In a move that could have helped Cleveland’s bullpen and raised the white flag at once, Mark DeRosa was sent to St. Louis for a young reliever named Chris Perez. DeRosa, the all out, “play ball like a kid,” kinda guy, gone. How could the trade possibly be worth it?
Insert Perez, the 24-year old righty [...]

The Three Mikes: After The Crowds Go Quiet
Written by Adam Best | June 30, 2009 | Comments (5) | Blog, The Best View
“I perform like Mike, any one — Tyson, Jordan, Jackson…” – The Notorious B.I.G on “Victory” I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and because of that I also grew up watching arguably the three biggest superstars of that era. The Three Mikes: Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson. I’m not sure there [...]
Diprivan May Have Been Given to Michael Jackson but Dan Haren All Natural
Written by AZScott | June 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Venom Strikes (DBacks)
No Diprivan here.
Pop Cultural Icon Michael Jackson may be reported to have taken the drug, however you won’t find any of that in Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Dan Haren. Haren pitched seven very strong innings tonight in a 6-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. He’s a pitching God and it’s all by natural doing.
Haren continued [...]

Written by Kevin Whalen | June 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Pucks and Pitchforks (Devils)
Well, I was wrong in predicting we would have a new coach by the end of today, but the Devil’s did do something to keep the fabric of their team together. Johnny Oduya signed a multiyear deal today locking him up in Jersey for the next three years. This wasn’t exactly on the top [...]
Training Camp One Month Away

We are about to turn the page into July. Activity will start picking up in the last part of the month in preparation for the start of training camp in Flagstaff on July 31st.
It’s hard to believe it has already been five months since the Super Bowl in Tampa. It is 75 days until the [...]

KJG’s 2009 NBA Free Agent Preview: Centers
Written by mattsnyder | June 30, 2009 | Comments Off | King James Gospel (NBA)
I choose to do this edition of our 2009 NBA Free Agent Preview last because I feel as though Center is the least important position the Cavaliers need to address. Trading for Shaquille O’Neal gives the Cavs two all-star centers, not to mention the highest paid back up center in the entire NBA. I think [...]
Andre Smith Doesn’t Want a Holdout
Written by David | June 30, 2009 | Comments Off | NFL, Stripe Hype (Bengals)
Cincinnati Bengals first round pick Andre Smith says that he wants to be in camp on time.
Good for him. I want him in on time. So do the Bengals, so does every other fan, so…here’s the question.
Are you, and your agent Alvin Keels, prepared to play ball by Mike Brown’s rules?
Contrary to popular perception, Brown [...]
One Last Thing For Billy Mays
Written by branthoughton | June 30, 2009 | Comments Off | That Balls Outta Here (Phillies)
Billy Mays, please don’t go yet! The Philadelphia Phillies still need you! In order for them to repeat as World Champions, they need you to sell something, for old times sake. Here’s the deal.
The Phillies have a couple of problems that desperately need solving. For one, they need an “A-list starter” in Charlie Manuels words. [...]
It’s Haley’s Way Or The Highway
Written by Arrowhead Addict | A Kansas City Chiefs Sports Blog | June 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs), NFL
Haley is a hard nosed, tough minded, accept no B.S., selfless kind of guy. He is not “touchy feely” like Vermiel, and does like to hear himself talk like Herm. If you haven’t noticed the Chiefs have sucked for many years now, and maybe, just maybe, Todd Haley’s despotism is …
Whitlock Should Ditch Complaints, Go Back To Gates
Written by Arrowhead Addict | A Kansas City Chiefs Sports Blog | June 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs), NFL
Originally, I planned that today’s column would be spent reviewing the attributes of our new assistants. However, after reading Jason Whitlock’s most recent article entitled “Chiefs loading up on secrecy,” I abandoned that topic. Instead, I have chosen to write a rebuttal to Mr. Whitlock.
First, let me say …
