Patriots Stumble Against Dolphins As Culpepper sits in a Barker Lunger
2008-09-21 15:10:38
Keeping with the theme of "Patriots Miss Tom Brady", this weeks match up with the fish was especially disheartening. We all know that Matt Cassells is no Brady, but did we think that the defense would falter in this manner after a decent game against the Jets last week? Patriots die hard fans need to accept the fact that Tedy Bruschi is done in the NFL. He hasn't had game in nearly three years. L

Throw Back Uniforms
2008-09-20 05:06:01
I was watching some highlights this morning for the MLB action last night and man, those throw back uniforms are bad. Granted, they are just uniforms, but no wonder you never saw anyone wearing those things anywhere. I mean would you walk around wearing an old school Blue Jays jersey, no I didn't think so. Then again, I don't think I'd wear a new one either cause the team is so bad.I always though

From Worst To Worse
2008-09-19 15:08:43
Things have been rough for the San Diego Padres this season for a wide variety of reasons. Whether you want to fault the rotation, the starting nine, the bullpen or the rookies, things were bad in San Diego this year. I mean, finishing ten games behind San Francisco is bad enough, but having to deal with rookie hazing on top of that is bad.In my opinion, the whole team and ownership should be out


Schilling Tears Manny A New One
2008-09-18 14:20:04
Curt Schilling recently spoke with reporters from the Providence Journal and tore into Manny Ramirez as only he could. Here are some of the quotes as read in the Journal this morning.• "I'm totally convinced [Ramirez was going to claim he was injured and] play half the games the rest of the year. And he made it clear he didn't want to play. We've all seen what Manny does when Manny doesn't want

Peyton Manning Hype
2008-09-17 16:53:21
Alright folks, we can stop the Peyton Manning hype. After a narrow victory against the Minnesota Vikings and an inept Tavares Jackson, the last thing Indianapolis Colts fans should be doing is praising Peyton for the come-from-behind victory. The Vikings had that thing wrapped up and blew it. Colts fans should be questioning the heart of their team as well as their inability to put points on the

Brewers Fire Yost
2008-09-16 14:16:04
If you follow the MLB, then you know that the Milwaukee Brewers have been in a recent "cool down" and are now battling for their playoff lives with Houston, St. Louis and Philadelphia. Well, due to their recent lackluster performances, the Brewers no longer have Ned Yost at the helm, he was fired last night.Current third base coach Dale Sveum will take over as interim manager the rest of the year.


AL East Tightens
2008-09-15 17:24:49
The Red Sox and Rays face off tonight in their last head to head series this season. Currently the Red Sox are just one game behind as Matsuzaka faces off against Kazmir later this evening. Regardless of whoever comes in on top of the division, the other will surely win the wild card due to the at least 6 game lead on the next ball club.I still think that the Red Sox will pull ahead of the Rays by

Poll Results

We didn't get a ton of votes, but we did get more than enough to gauge the issue.How well will New England do without QB Tom Brady?Win Superbowl 0%Win 1 Playoff Game 33%Make Playoffs 50%Miss Playoffs 16%These results are about what I had expected, but it is nice to see what everyone


It's Official, Patriots Need Brady
2008-09-14 15:48:25
After watching only the first 10 minutes of the Patriots vs. Jets game this afternoon, it's official that the Patriots need Tom Brady . I watched the Pats storm downfield only to get stumped in the red-zone. The fact that they didn't get into the endzone wasn't Matt Cassels fault, it was Coach Belichick's for not passing and instead delivering a steady and predictable regimen of Laurence Maroney ru

Crazy Poll
2008-09-13 04:04:01
I was over at ESPN.com going over the various polls and I came across a poll asking who would be the likely winner of the NHL's Art Ross Trophy. The Art Ross is awarded to the player who finishes with the most total points during the regular season. Anyway, the four choices were;Sidney Crosby of Pittsburgh 47%Joe Thornton of San Jose 7%Alex Ovechkin of Washington 40%Vincent Lecavalier of Tampa Bay

Houston Astros Making Push
2008-09-12 05:10:00
Not only is a monstrous hurricane heading toward Houston , but it is also coming down to "do or die" for the Astros . Houston, currently 4 games back in the NL Wild Card slot (Milwaukee) is looking to complete their sweep against the Pirates in advance of the weekend showdown with the central leading Cubs. If the Astros can come out of the weekend series with 2 out of 3, they stand an excellent ch


MLB Fantasy Flops
2008-09-11 15:14:03
I joined a fantasy baseball league this year with some friends over at Comedy Soapbox and have really enjoyed it thus far. It has been an interesting season due to injuries to key players as well as numerous players not living up to their hype. I have to admit, my roster on draft day is totally different than my current lineup. Thanks to Troy Tulowitzki, Fausto Carmona and Justin Verlander, I had

Schilling Needs To Shut Up
2008-09-10 16:38:35
At the risk of sounding like Fox's Bill O'Rielly, Boston Red Sox injured pither, pitching coach, commentator need to shut up. Having never seen a microphone he didn't love, Schilling launched some angry words toward the New York Yankees in regards to New York sports fans apparent elation over the Tom Brady injury. "I mean, the Yankees suck this year. And they’re bitter and mad and they’re mak

Mourning In New England
2008-09-09 09:23:21
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady will miss the entire 2008-09 season due to a torn ACL he suffered against the Kansas City Chiefs this passed Sunday. Brady, who was hurried back to health from an earlier injury, was expected to lead the Patriots back to the playoffs for another push at destiny, but now has been announced as doubtful for the rest of this years campaign.After last years Super Bowl

