2/22/08 - All Things Being Equal
2008-02-22 21:39:00 There are going to be some real dogfights for divisional titles this year in Major League Baseball. No, there won?t be any pit bulls or even evil-looking roosters, but there will be some guys with that determined look on their faces, and they?ll be dramatically changing the outlook for their respective teams in the races for the playoffs.

2/19/08 - The Yanks Have Continuity
2008-02-19 23:40:00 Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter and Andy Pettite are the sole remaining vestiges of those Yankees teams of the 1996-2000 era, that team that won 4 out of 5 World Series. They will have to perform in 2008. Abreu and Damon have been in place for some time now, as has Matsui. And, of course, Arod. LaTroy Hawkins strengthens the bullpen. Chamberlain strengthens any rotation he wishes to join. Look out for these 2008 Yankees. More About: Continuity
02/15/08 The Best Game of Them All
2008-02-15 20:05:00 Time for the very best All-Star game of them all, NBA style. A game played for fun with the biggest stars, featuring just five fan selections for each league and just a roster of 14 players overall in each Conference. Think this team is hard to make? You bet. But it's not only a team the game's greatest players want to make, but a game the players really want to play in. Because it is played for fun. More About: Game

9/25/07 - And DOWN the Stretch They Come
2007-10-25 23:39:00 The Rockies have been devastating down the stretch, getting some All-Star performances from Matt Holliday, the ageless Todd Helton, guys like Brad Hawpe and Garrett Atkins. The Phillies great shortstop, Jimmy Rollins, hit his 30th homer today. They?ve got some bangers in the lineup, and, if their bullpen can hang in there, they still have a chance. If you love baseball, you?ve got to love the wildcard. It keeps the excitement at a fever pitch in places like Chicago, where some great pitching and Lou Piniella are keeping them in it. In places like Milwaukee, a city whose team can?t spend a lot, gets to experience the thrill of a chance to go to the World Series and share headlines with the Packers. In Arizona, a team filled with no names and some fine pitching, in Denver, whose young team just hits the heck out of the ball. More About: Etch , Stretch
10/2/07 - Last Men Standing
2007-10-25 23:27:00 So it?s a shootout at two Ok-Corrals. Between GMs and managers, between infielders, outfielders, starting pitchers, relief pitchers. Reyes vs Rollins, Manuel vs Randolph, Burrell vs. Alou, Beltran vs. Rowand, and who?ll be the Earps? But, in the final analysis, the biggest shootout of them all has already taken place, that of the GMs and, I fear, Minaya blinked first and a little too long. More About: Standing
10/5/07 - Who's Really MVP

10/16/07 Don't Shoot the Messengers
2007-10-25 21:52:00 Despite the power of NFL coaches, offensive and defensive coordinators, the NFL quarterback always assumes the responsibility for his team's losses.
