The Aftermath of the Scott Kazmir Trade

Written by Dustin Staggers | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | MLB, Rays Colored Glasses (Rays)

I have taken a few days to write a post about the trade of Scott Kazmir for multiple reasons.

The trade supposedly fell through at one point
I needed proper time to read about low level minor league talent that I do not have an in depth knowledge of
The inclusion of the player to be named later [...]

Greg Oden & Andre Miller: Black or White?

Written by SJ | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Rip City Project (Blazers)

(First off, the idea for this post was ‘inspired’ by fellow FanSided bloggers Pippen Ain’t Easy, Howard The Dunk and We’re Bucked. And I meant to use ‘inspired’ like Puff Daddy did in the late 90’s. Also, no the title was not inspired by me watching Michael Jackson break windows and scream. It’s a head [...]

Blogservations: Thanks for busting up our season, Padres

Written by michaeljong | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Marlin Maniac (Marlins)

Title says it all. We needed this series, and we more or less gave it away to the San Diego Padres. The first game, the horrific Chris Volstad loss, was over before it even began, but Game 2, the Ricky Nolasco start, was salvageable before the bullpen threw it away. The Marlins were very lucky [...]

The Return of the Whizzinator

Written by Dan Zinski | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)

You probably thought you’d heard the last of Onterrio Smith’s infamous Whizzinator.  Well you were wrong.  The Whizzinator has returned, and it is in the possession of a Mankato tavern owner who intends putting it on public display.
If you ever dreamed of seeing the urine-dispensing rubber penis that helped ruin Onterrio Smith’s once-promising career as [...]

Preview: LA Angels of blahblahblah @ Seattle

Written by Harrison Crow | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | SoDo Mojo (Mariners)

I hate the Angels, let me just get that out of the way. I hate them so much I really don’t have anything to say about them. I don’t follow them other than standings, they are in so cal which is the pit of evil. Yes, while some will say what about New Orleans or [...]

Recap: Giants Sweep Rockies

Written by Eze | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Frisco Fastball (Giants)

That might have been one of the best, if not the best moment, in the last few years other than Bonds doing his thing in 07. And from all people…Edgar Renteria? The same Renteria who’s struggled to hit the ball past the pitcher so many times, or even better, just make contact?
I guess all is [...]

Analyzing Our Two New Arms

Written by Fetch | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Puckett's Pond (Twins)

A couple new pitchers made their Twins debuts over the weekend. Ron Mahay, a lefty acquired from the Royals, debuted on Saturday, and yesterday Jon Rauch got his first win as a Twin in his debut.
Let’s start with the lesser of the two. Ron Mahay has had kind of a rough year, with a 5.71 [...]

Broncos Pre-Season Week 3

Written by jprovenzo | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Predominantly Orange (Broncos)

Pre-Season is almost over and it can’t come quick enough for the Denver Broncos. The team has found itself minus two quarterbacks and the starting right guard. Anyone watching the game’s broadcast had to endure the broadcasters “piling on” when Cutler played well and won the game. The commentating clearly went the direction of [...]

Tedy Bruschi – “All good things must come to an end”

Written by Matt DeLucia | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Musket Fire (New England Patriots)

Everyone knows the ole sane “All good things must come to an end”, we’ve all heard it a thousand times throughout our lives.  Unfortunately for us, it now includes Tedy Bruschi and his time in the NFL.  Since it’s expected that after a wonderful 13 year career, in which he’s spent it all in a New [...]

Oh Shit! Eminem Stormed The ESPN Set!

Written by KC Roberts | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | NFL

… Oh! It’s just ESPN’s hip new NFL Draft and NCAA Football columnist Todd McShay! You can stop tazering him now trigger happy security guard that always dreamed of being a cop and is now trying to justify his exsistence by abusing his power and tazing everything and everyone that doesn’t follow your ridiculous protocols.

The Streak Stands At 21 For Brewers At Home Versus Pirates

Written by kenwatkins | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Reviewing the Brew (Brewers)

For the Milwaukee Brewers the Pittsburgh Pirates series was huge this past weekend and yesterday they finished the job with a 4-1 victory over the Pirates who struggle at Miller Park. For the Pirates it was their 21st straight loss at Miller Park and it seems more mental than anything else. This year in Pittsburgh [...]

Pick a Linebacker, Any Linebacker

Written by Scott Tunstall | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles), NFL

My grandpa used to tell me if a guy owns a bunch of cars it’s because he doesn’t really like any of them. My response to that piece of wisdom was always, “Maybe he’s rich and enjoys buying cars.” A stern “Nahhhhhhhh!” would be followed by a dismissive wave of his hand. I miss [...]