Can Celtics Repeat?
2008-09-08 19:51:51
There has been many questions about whether or not the Boston Celtics can repeat their incredible championship run next season and raise an 18th banner high above the parquet. Personally, I think that they are the class of the Eastern Conference, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. There are some quality teams in the East, but only a few contenders.First, any serious NBA fan would never discount

I'm calling it now, Red Wings vs Penguins 08'-09'
2008-09-08 19:33:31
I'm going to go ahead and call it, Detroit vs. Pittsburgh for the 09'  finals in a rematch of last years Stanley Cup Finals. I just don't see who is going to come through and knock either one of these giants off their perch. I suspect we are going to see something strikingly similar to the Edmonton Oilers dynasty of the late 80's or perhaps the New York Islanders a decade earlier. Granted, Gretz

American League East
2008-09-08 19:23:51
The 2008 Major League Baseball season has been interesting, especially in the American League East. Who could have predicted that the Tampa Bay would be clinging to the top spot ahead of Boston and that New York would be in fourth behind Toronto? I mean, other than Baltimore being in the tank (except for Aubrey Huff), the rest is just a total fiasco.In regards to the AL East title, Tampa Bay and B

NFL Fantasy Football Upper Respiratory Infection
2008-09-08 19:08:27
If you are participating in an NFL Fantasy Football league and you selected Ton Brady, Vince Young or Jeff Garcia, you probably had a sleepless night after all three went down on opening day. Well, things aren't getting any better, Brady is likely to miss the entire season, Young will miss 4-6 weeks and the jury is still out on Garcia's shoulder (fracture). Granted, if Garcia was your starting QB

Time To Go Downtown is a new blog that will focus on the top four professional sports leagues (MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL) as well as breaking news and stories in the professional sports. I am a former New Englander, so my taste in sports tends to run with the Boston and New York markets, but having moved to Texas, I've been exposed to some great teams and players I was virtually unaware of before.I l

Tonight at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies and Dodgers will face off in Game 1 of the NLCS. The pitching match up for tonight features Derek Lowe for the Dodgers and Cole Hamels for the Phillies. The game is set to begin at 8:22 PM ET and should be a great one.I'm not too sure what to expect from this series. I really like the match up tonight and for the series.

MLB Championship Series Predictions
2008-10-08 17:06:24
Having made some predictions last round (nearly all of which were incorrect), I've decided to make a few this round.Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red SoxI'm going to go with the Red Sox in 6 games. I suspect that some of the bats will come alive and the Rays wont be able to get it going at home. I suspect they will split the first two in Tampa Bay and the Sox will pull ahead and sweep out Fenway to win

Red Sox Advance To ALCS
2008-10-07 15:27:52
The Red Sox finished off the Angels in the bottom of the 9th inning last night with a two out single by Jed Lowrie that drove in Jason Bay from second. I have to admit, after the Sox gave up a two run single to Torii Hunter I expected much the same as in game 3. Fortunately (for me and other Sox fans), the Red Sox were able to buckle down i the top of the 9th and score in the bottom half.The Red S

Tampa Bay Rays Move On To ALCS
2008-10-06 21:35:36
Tamp Bay finished off Chicago this afternoon in what could best be described as anticlimactic. With the White Sox out of the way, the Rays will be well rested to play either the Red Sox or Angels. As I'm typing, the Red Sox are up 2-0 in the top of the 7th.I've been watching the poll regarding who will win the World Series and thus far the Red Sox are well ahead with 100% of the voting. Will have

Angels Win Game 3 in Extra Frames
2008-10-06 13:53:49
The Angels pulled one out of their collective asses last night getting to Javy Lopez in the 12th inning last night. At the time, I was headed downstairs to grab another beer when my brother told me the game was over. I hollered upstairs, "What are you talking about?" He replied, "Tito put Lopez in the game!"If you're a Sox fan, you are familiar with bizarre extra innings moves by Tito Francona. L

Poll Results 10/5

The poll results are in from this past weeks poll as to "who is more clutch". The choices were;Michael Jordan 50%Michael Phelps 20%Wayne Gretzky 10%Joe Montana 20%I thought that Gretzky might get a bit more love, but when you go up against Jordan and Montana, things don't usually go well. I was impressed to see Phelps do so well in this poll. I suspect if I posted this next year, he might not have


Dodgers Move On To NLCS
2008-10-05 13:35:11
The Cubs bats were silent last night as they fell to the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Chicago fans face total elimination this afternoon as their White Sox face the Rays who are already up 2-0. Fortunately for Chicago sports fans, they did get a series championship a few years back from the White Sox, but the Cubs... 101 years and counting.Not to focus solely on the Cubs lack of hitting, their fielding


Angels and White Sox Now Down 2-0
2008-10-04 13:56:50
With Ervin Santana on the hill against Daisuke Matsuzaka, the pieces were set in a game two match up that could turn the ALCS into a best of three. Unfortunately for Santana he was tagged by four runs in the first and another run in the middle innings. Daisuke had an average performance, but allowed the Angels to claw their way back into the game. The Boston bullpen gave up the tying runs and befo

Cubs and Brewers Down 2-0 in NLDS

Things aren't looking good for Chicago and Milwaukee after losing games started by Carlos Zambrano and C.C. Sabathia. I was sure that both teams would even up their series, but once again I was wrong. My predictions aren't going too well this playoffs, well at least in the NL.I want to take a second to talk about the Cubs game. Three errors in the second inning didn't help the cause. I don't know
