Where Have You Gone Ruben Gotay

Written by Wally Fish | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Kings of Kauffman (Royals), MLB

Today the St. Louis Cardinals signed 3B/2B-Ruben Gotay to a minor league contract and a spring training invite.  He will turn just 27 years old on Christmas Day and the fact that he just signed with the Cardinals reopens some wounds for me.
If you don’t remember Ruben Gotay, you’ve come to the right place!  Come [...]

If you have watched a nationally televised NBA game in the past two to three years then you know that the National Basketball Association is “Where Amazing Happens”. If you have followed the Boston Celtics the past two years then you have probably heard about a significant knee injury to a guy named Kevin Garnett. Well, [...]

Eight

Written by David | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | NFL, Stripe Hype (Bengals)

Certain numbers are popular in Bengaldom today. “Six” and “zero” are big, being the number of division wins and losses, respectively, that the Bengals have rung up this season. “Three” is also popular, as it’s the team’s “magic number.” Any combination of Cincinnati wins and Steelers/Ravens losses will secure the division for the officially upstart [...]

Major Injuries on Monday Night Hockey

Written by Tim Redinger | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | NHL, Sabre Noise (Sabres)

You heard it on Rink Side Rants – and I have talked about it here.  The Florida Panthers are a very frustrated hockey team, that frustration boiled over into a senseless injury tonight for goaltender Vokoun.
After letting in a goal, Vokoun was struck in the side of the head with Keith Ballards stick, as a [...]

Cardinals Moving On After Tough Loss in Tennessee

Written by AZScott | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Raising Zona (Cardinals), Titan Sized (Titans)

Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said it was time to move on from yesterday’s game and start focusing on the Sunday Night Football on NBC match up against Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.
I couldn’t agree more.  Coach Whiz also said that the defense still played well in spots, even taking into account the 532 [...]

Two Months of Ray Emery

Written by Eugene Markman | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Broad Street Buzz (Flyers)

In sports, stability is a key component of  successful franchises.  Yet, somehow, ever since 1994-95, when the Flyers returned to prominence, we have seen the starting goalie change on a consistent basis.  I may be missing a few, but since that time we’ve had Ron Hextall, Dominic Roussel, Garth Snow, Sean Burke, John Vanbiesbrouck, Roman [...]

Week 12: Ravens-Steelers in Review

Written by Joe Barnes | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Ebony Bird (Ravens)

FIRST HALF:
The first half was very solid.  The offense held its own and at times looked unstoppable.  Flacco was recognizing open receivers and making a lot of good throws.  Ray Rice and Co. were grinding the Steelers’ D-line and gaining positive yards.  The defense was for the most part, very good.  With that said, it [...]

Chicago Bulls Weekly Roundup

Written by Stormin Norman | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Pippen Ain't Easy (Bulls)

Games (0-2)
L 98-122 The Blazers big men dominated the Bulls.  Aldridge and Oden combined for 48 points and put a beating down on Noah, Miller and Gibson.  The game wasn’t really close for most of the way, although a dominant 4th quarter by Portland put it away for good.  Deng and Salmons both shot well, [...]

Milan Michalek would like some Timmy Thomas

Written by Bobby Zijiac | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | SenShot (Senators)

Words can’t describe the hatred I felt towards tim Thomas after the Boston Bruins won once again 4-3 in the Shootout against the Senators. Even though Thomas sucked horribly on Saturday he was dancing like a crazy maniac when the Bruins won. And let me tell you, all three goals scored by Ottawa were all [...]

Clippers Almost Sleep Through One O’Clock Game, Yet Beat Memphis Grizzles

Written by Short White Boy | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Fully Clips (Clippers)

No, there was no power shortage at the Clippers’ hotel that prevented their alarm clocks from waking them up.  They weren’t told the game would be later & thus had to scramble.  Nor did some foul fiend slip the whole team mickeys to knock ‘em out.  The game was in L.A., so they weren’t all [...]

Sabres Game Night: Toronto Maple Leafs

Written by Tim Redinger | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | NHL, Sabre Noise (Sabres)

What a weekend to be in Buffalo, for me at least.  I was working on a four and a half day weekend, the Sabres are on a winning streak, the Bills throttled the Dolphins, and then Monday comes around.  Damn I hate Monday.
The only good thing that comes from Monday is, well for the first [...]

Offense and Defense Propel 49ers Win

Written by Eric Melendez | November 30, 2009 | Comments Off | NFL, Niner Noise (49ers)

.
Mike Singletary’s intense passion and motivation gave him a perception of a head coach that is stubborn and unwilling to go against his “physical” with an F style of offense he wanted to install with offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye.  Singletary said in training camp that he wanted to run the football 60% of the time [...]
