Thanks to The Fanhouse for the find. Here's our boy The Crushernaut trying to get into the act with Burnie. You gotta love the customized UD Heat bowling shirt. Why can't they just let the man bowl?
This Soujla Boy crap is getting out of hand. It's always lovely to see...

The Florida Marlins refuse to sign a bonafide superstar but may be willing to overpay for a new catcher to replace Miguel Olivo. Yorvit Torrealba is the main target of the Florida Marlins for this offseason, looking for a more consistent option for Miguel Olivo to work with the young...

Don't get me twisted, I'm still not up for trading Miguel Cabrera but if there was one team who we should be doing business with, it's the desperate Dodgers. It was reported yesterday that the Marlins were shopping Cabrera during the trade deadline last season and the Dodgers...
Miggy Watch 2007 - Yankees Balk

| Comments
This is becoming a huge topic to me and I'm riding the fence on my Marlins fan hood if Miguel Cabrera is traded away this offseason. I probably sound like a bad fan but I've put up with the crap that has been pulled with this organization for close to 10 years now. I can'...
Cam Cameron is a Selfish Bastard

Yeah I said it. I know I try to keep it fairly clean around these parts so pardon my "more obscene than normal" post title. Cameron has finally done it. He has shown the Dolphin fans that he cares more about saving his job then looking towards the future. Look, I can understand...

This is starting to turn out to be a nice rivalry between the Hurricanes and Panthers. Apparently the Canes are not happy with the outcome of Wednesday's match in South Florida and have asked the league to review the 2 diving penalties called on Chad LaRose and Justin Williams...

I'm starting to wonder how out of control this dance craze is getting. They actually had a segment during a timeout at the Bank Atlantic Center on Wednesday for people to do the Soulja boy in the crowd. You would be amazed how many people knew what they were doing.

Carolina Divers: Eddie the Eagle Takes Flight

Since the Cats took on the Carolina Divers last night I figured I would try to round up that video of Ed Belfour imitating the Carolina Hurricanes during a match up at the BAC last year. If you didn't read, the Hurricanes were pretty pissed off with the diving calls in last nights...

Pat Riley came out and let it be known he is not happy with the way the NBA is putting together schedules the last few years, specifically the Heat's post 2006 championship run.

While he doesn't post on his blog often enough, Israel Gutierrez always comes through with some great insider information about the Heat. He was able to stick around for Heat practice yesterday and noticed how well D-Wade was moving around. Dwyane came out of practice telling reporters...
Everything's Coming Up A-Rod!
October 31, 2007 by
SporTech Matter
| Comments
I mentioned a week or so ago that the possibility of A-Rod coming to the Marlins is fairly slim, if only b/c the numbers involved will make Loria's head spin and prevent him from purchasing that next big piece of artwork. The more and more Miguel Cabrera rumors keep popping up...

What happens when a 6 foot 8 200+ pound Forward from the Miami Heat tries to slide into a new Smart Car from SmartCar USA? Pure hilarity ensues. It just doesn't look right fitting a man that tall into a car that small.
Miguel Cabrera Should Not Go Anywhere

| 1 comment
Not sure if anyone saw this asinine column that Clark Spencer (who obviously has nothing better to do at this point in the season) posted on the Herald last evening claiming a move of Cabrera to the Skankees is a possibility. Well no kidding Clark! Is this supposed to be considered...
Joe Girardi: Congrats But No Congrats

| Comments
I'm torn. I'm acting like a selfish little brat right now. I should be happy for Joe Girardi on grabbing the New York Yankees managerial position, but I'm not. Call me a bitter Marlins fan, but what should have been a follow up season to build on turned out to be a major...

Sirius radio is reporting that Ronnie Brown has indeed torn his ACL and as reported earlier, miss the remainder of the season. I have stayed away from draft talk because, well, damn it's only week 7! This news definitely sparks some draft talk. Considering Ronnie Brown may not...

After watching the completion of the Red Sox/Indians series I couldn't help but wonder what could have been with the Marlins pitching staff. What could have been with a rotation anchored by Josh Beckett, Brad Penny, Carl Pavano (that's subject to discussion) and Dontrelle Willis...

I managed to dig up the clip from the 2005 season when Josh Beckett ran into the same incident with Kenny Lofton. This time Lofton was with the Phillies. Beckett's quote after that 2005 game?

TGIF: Dan Marino Record Breaking Highlights

With Tom Brady heading into town this weekend with his baby momma Gisele Bundchen tagging along, I figured it would be a good idea to remind everyone (which shouldn't need reminding) that Dan Marino is the greatest quarterback to ever grace the football field. Yes, I am highly...

Peter King recently interviewed Jason Taylor and Taylor sees the writing on the wall. This is a rebuilding franchise and he would rather not be part of it.
"Clearly, Jason Taylor thinks not only would it be in the team's best interests, but also in his best interests"...
