When you talk about the greatest promoters of all times, one would be remiss to leave out Bill Veeck. Veeck was known for all kinds of stunts to make losing baseball entertaining. One can only imagine what sports would be like with a promoter such as him in the business today. In 1951, as owner [...]
We hear their voices every time we tune in to a contest: giving us the details of the situation, the status of the game, the events that have led us to where we are, and what’s to come. Without them, the game is merely pictures without background, an unfinished tapestry open to speculation and interpretation [...]

After what seemed like an eternity, the Boston Red Sox finally filled their managerial vacancy this week when the team hired long time manager and baseball person Bobby Valentine to take over Terry Francona’s job. Valentine beat out Gene Lamont, who was the other candidate for the opening. Some Red Sox players are disgruntled [...]
Miscues are common in sports, be it professional or amateur. Missed assignments, blown coverage, poor execution, inability to grasp the concept of what’s going on, all lead to big momentum shifts for the opponent. Good teams find a way to overcome them, but sometimes it’s not in the realm of possibility, in the case of [...]
I have gone back to the archives and brought back a game that has fond memories for Red Sox fans, the sixth game of the 1975 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds led the Red Sox 3 games to 2 going into game six at Fenway Park, with Luis Tiant throwing to preserve [...]
Admittedly, I don’t sit around and showcase dozens of scantily clad females on this site like a lot of other so called “sports” sites do in an effort to pump up readership. Sure, we could trot out photos of golf’s Karrie Webb or Anna Rawson, maybe Maria Sharapova or Daniela Hantuchova from tennis, Trish Stratus [...]
The Kansas City Royals made another move to try and improve their pitching staff for 2012 Tuesday, announcing that they had agreed to terms with Jonathan Broxton on a one year deal. Broxton will join the club as the set up man for Royals closer Joakim Soria, a role that Kansas City has had difficulty [...]
The Tampa Bay Rays will never be confused for the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers or any of the other major free spending clubs that throw tens and in some cases, hundreds of millions of dollars at free agents in an effort to improve their team in some form [...]

The New York Yankees are notorious for overspending when it comes to free agents. The laundry list of examples is miles long: Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia, Nick Swisher, Russell Martin and so on. That’s why it was strange to see the caviar and champagne lifestyle Yankees going on the store brand mac and [...]
The Cleveland Indians declined the $9 million option on outfielder Grady Sizemore last month after another injury plagued season for the former three time All Star and two time Gold Glove winner. Sizemore drew interest from at least eight clubs and seemed intent on letting the free agent process play out as he tried finding [...]
The Minnesota Twins were the worst team in Major League Baseball last season, ravaged by injuries and inconsistency throughout its lineup. Not expected to be big spenders in free agency, the Twins will try to patch holes with lower priced free agents. That means no major acquisitions like Prince Fielder, Albert Pujols, Jose Reyes or [...]
