That Sucking Sound Was Eric Wedge
Written by Sooze | September 30, 2009 | Comments Off | FanSided
What a horrible few years the 64-92 Cleveland Indians have had.
Eric Wedge will finish out what’s left of the season, but will not be fulfilling the final year of his contract. And the rest of the coaching staff is going with him.
When a manager gets fired, this question often arises: Who’s fault is it really? Well, they’ve lost 20 of their last 25 games and recently went on a torrid 11-game skid; and after seven seasons as the Tribe’s skipper, Wedge guided them to only one playoff appearance.
Just sayin’.
Granted, they were one win away from a trip to the World Series two years ago — the same season Wedge was honored with the Manager of the Year Award — but they managed to blow it as a team, anyhow.
Good luck to the next guy, who will be hired within the next few weeks.

Who Does This Guy Think He Is?
Written by Dustin Staggers | September 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Pewter Plank (Bucs)
Raheem Morris made a few call outs of players yesterday that more than irked me. He has been shouldering the blame in that normal old coach speak in the post game press conferences, but he has a lot of audacity to call out his players, in public, on very specific plays. He hasn’t had the [...]

Written by Always Miller Time | An Indiana Pacers Blog | September 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Always Miller Time (Pacers), Z Featured
Last season brought many surprises to the Indiana Pacers franchise. Although the team was buried with injuries throughout the year, they finished as the ninth best team in the Eastern Conference, barely missing the playoffs that year.

Practice Squad Changes

According to a report from Danny O’Neil’s Seahawks blog, the Seahawks have cut running back Devin Moore and linebacker Thomas Williams from their practice squad.
Devin Moore became a fan favorite because of his unique style of running during the preseason. He flashed good speed and maneuverability, and showed off a unique collection of juke moves. [...]

So, occasionally when I make some bold pre-season prediction, it will come out to be.. well, not as true as it could have been. Ok, I admit it. I was wrong. Yes folks, it does happen from time to time, and let no one say your friendly neighborhood blogger is afraid to [...]
Mike Singletary is Great, Jim Mora is Emotional?
Written by Shaun Dolence | September 30, 2009 | Comments Off | 12th Man Rising (Seahawks)
After Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears, Jim Mora chastised kicker Olindo Mare in his post-game press conference for missing two key field goals. It is quite rare for a head coach in the NFL to single out a player like Mora did with Mare.
“There’s no excuses for those,” Mora said through pure emotion. “If [...]
Time to Fly
Written by Justin Everitt | September 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Broad Street Buzz (Flyers)
My title would have been a bit different today but one of the Flyers writers for their website, Bill Fleischman, used the title I originally planned. But, now that we jumped that hurdle, let’s have a preview of the team we will be seeing this season. Final announcements have not been made, but, if you [...]
Hitting the Links: Dueling Neck Tattoos, Bikini Golf, Merriman’s Groin & More

When I watch DeShawn Stevenson play basketball, the first thing that comes to mind is Abraham Lincoln The Washington Times
Here is the tattoo Matt Barnes has on his neck. I’m not 100% certain, but with a gun to my head I’d have to say I like it a little better than DeShawn’s tat of Honest Abe
Bikini clad Japanese golfers would send the [...]
Bucks Back in Action

Camp has opened and there is news all over regarding the Bucks. Well, there are articles about the Bucks if nothing else.
An article from JSonline here about the Fast Break Bucks. It should be a given that by drafting Brandon Jennings the Bucks will need to be uptempo. Hopefully, the Bucks can get enough stops and [...]
Why Being A Broncos Fan Is Better Than Being A Cowboys Fan
Written by Kim Constantinesco | September 30, 2009 | Comments Off | NFL, Predominantly Orange (Broncos)
It’s that time of the week. Here are 10 reasons why being a Broncos fan is better than being a Cowboys fan.
1. It takes a full team to beat the Broncos, but one blonde singer to beat the Cowboys.
2. The only reason the new Cowboys Stadium has Astroturf is to keep their fans from grazing.
3. Parking at [...]
The Axe Man Cometh
Written by Scott Tunstall | September 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles), NFL
What to make of the latest eye-opening roster move by the Eagles? Is it a sound football decision, a nostalgia for 2004, or an act of desperation by a brain trust who were recently given a painful reminder how porous the run defense can be without a beast like Stewart Bradley or Jeremiah Trotter [...]
Brewers Bullpen Fails Them In Extra Inning Loss To Rockies
Written by kenwatkins | September 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Reviewing the Brew (Brewers)
Just like all season long the Milwaukee Brewers bullpen needed to stop the opposing team and just like most of the year they could not. David Weathers gave up a two run home run to pinch hitter Chris Iannetta in the 11th inning to seal the Brewers fate as the Rockies beat them 7-5. Another [...]

Today the Florida Panthers will play their final exhibition game against Jokerit in Finland. This will be the final tuneup before Friday’s season opener against the Chicago Blackhawks. Hopefully the Panthers can come out on the positve side on this one for a few reasons. Momentum going into the opener for one. Nothing like [...]
