NFL OPINION; THE LOMBARDI CLUB

So I am like most NFL fans during this first post NFL week. I MISS FOOTBALL! The Super Bowl is over and we are left to wait for the NFL draft, the Peyton Manning saga to sort itself out, the Redskins to do something utterly stupid ( yet to be determined), Rex Ryan to declare the Jets Champs, etc. But I love NFL football. Hence a conversation I had recently with a good friend. Our...

Love is baseball field

It’s February. The month of love. For couples. And for baseball fans. As the title of this blog suggests, baseball is my boyfriend. I have been head over heels in love with the Texas Rangers for nearly seven years. (Let’s see if we survive the seven-year itch. I think we will.) It’s been an interesting, but wonderful ride. Our relationship is not without disappointments...

Is Baltimore a good fit for Randy Moss?

Former Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans receiver Randy Moss announced Monday he’d like to come back to the NFL after retiring before the 2011 season. That brings up the question of where will Moss play in 2012? Of course because I write about the Ravens I’m going to analyze it from the Baltimore point of view. Moss, at his...

RSBS Turns Four!

Four years ago today, I wrote the first post in RSBS history.  It was terrifyingly awful.  What terrifies me even more is that at that time in 2008, I had incredibly high hopes for the Tigers’ upcoming season based on some high-profile acquisitions they had made.  Four years later, I’m still haunted by that 2008 season and experiencing no small amount of deja vu...

MLB Predictions: Breaking Down the 2012 Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves were a playoff team in 2011 until the final day of the season when they lost to the Philadelphia Phillies then were eliminated by the St Louis Cardinals in a one game playoff. After having a 9 1/2 game lead for the Wild Card on August 25th, the Braves blew their lead. There was good news for Atlanta though. Craig Kimbrel emerged as a closer and won the Rookie of...

MLB Rumors: Phillies President Says Extending Hamels Contract Isn’t Difficult

The Philadelphia Phillies need Cole Hamels. Hamels is arguably the best starting pitcher to come through their farm system and pitch for their team since Hall of Famer Robin Roberts. Hamels just avoided arbitration but is set to become a free agent at the end of the 2012 season. Team president David Montgomery put the Delaware Valley at ease today saying he thinks an extension will...

2011 Dallas Cowboys season in review

It is really hard to evaluate the middle of the NFL pie each year. The Cowboys were 8-8 in 2011 and in the playoff race until late in the 2011 season. A year ago they were 6-10 and that means they were two games better. That means they are probably getting better. However, they still need a little something to get over the hump and be a legit playoff contender. They may be on that...

Will Domonique Foxworth be back with Ravens in 2012?

The Ravens entered the 2011 season with questions about their secondary. Those questions never made a lot of sense to me, but they were among some local and national media outlets. Baltimore’s pass defense ended the season ranked fourth in the NFL, allowing just 196.2 yards per game. A mix of youth (Lardarius Webb, Cary Williams and Jimmy Smith) and experience (Ed Reed and...

Et Tu, Molina? (Pars Duo)

A few years ago I wrote a cautionary piece foretelling the eventual departure of one Yadier Molina — SUPREME JEFFY MANCRUSH — if the Cardinals somehow didn’t resign Albert Pujols to a long, career stabilizing contract. I wrote it flippantly, thinking this will never happen in real life. And then real life hit. Albert Pujols is gone and Yadi doesn’t seem to...

MLB Opinion: Grading the Phillies Offseason

Phillies GM Ruben Amaro needs to make the Phillies younger if he hopes to stay atop of the N.L. East. The Philadelphia Phillies tied a franchise record with 102 wins in 2011. Despite a disappointing early exit from the playoffs, the team enters 2012 as the favorites to win the National League East and the pennant. Their division has become more competitive as the Miami Marlins and...

MLB Opinion: Yoenis Cespedes Can Be an Impact Player in the Bigs

The latest rumor in the Yoenis Cespedes sweepstakes has the Miami Marlins offering less than $40 million for the Cuban defector. While Cespedes has yet to negotiate with any other teams, a $40 million price tag seems reasonable for 6 years for the 26 year old. Cespedes can not sign a contract until he is unblocked by OFAC (Office of Foreign Asset Control) and the list of additional...

LaIndianfan: The poor Central Divisions, the not so poor Cleveland Indians, and the poor ones

Looking at major league baseball just before the start of Spring Training: The National League East has strong Philadelphia, the competitive Braves, the improved Marlins, the upcoming and improved Nationals, and the poor Mets. The NL Central lost Pujols and Fielder and there does not appear to be a super strong team in the division. The NL West teams like the Rockies and Diamondbacks...

MLB Opinion: Can You Imagine the Red Sox without Wakefield and Varitek?

The Boston Red Sox invited long tenured players Tim Wakefield and Jason Varitek to Spring Training. Both players have played a big part in the Sox success over the last decade. But at 45 and 39 respectively, both are contemplating retirement. It is hard to imagine the Red Sox without them, but 2012 could be another changing of the guard in Beantown. Wakefield came to the Red Sox...
