    AL CENTRAL

    Its more than the hole at 3B, it gives them another power type player to help balance the batting order, and protect Morneau, health is the only issue with him. They lost the division in the playoff last year, but this year they have added Crede, they have Cuddyer back after basically a lost...

    AL CENTRAL

    Anyone care to revise their predictions with Crede now landing in MN? I had my Twins middle of the pack this year, but with Crede for even half the games, I put them as a favorite to win the division, and if he stays healthy all year, they have a shot to go to the Series.

    Irritating habits that announcers say

    Mine goes to just about ALL football announcers... Calling End Arounds a Reverse and true Reverses a Double Reverse. For those that think I am wrong: An end around is when a WR comes thru and takes a Hand off and runs around the end. A reverse is when he is getting close to going around...

    Your thoughts on the HR Derby?

    I agree Hamilton had the best night, but Morneau was the most consistent thru the 3 rounds, and did deserve the title. but he said it best in a quote i read in the Minneapolis Paper, it went something like -- I may have won, but no one will remember that, they will remember his 28 home runs --

    Memo to MLB: Leave UNIs Alone!

    If you dont like it, then you should rail against Home/Away Uniforms as well, because that make TWO not ONE. I like it, its fun. What i want to see is the NBA do a throwback day and make all the teams wear the short shorts of the 80's!

    Red Wings sign Marian Hossa... I think

    They let Rolston go, they could of signed him, but he wanted to test the market, and in a weak year, who can blame him, he got a nice deal, but i am glad they wild didnt overpay to keep him. Bringing Brunette back is nice, and the D they added from Nashville will help, so its a good...

    Red Wings sign Marian Hossa... I think

    Redwings were actually well below the salary cap, so they have every right to spend the money. Its not their fault they are good and players who want a Cup are willing to go there for less. And I am not a Red Wings fan.. I am a Wild Fan, who was suprised to find out that the Wild payroll...

    Mariners fire their manager- not exactly a stunner

    on pace to be the first team with a 100 million dollar payroll to lose 100 games.

    Only Hank ...

    I think Hank has a point, if your not used to doing something it can lead to injury, so either they need to go to the DH or No DH for both leagues, OR, they can meet in the middle and go to a 10 player batting order.. with both Pitchers and DHs, as it is hard to take the DH away, and the Players...

    Most inept franchise in each of the 4 major sports

    Cardinals actually were semi competitve back in teh 70's, Jim Hart era, a few playoff appearances, but ended up against the Vikings or Cowboys and that woudl end the run.

    Flip Saunders Fired!

    Saunders will sit at home next season, collect his 4.5 million and recharge his batteries, he will then be ready to jump into coaching again. Would be nice if Glen Taylor would realized he fired the wrong former Gopher back when Saunders got the hook, and fire McHale and bring back Saunders in...

    MMA on CBS

    Kimbo's fight should of been stopped the round before for him not doing anything to defend himself, they gave him the fight. Its not the first, or last time, that someone is given extra leeway because the promoters/TV want them to win. Otherwise it was a very entertaining card, the early...

    WHY is there no call to give USC the sports "death penalty"...?

    College basketball players can declare for the draft, and recind the declaration at anytime up until the draft as long as they do not hire an agent. does taking money from an agent constitute hiring one? wait, i better be nice, he will be the Timberwolves point guard next year.

    NFL eyes 17th game to grow revenue, shorten preseason

    Actually a 2 game preseason, and 18 game regular season makes alot of sense. Better for season ticket holders that pay full fare for 2 pre-season games now, and it would be one if they go to a longer season. Better for players, as once they get into the regular season they start getting game...

    The United States Open Changes Its Cable Home

    only advantage i see is that ESPN HD is available on almost all cable/sat systems, where USA HD isnt quite as widely distributed.

    Looks guilty as sin

    Who's to say he didnt leave it at the carwash, which he owns, and some other employee found it and shot it? No person was shot, just property damage, nothing at all like the OJ case. Not saying he did it, or didn't, either way its a crime in PA, but theres no proof that HE shot the gun...

    Looks guilty as sin

    Just because its his gun, does not mean he fired the gun... but under local law he is still guilty of a crime.

    NHL 2007-08 Season

    You complain about San Jose not being tough enough, a columnist in Denver is accusing the Wild of "Thugging up" the game. Hockey is physical, and it has always had thugs. Last year the Wild was the team that got thugged in the playoffs by Anaheim, this year they added muscle and now can...

    Look who's in the frozen four

    All you have to do is look at how the teams were placed... 5 WCHA teams made the tourney, but 3 were put in one bracket. And then they put an underperforming MN team and a St Cloud team thats never won a tourney game into the other brackets..Why? To keep it from being an All WCHA frozen...

    Mets get Santana??

    Gomez is supposed to be a 5 tool player, and has serious potential but didnt show it last year in his stint in the majors (but he is 21) Guerra is supposedly the key to the deal with his raw ability. The other 2 are decent prospects, so who knows... BUT, the Twins did miss the best deals...

    Bowl Payouts

    They already play 4 or 5 big 10 teams a year, and with the new 12th game in the schedule, they could join the conference, and still play USC, BC, Navy and one other non conference game.. it really would be good for them and the conference, allowing 2 6 team divisions, and a chapmpionship game

    "Criminoles" at it again!

    cheating is common thruout colleges(athletes and not athletes alike), so branding these athletes "criminals" is bit far... they cheated, they will pay the price, but compared to many other athletes both college and pro, i would not call this a "criminal" act
