New York Islanders Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Garth Snow is in a pickle. The New York Islanders' general manager has $27.534 million to spend come July 1 and a crop of promising, young talent on which to build around but he's missing the buzz. Empty seats, a run down enviorment, poor statistics and win record don't help entice players to call Nassau Coliseum home. (i.e. Christian Ehrhoff: FAIL; Evgeni Nabokov: FAIL) A second showing of M...

LAABTDATT. LAA Beating the Dodgers all the time.
Posted on 25 Jun 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
The Angels aren't that good of team. The Dodgers are down right bad. I never thought I would say that, but it is true. The Dodgers are making the Halos out to be the Yankees of yesteryear. Both teams are deficient in many areas, but the Angels have a much better nucleus than their boys up the freeway. Matt Kemp is the best player on either team, but he is only one guy. Andre Ethier isn't so bad...

Only One
Posted on 25 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
The Giants just need to be up by one run and instantly they win. No its not that simple but it seems to be that simple. The Giants have won one run games quite unusual in most cases but today's case may just be the one that takes the cake. Tony Sipp, the Indians reliever balked in the winning run with the bases loaded in the seventh inning of today's heated struggle with the Cleveland Ind...

Why Jagr Back To The Penguins Isn’t The Right Call
Posted on 21 Jun 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
There is a buzz around the ‘Burgh once again about former Penguins' superstar Jaromir Jagr eying a return to the NHL and possibly coming back to where it all started. Everyone I have talked to so far is excited about the possibility of Jagr returning after playing the past three years with Avangard Omsk of the Kontinental Hockey League. I offer this advice to the Jagr optimists: Be ...

Welcome Back, Jack
Posted on 21 Jun 2011 by Jon Melton.
õîááèò èëè òóäà è îáðàòíî TAMPA BAY — With the team slipping from his control more and more every day — and amid a season-high 10-game losing streak — Edwin Rodriguez decided Sunday morning that he had seen enough. The soft-spoken Marlins manager notified Larry Beinfest and others within the organization of his resignation shortly before the Marlins we...

MLB Power Rankings: Charlie Manuel and the Best Managers in Baseball
Posted on 14 Jun 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
We live in a society where we look at results. When a team is winning the manager is considered a good leader. When a team's losing, well, that manager might be headed for the unemployment line. They get paid the big bucks to make the tough decisions. When to tinker with the lineup, when to make a pitching change, when to pinch-hit, when to pinch-run, when to make a defensive substitut...

A Tale of Two Bobs: A’s Fire Geren
Posted on 10 Jun 2011 by Josh Muller.
Boy, what a difference a week makes. This time last week, the A’s were fresh off getting swept by the Yankees, still in the race for the AL West, and I was writing about how important the upcoming stretch of games was. Fast forward seven losses later, that stretch proved to be very important but for all the wrong reasons, Brett Anderson and Mark Ellis are on the DL for the foreseeable future,...

Turn Off the Lights Nate
Posted on 2 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
Nate Schierholtz tied the game in the ninth inning with two outs and hits the go-ahead single in the top of the 11th with two outs. Although Lincecum did have a poor outing, the Giants were actually able to score runs against the Cardinals. One of the things the Giants gained with this victory was Bruce Bochy's confidence in Nate Schierholtz, “His playing time has increased and it wil...

Philadelphia Phillies: The 10 Worst Teams in Franchise History
Posted on 11 May 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have 18 consecutive losing seasons, an all-time mark. As unbearable and agonizing as this is for Pirates fans, the Philadelphia Phillies had a 31-year stretch from 1918-1948 that defied logic. In those 31 years the Phillies had just one winning season (1932). And even that year they finished just 78-76. Just think about that for a second… 31 YEARS OF CONSISTENT TOR...

Don’t Stop Believing in Hanley Ramirez
Posted on 8 May 2011 by Brendan Tobin.
It’s getting pretty lonely on the Hanley Ramirez bandwagon. Fans are bailing fast on the Marlins shortstop. He finished his weekend with an unlucky 1 for 5 performance leaving his slash line at an unimpressive (.195/.291/.263). Fans and media are calling for manager Edwin Rodriguez to drop Ramirez in the order. The truth that fans have to realize is that the Marlins won’t go anywhere with...

Finally! Sox win finale vs Rays
Posted on 22 Apr 2011 by Shaun Balmer.
A great manager once said “We won a game yesterday. We win one today, that's two in a row. We win one tomorrow, that's called a winning streak” Thank you Lou Brown. The White Sox finally snapped a 7 game losing streak by winning the last game of a 4 game series against the Tampa Rays. During the losing streak the offense seemed to have fallen asleep. After the tremendous start ...

Penguins: The Matt Cooke Situation and Solution
Posted on 22 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
In the past year and a half, Matt Cooke has become more of a household name than he has throughout his entire career. However, for the 32-year old Toronto native, it's for all of the wrong reasons. Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that Cooke just received another suspension for his flying elbow on New York Ranger Ryan McDonagh. This suspension, his 5th of his career and ...
