Senators 5 - Canadiens 7
The Canadiens are in the playoffs. One of their goals going into the season was to clinch a playoff spot early. Andrei Kostitsyn scored two of Montreal’s three first-period goals. Chris Higgins also scored in the first period for the Habs as they beat up on Martin Gerber for 3 goals [...]
What Sean Singletary did in last night’s NCAA post-season tournament game was worthy of being on every highlight show in the country—if it had only been in the NCAA tournament…or even the NIT. Instead in happened in the College Basketball Invitational.
Old Dominion led Virginia by four with 35 seconds left when Singletary made two [...]
All right folks, here we go. With the excitement at a fever pitch in expectation of the big picks from the humor-blogs community, it’s time we cut the crap, got down to brass tacks and talked turkey.
For those of you who figured I was a shoe-in to win this thing (which was, of course, everyone), [...]
After a glorious first week in the annual Humor-Blogs NFL Postseason Pickfest I am in second place. Oh sure, some of you Naysaying Neds or Moping Myrnas might say, “Dude. There are only two people participating.” (The other one is Chris (AKA Tuna) from Angry Seafood). But I am a half-full kind of guy. Like in the [...]
With playoff baseball comes the inevitable debates about who the greatest postseason performer was. This has been especially true in lieu of Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling's recent performances in the World Series.Many people are familiar with some of the best postseason hurlers, but what about some other, less heralded pitchers? Are there guys out there who may have flown a bit under the radar? In fact, there are a number of them. While none of these guys had the extensive impact of a Bob Gibson or Mariano Rivera, they still delivered clutch performances throughout their postseason careers*. Ken Dayley, St. Louis CardinalsIf I were to ask you who in postseason history had the best WHIP (0.58), allowed the least number of hits per 9 innings (2.61) and the fourth best ERA (0.44), your firs
Josh Beckett woke up today turned into a real MLB hero. After thinking their hopes to keep fighting for the American League Championship were almost vanished, Beckett saved the day and beat the Cleveland Indians, ending up on a surprising 7-1 score. Boston Red Sox won game 5 and proved to be “back in the game”.
Not even the distraction of having his own ex-girlfriend (Danielle Peck) singing the National Anthem was enough to stop the great effort made by Beckett to stand in Cleveland’s way. The Indians only had time to get one run before Josh taught them a good pitching lesson. This Red Sox star made a flawless job and gave Boston a second chance to make it right and get right to the World Series.
Now it’s a matter of common sense for Boston: They’re 0-3 on the games where Beckett was not the starter. And they’re 2-0 on the ones Beckett did start. Need I say more? If these guys want to have real chances of repeating history they will have to throw the next game
And i'm excited. I am an AVID sportsfan, and there is no sport that i love more than my baseball. So it goes to show that October is by far my favorite month (partially due to Halloween and Autumn, as well).This year, the Race to the Pennant is a crazy one indeed, especially in the National league. Leads have been exchanged, hearts have been broken, teams have surged, the kind of stuff you find in a feelgood Disney movie. My Phillies are finally in the midst of it all as well, and i've never seen fans support a team as much in my life. The Mets are self-destructing, Padres are keeping due with their lead in the Wild Card, and Colorado has snuck up with everybody to trail them by only one game. The possibilities of a 5-team playoff is in the midst, and that would be unprecedented.My predictions for the World Series are simple: Phillies vs. Boston. And i'm not saying that because i'm a Philly phanboy; they have the best offensive output of any team in the National League this year,
Some interesting notes from the Baseball Prospectus Postseason Odds Report.
With one week to go in the baseball season there isn't much left to do for the fantasy owner other than to sit back and let the chips fall where they may. I will be posting on some post-mortems for my teams and thinking about next year in the offseason. But for now there isn't much to do.
So, I was looking at a very
By Steve Wieberg, USA TODAY The debate over a major-college football playoff touches on its impact on the sport’s regular season, on the survivability of a decades-old bowl system and on the potential for infringement on more…
In 1994, it was a violent affair, and Bure's elbow on Shayne Churla was the story of the series. You see some of the hits and rough stuff in this clip? They wouldn't be allowed to do that stuff anymore without getting a roughing penalty.T Tags: Canucks Stars Playoffs 1994 Bure Churla
The New York Daily News has released its list of the worst quarterbacks to play in the Super Bowl and I am proud that my boy Rex is, of course, on the list.1. David Woodley, Miami Dolphins, Super Bowl XVII: Best known for being the guy who came after Bob Griese and before Dan Marino. Squeezed in a Super Bowl in a strike-shortened season and went 0-for-8 in the second half. 2. Trent Dilfer, Baltimore Ravens, Super Bowl XXXV: Giants fans still see his 38-yard TD pass to Brandon Stokley over Jason Sehorn in their nightmares. He was 11-of-24 for 115 yards the rest of the game. Ravens cut him a few months after his victory trip to Disney World. 3. Joe Kapp, Minnesota Vikings, Super Bowl IV: Worst career passing stats of any QB in Super Bowl history, but the former CFL star was mostly a running quarterback. He threw like one, too. Chiefs coach Hank Stram on one of Kapp's Super wobblers: "That ball looked like it had helium in it!" 4. Tony Eason, New England Patriots, Super Bowl XX: Part of
