At the end of the 2008 season, Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez will be looking for a new contract. Seeing as he'll probably want something in the $14-million+ range, he may not get it from the Angels - especially considering the Yankees are expected to make a strong push for...

The Chicago Bulls may have another number they should hang from the rafters - 17.
After all, the number 17 has been pretty significant for the most important player in franchise history (and among the most important in the NBA) - Michael Jordan. Jordan was born on the 17th of February...

Do the Chicago Bulls really deserve any more draft luck after Michael Jordan fell into their lap in 1984? I know that was 24 years ago, but that's not even close to long enough to heal the wounds of Portland Trailblazer fans. Everyone knows about how the Blazers gave the Bulls...

Tonight, the NBA will be having its annual draft lottery. Every team who did not make the playoffs will be represented in the lottery - the worse a team's record, the more lottery balls they have assigned to them. It's really a unique draft system in sports - most other sports...

The Muffin is now on Verlander watch. The Justin Verlander of old - the one who went 17-9 in 2006, and 18-6 in 2007 - has been missing from the 2008 season. The imposter "Verlander" is posting numbers eerily similar to Barry Zito's. This "Verlander" has gone...
