The Phillies and Jenna Jameson Share These Habits

Written by Shaftie | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Rum Bunter (Pirates)

They both lie down.
They both choke. 
A lot.

 
 
 
 
 
Until the Phillies find a way to get Cliff Lee on the mound every game…
Until the Phillies find a way to get Jayson Werth to bat twice every inning…..

Veal and Tabata Dominate the Desert

Written by Shaftie | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Rum Bunter (Pirates)

Scorpions Ace Donnie Veal is 2-0

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Donnie Veal    continues to show why he will win a spot in the Pirates starting rotation in 2010 with pitching like he has shown in the Arizona Fall League.  Another strong start from the lefthander yesterday with four innings pitched and only two hits allowed.
Veal struckout five batters to lower his [...]

Dolphins Release Rookie TE John Nalbone

Written by Brian Miller | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Phin Phanatic (Dolphins)

John Nalbone was officially released by the Miami Dolphins on Saturday to make room for ??? Word has not resonated out of Miami as to who the 53 man roster replacement will be. Matt Roth perhaps? Maybe William Kershaw? The Phins are set to square off against the Jets in a matter of hours now.
Nalbone [...]

Ducks Lose in Shootout, 3-2

Written by Omar Zaman | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Ducks Daily Blog (Ducks)

UPDATE: To watch the Wisniewski hit on Doan, click here.
A surprisingly energetic Ducks team played well enough to earn a point but ran out of steam against a Phoenix Coyotes team that turned up the intensity after a big hit by James Wisniewski on Shane Doan. Doan was bleeding from the face and woozy as he tried [...]

Sabres lose first game in regulation

Written by Tim Redinger | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | NHL, Sabre Noise (Sabres)

The Buffalo Sabres did their part on Saturday night to make any Buffalo fan fitful on Halloween night.
After matching the second best start in franchise history, the Sabres put together a woeful effort as Marty Biron eared his 200th win in stylish fashion, blanking his former mates.
While his former back up saw success at one [...]

Eagles-Giants Prediction

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

If McNabb and the offense were clicking, this game would set up perfectly for the Eagles. The Giants are hurting in the secondary. DeSean and Maclin and Celek should find plenty of room to roam, but the question is will Donny be able to a) find them and b) hit them in stride.
Forget about the [...]

Boudreau’s Book

Written by Ben Sumner | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Capitals Outsider (Capitals)

At long last, fans of the Washington Capitals have reading material about someone from their favorite team. I’m not too sure if anyone else in Caps history wrote a book. Sure, Bruce “Gabby” Boudreau has only been around for two seasons, but hey, he’s the guy who we believe will get it done, right?
So here [...]

Crowder Out Vs. Jets, Roth Activated Off PuP

Written by Brian Miller | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Phin Phanatic (Dolphins)

The Miami Dolphins have their backs against a wall going into Sunday’s division game against the NY Jets. Consider the atmosphere may already be running high if the Yankees beat the Phillies in game three of the World Series. Or, maybe they will all be hung over and half asleep come kick-off. Either way the [...]

Walter Payton Open Thread

Written by Boomer | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Bear Goggles (Bears)

Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton’s passing.  I grew up watching Payton,  my first childhood hero.  Here’s a Payton tribute video I dug up on YouTube.  If this doesn’t get you going, nothing will.

That dude ran with more heart than anyone playing the game today.  He wanted to deliver the [...]

Written by Bobby Zijiac | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | SenShot (Senators)

Ottawa has now lost their last 4 of 5 with a loss tonight against the Thrashers. There was excitement in the air, it’s Halloween and black thirds debuted tonight, and they did compete, but were denied 50 times by Ondrej Pavelec. Zach Bogosian, Rich Peverley, and Maxim Afinogenov scroed for the Trash while Mike Fisher [...]

Written by Ted Leshinski | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | FanSided

As most of the sports media (and the national mainstream media for some reason) focused on the recent embarrassing sex scandal involving ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips and his subsequent termination from his network; an interesting side story has developed involving Deadspin and the practice of public relations.
A.J. Daulerio, Deadspin’s co-creator and editor, announced last [...]

Trick or Treat: Raider Style

Written by Chris Shellcroft | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Just Blog Baby (Raiders)

We’re halfway through the 2009 season and it’s time to take stock in the Oakland Raiders.
Instead of issuing grades, I’ll keep it simple and pay homage to Halloween.
JaMarcus Russell – Trick

If this was supposed to be his make or break year, it’s safe to say so far he’s broken the seal on that bust label.

Four Skins to the Pro Bowl?

Written by truthseeker | October 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Riggos Rag (Redskins)

Redskins.com is touting six Skins’ players as possibilities for the upcoming Pro Bowl.  They include London Fletcher, Andre Carter, DeAngelo Hall, Albert Haynesworth, Santana Moss, and Clinton Portis.  Let’s be straightforward about something – right now it’s unlikely that anybody from the Redskins’ offense is going to Hawaii, unless he wears a defensive player’s jersey [...]
