It's late in the game. High Drama. The crowd is going crazy, chanting all sorts of things. The runner on second is a tall, lanky outfielder. The big outfielder wearing a number in the teens hears the crack of the bat, and makes his way to third. The third base coach waves him around...

As many of you now know, I am a big fan of guys that play the game the right way. Guys who respect the game. Guys who truly enjoy playing, and would play the game even if they weren't getting paid. Sure, there are many of these guys in the NBA today, but one guy exemplifies '...

This was Bartolo Colon's big time to shine, a time to show the world what he can do at the plate, an opportunity to transfer his 245lbs frame(that's what he's listed as?I'll take the over) into a home run hitting machine. At least that's what Colon was out to try...

It's always a great time to get a group of friends together and reminisce about past Red Sox teams and players. Trot Nixon was a always a guy who came up in conversation, and it's because of the way he played the game. Nixon was always one of those guys who gave it all he could...

In all fairness to the Boston Red Sox, as an AL team you would think that playing away verse an NL opponent immediately puts your team at a disadvantage. It might be exciting for the pitchers to hit, but let's be brutally honest, how many AL pitchers can actually swing a good bat...

OK folks. At what point do we just say "It's the ____ing Devil Rays" and move on? They play in a toilet bowl in front of 10,000 fans on a good night. Their manager wears designer glasses and is cut from the same cloth as Mike "I invented Baseball" Scioscia....

If their's something Boston fans have learned throughout the first 3 games of the NBA Finals, it's that European NBA players are annoying, more specifically, Sasha Vujacic and Pau Gasol. I'm not even talking about their game, it's their swagger, it's the constant...

The Boston Celtics are on their way to banner 17, but first, they must go into the Staples Center with the glitz, the glam, and the glory of Los Angeles. The Celtics have a 2-0 edge in the series and are in firm control. In my opinion, we need to take at least 1 game against Kobe and...
