    MLB.tv HD on regular TV

    Now that the season is over, how'd it work out for you? I know it's early, but next year I might think about mlb.tv using my PS3 to stream to my tv.

    Interesting article: Moss should be MVP, not Brady....

    Again, I am no Pats fan. But credit is definitely due and Brady is outstanding. He's on the field despite constant shoulder pain and isn't whining when he still puts the long-ball on the money. He's a leader. The difference is the type of leadership. Brady is in a team-environment that...

    Interesting article: Moss should be MVP, not Brady....

    Why not? I can vividly picture Peyton or Brett kicking his ass the first time he bitches about not getting enough balls thrown his way!

    Interesting article: Moss should be MVP, not Brady....

    My unconventional pick for the MVP is the Pats' offensive line. Not Brady or Moss. That OL has crushed everybody, they're the reaosn Brady can have a beer between the snap and throwing a TD. They're the reason Moss has lunch before he gets open and catches the TD. 1st in pass offense; 5th in...

    A-Rod Wins MVP (as expected)

    IMO, RBI is probably the most over-rated and most misleading stat in baseball. It's a function of the batters ahead in the lineup. If THEY don't do the job then there aren't opportunities for RBI. So if your lineup isn't stacked it isn't possible to have a monster RBI season. In this case it...

    A-Rod Wins MVP (as expected)

    Not a chance. The Sox' pitching carried them to the division crown. Lowell was solid but not outstanding. He deserved the WS MVP but that's not what we're discussing. MVP is a reglar-season award. BTW: by my logic, pitchers ought to get more consideration for MVP. If a pitcher has an...

    A-Rod Wins MVP (as expected)

    I'd have to go there. The key to value in a team sport is how much VALUE the player brings to his TEAM. Did the player have a big year? Remove him, and how would his team have done (would they have won anything)? Ordonez had a great year. But the Tigers started hunting & fishing early this...

    Detroit Tigers

    And it just got a whole lot tougher, losing Sheff indefinitely.... at probably the worst time of year.

    Detroit Tigers

    Next time out won't be any easier, against the Yankees. Seriously, he just came off the DL and was a stud last season. Give the guy a chance. I know it's a really tough time to give him some rope, but he's not going to return to form if he's not in the game. Without him isn't any better...

    RIP: Phil Rizzuto

    Scooter was always entertaining. He brought a lot of radio to the tv game, he never left the viewer with dead-air like some of today's mlb broadcast teams do. I loved when he did games. I recall watching a world series in the late-70's, Joe Garagiola was doing the game (I think with Vin...

    Yankee Land Report: A-Rod to NY Fans...Get behind me or I leave by the end of year?

    Letting Jeter be the icon (and to be fair, he's earned it) is only part of it. Yankees' fans have been spoiled. We still expect the big man to be Reggie Jackson and hit 3 home runs in the deciding game of the WS. Winfield didn't do it. Mattingly didn't do it. Jeter didn't but was a WS MVP and...

    Yankee Land Report: A-Rod to NY Fans...Get behind me or I leave by the end of year?

    Actually, I've got to amend my earlier post. Now that I think of it, he's blaming the fans for his misery; and dumping his responsibilities onto the fans. He's ultimately responsible for what he does on-field, and off. He's been there 3 years and knows the drill: the middle of the Yankee...

    Yankee Land Report: A-Rod to NY Fans...Get behind me or I leave by the end of year?

    His problems with Jeter are of his own making; he's the guy who's talked to the press. In ANY altercation, the fans will side with Jeter. Like him or not, the guy is ultra-consistent, plays every play like it's the last out of the WS, handles the press well, and always maintains a level of...

    Saban to Alabama

    Weasel is definitely accurate. Given his comments the past few weeks, his credibility is now officially in the crapper. Everybody wants to take a shot at players who hold-out, demand new contracts, or try to get traded b/c they don't like where they are after signing free-agent deals...

    Kenny Rogers --- Cheater? YES/NO your opinion...

    Kenny isn't smart-enough to cheat. You ought to know that, he proved it in 96-97. Besides, they called him on it after the 1st inning and the Cards were helpless all night. Not an issue.

    NFL:League suspends RB Ricky Williams

    He really does have major psycho issues... but, nobody has disclosed the substance this time. If it was Pot, it would be announced like the last time. The NFL has a very long list of banned substances. Some of the products you buy over the counter, or even at GNC, will trip the NFL...
