Written by Dustin Staggers | January 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Rays Colored Glasses (Rays)

The real surprise for the Rays in 2009, Ben Zobrist not only was a huge contributor for the Rays last season, he played so well he finished 8th in the MVP voting.

Orlando got arguably their biggest win of the season when they came back from a 16-point third quarter deficit to defeat the Boston Celtics 96-94 on Thursday night. That is quite the feat but it won’t intimidate Orlando’s opponent Saturday night – the Atlanta Hawks, who beat Boston 100-91 Friday night and completed a season sweep of [...]

Two Bucs Are As Bad As They Seem

Written by Dustin Staggers | January 30, 2010 | Comments Off | The Pewter Plank (Bucs)

There were a couple Buccaneers who at times this season, true the disdain of fans across Bucs nation.   One of the prime targets of that disdain for me was SS Sabby Piscatelli.  I have heard the guy is really nice, and in no way is this a cut at him personally, but his football [...]

Blazers 100, Rockets 104 Re-Thoughts

Written by Coup | January 30, 2010 | Comments Off | NBA, Rip City Project (Blazers)

It’s tough to be too displeased with this loss. The Blazers marched into one of “those” buildings they tend to struggle in, fought for a lead, fell way behind and still managed to make it a game decided on a handful of possessions. I know I’m getting repetitive from past posts, but given the roster, [...]

Trading Fausto to sign Hudson is backwards thinking

Written by edtherevelator | January 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Wahoo's on First (Indians)

Over at Let’s Go Tribe there’s a blurb about the possibility of trading Fausto to clear some money for the Indians to sign free agent second baseman Orlando Hudson.
These are the type of rumors that crack me up, but also scares the living $*** out of me.
It’s so ridiculous and so backwards that the Indians [...]

Why Washington can’t afford Hudson

Written by Alex Murphy | January 30, 2010 | Comments Off | District on Deck (Nats)

Hudson. Hudson. Hudson. From recently resigned Adam Dunn to GM Rizzo, they’re all saying they want Hudson.
And Supposedly Hudson wants to play for the Nats too, but so far there’s no deal. Rumors says it’s because Hudson wants 9 million, but Washington can only give him 3.
