Have You Hugged Your Crayton Today?
Written by jdramirez | July 31, 2010 | Comments Off | The Landry Hat (Cowboys)
Fortunately Dez Bryant is only expected to miss the next four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain. The news could be worse and considering that fact, Cowboys fans need to appreciate Patrick Crayton even more. For a team that has Super Bowl aspirations, certainly having depth at a key position like wide receiver is paramount.
Miles Austin does have a history of injuries. Fluke plays like the one that Bryant was injured, happen all the time in football. If Crayton were traded for a 2011 5th round pick, the Cowboys might find themselves [...]
Vikings Camp Opens Without Brett Favre
Written by Dan Zinski | July 31, 2010 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
No, Brett Favre did not pull off the shocker move of the summer and report for training camp.
If you have the get out of camp free card, you use it.
No one else on the Vikings has the card. Not even Adrian Peterson, who showed up on the first day, and spent a lot of time answering questions about fumbling.
“It’s all mental,” the running back told the assembled media. “Basically, it’s that simple. Just mentally being aware of my surroundings at all times. Knowing guys are definitely throwing those extra punches to knock it out at all times. So [...]
Training Camp Preview: Secondary
Written by Dan Zinski | July 31, 2010 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
No area of the Vikings‘ roster is more rife with potential trouble than the secondary. There are several situations to keep an eye on as camp and the preseason unfold:
The Antoine Winfield Situation. There’s a possibility that Winfield is no longer capable of being an effective outside corner in the NFL. Flat-out downfield speed isn’t necessarily as important for corners in the Vikings’ system, but still, you like your outside guys to at least be able to hang with receivers and not get utterly torched. His future could be inside, where he played last season after his foot injury visibly [...]

Matt Moore Looks Great Amongst Competition
Written by Eric Quackenbush | July 31, 2010 | Comments Off | Cat Crave (Panthers), NFL
I was reading some of Darin Gantt’s notes from Friday’s practice, and of all the things mentioned, the one that particularly stood out was how Matt Moore was looking like the best out of the four quarterbacks.
Of course, that goes without …
Cordero Walks Reds to Defeat in Extras
Written by Steve Engbloom | July 31, 2010 | Comments Off | Blog Red Machine (Reds)
As of late Reds closer Francisco Cordero has pitched pretty well. Not a lot of issues. He’s even been using both sides of the plate.
Wait. There has been one issue. Base runners. Walks and hits. Too many of them. I know they’re part of the game, but walks almost always bite you. Hits bring the instant result. Since it’s “inception”, the one stat I’ve always paid attention to with pitchers, (especially late inning pitchers) is WHIP (walks plus hits/innings pitched). You’d like to see that number under or around 1.000. But you don’t want your closer to have a WHIP [...]
Oh Francisco…Walks Will Haunt
Written by Tim Grimes | July 31, 2010 | Comments Off | Blog Red Machine (Reds)
For us old school Reds fans, you may remember an feature they had on the Jumbotron at Riverfront Stadium. When an opposing pitcher walked a Red, a video would come up on the screen with a ghost and the caption walks will haunt appeared as well. Over time, it became a fan favorite and it rings true in almost every game. They were right, walks will haunt. And, in Francisco Cordero’s case, this whole season has been filled with bases on balls. Even though he didn’t blow a save last night, he did take the [...]
Anthony Gose – Future G.Sizemore or B.Upton?
Written by Mat Germain | July 31, 2010 | Comments Off | Jays Journal (Blue Jays)
The deal completed by the Jays for Anthony Gose, acquired from Houston in return for Brett Wallace, is the first deal made by Alex Anthopolous that has me scratching my head. I understand that he is dealing for the highest ceiling players and that this is not an entirely lop-sided deal, but I felt like Brett Wallace was the answer at 1B and that he was going to help the Jays in 2011. Now, with Anthony on board, the Jays can only expect him to arrive in 2012 at the earliest, and will still be paying Vernon Wells $21 million [...]

Bill Hayes – a great fan – he will be missed
Written by Gary Harding | July 31, 2010 | Comments Off | Eyes on Isles (Islanders)
I never met a man that loved his coffee as much as Bill Hayes. Especially after the Islanders secured a victory. He would always say that the java would taste good.
Very few people really know this gentleman who just passed away from cancer at the age of 85 on Wednesday evening. Even in the Islander fan community, he was not readily known to the average Islander fan.
If you sat in Section 309 over the last 30 + years, row B, seat 11 was the place that he called his seat from 1972 to 2007. He moved down to the lower [...]
