you already read about Lackey’s short pitching outing. For those of you who missed it read it here. 2. As most of you know, the American League uses Designated … [Read more...]
short pitching outing for the L.A. Angels [by Ivan]
May 17, 2009 By 2 Comments
The Los Angeles Angels, a team many people predicted to do well this year, got off to an interesting start last Saturday when they played the Texas Rangers. The Angels have been in second place in the AL West behind the Texas team, but now with the return of Ervin Santana and ace John Lackey, they are looking to moving back up top. Lackey made his season debut against the Texas Rangers at Saturday's game, and he did not last long. He only lasted two pitches to be exact. Lackey returned … [Read more...]
A Mother’s Day Marathon of Sports [by Jeff Dale]
May 11, 2009 By 2 Comments
Last year we had the Red Sox epic comeback from five runs down in the bottom of the ninth. This year we got another memorial Mother’s Day in the form of three wins from the boys from Boston. First the Black and Gold got on the board with an early 1-0 lead on account of a pretty give-and-go from Phil Kessel and Marc Sarvard. The B’s went on to win 4-0, thanks to Tim Thomas stoning the Canes all night long. During the game I asked my buddy Murph (huge B’s fan) whether Claude would … [Read more...]
Sweepstakes Addictions
April 19, 2009 By 5 Comments
I have always been a big sweepstakes, contests, can-collecting, and picking-pennies-off-the-ground kinda girl. I am not ashamed to pick up a recyclable or any loose change left on the floor somewhere. As of right now, I actually have more than$100 in my piggy bank. As a young'n I used to win coloring contests and gift giveaways all the time. After spending lots of money on scratch tickets and lottery tickets I feel like the magic has somewhat worn off, but I still think that maybe one day I … [Read more...]
Opening day [by Steve]
April 8, 2009 By 3 Comments
Ladies and Gentlemen-- welcome to Opening Day of the 2009 Major League Baseball season, perhaps the sweetest words of every year. Opening Day in and of itself is in the top five most magical days of the year, and is number one in the sporting world. Not enough can be said about the excitement and energy level of a Game 7 in any sport or a Super Bowl, but nothing matches the level of Opening Day. It doesn't just mark the start of a new baseball season, but it is a turning point in the lives of … [Read more...]

Josh’s Final Four predictions
April 2, 2009 By 9 Comments
It's March Madness Tourney Time, and nothing is better. I had the pleasure of attending the Villanova vs. Pittsburgh game last Saturday night. Villanova ended up winning 78-76 with a finger roll layup with .5 seconds left in the second half, just after Fields (Pitt) hit two free throws to tie the game. Unfortunately, I was pulling for Pittsburgh because I had them winning the whole tournament in my money bracket. I have to give respect to the Villanova fans. Nearly 90 percent of the T.D. … [Read more...]

Connecticut Yankee vs. a Syracuse court [by Chris]
March 14, 2009 By 7 Comments
They're calling it the greatest non-tournament game ever played. After six overtimes and almost four hours of basketball, a team that hadn't led for any of the first 25 minutes of overtime, tasted victory when Syracuse toppled the University of Connecticut. I wouldn't know. My focus was on the tan and attractive 2003 Syracuse graduate sitting beside me at The Heritage in Lenox. I grew up in West Hartford, Conn. with season tickets to UConn home games in Hartford, then went to Syracuse, … [Read more...]
