JOSE MESA RUMORS & GOSSIP

John Kasich remembers Jose Mesa’s World Series winning save, and the time Craig Ehlo blocked Michael Jordan’s shot …

Baseball According to Chris Wheeler

According to Chris Wheeler preserving a lead in the 9th inning is difficult; in his words, "closing is tough." He continually blurts this mindless crap over and over again as Phils fans endure numerous blown saves by Brad Lidge and now Ryan Madson.

If the Gladiators Pull This Off…

…Do we have to change our URL? How apropos would it be of Cleveland sports if Bernie Kosar moves a two-win Arena Football League team to Cleveland and it wins a championship? Alanis Morrisette would have to revise Ironic, as it would be simply mind-blowing. First the Cleveland Barons, then Force, and now an AFL team in its first year of existence? Count...
