Opinion: Addition By Subtraction: Jackson Finally Dealt

16 Nov 2009 09:06:56 PST

Written by Adam Lauridsen
Our long national nightmare is over — or at least our three-month local nightmare of a disgruntled Stephen Jackson trying to force his way off the team. Jackson got his wish, the Warriors largely get to hit the reset button, and hopefully everyone will be better off for it. I doubt Bell and...

Opinion: Kings over Bolts 2-1....some pontification

15 Nov 2009 11:08:04 PST

Written by Hipcheck
I am not sure there are that many coaches in the NHL who after a loss in that fashion could seem even keeled-the fact it comes from Tocchet is even more surprising giving his style as a player. One could only imagine what the reaction would have been from Marc Crawford.

Written by Greg Wyshynski
It's a little surprising there isn't more outrage on the Interwebs over the no-goal call during the Toronto Maple Leafs' 3-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks last night. Maybe we've all accepted that inconclusive is inconclusive; maybe Leafs fans have already used up all of their indignat...

Opinion: Offseason Decisions for the Giants, Part I: Catcher

13 Nov 2009 11:15:30 PST

Written by Grant
If the Giants somehow repeat their 2009 win total without Posey in 2010, the burning question in 2011 will be, "Gee, can we afford to start a rookie catcher with this pitching staff keeping us in contention?" This would also happen if the pitching staff implodes, mind you. It would probably...

Opinion: Phillies - Yankees Game 5 Notes

02 Nov 2009 20:40:00 PST

Written by DMtShooter Five Tool Tool
gt;Phil Coke entered the game in the seventh, and Chase Utley treated him like just about every other pitcher in this series by crushing a home run to right. In five games, he's got five home runs, and is now tied Reggie Jackson for the most home runs in a World Series. It's just crazy to me that an...

They came out and blitzed us early on and went up by a score of 14-0 (man that's a tired, familiar theme for a Bruin defense), yet the Bruins even with Kevin Craft at charge had a shot in the f...
