UFC 117 Preview: How Does Anderson Silva Compare To Other Athletes Currently At the Pinnacle of Their Sports?
If anyone disputed Anderson Silva's place as the top pound-for-pound fighter in MMA over the past couple of years, their position became almost indefensible with Fedor Emelianenko's loss to Fabricio Werdum. Silva has been invincible for the past five years across two weight classes (both of which...
Giants/Cardinals Series Preview
There's a certain kind of symmetry in the Braves leaving and the Cardinals arriving. For years -- decades, even -- it was the Braves who stayed competitive, no matter what freaky roster changes they needed to make. My favorite Braves move was Brian McCann's call up. Oh, we'll just take this...
10 May Day Predictions
1. All 4 starters for the NL West teams (Peavy, Kershaw, Jimenez, Johnson) pitching on Friday will post Quality Starts despite none of them sporting ERAs currently under 5.74. 2. David Wright will break out of his slump by hitting a homerun off of Chan Ho Park. 3. Mark Hendrickson will beat Roy...

With all the MVP talk surrounding Dwyane Wade, one point that many ‘experts’ make is that Wade is not on a 1st place team, while LeBeon James and Kobe Bryant are. How important is that when choosing an MVP? By definition, MVP is for the Most Valuable Player, but to whom? Is it to...

Albert Pujols named NL MVP
Albert Pujols has been named the NL MVP. Good. He deserved it. UPDATE -- The vote totals are here. Manny finished 4th, Sabathia 6th. Tim Lincecum only got 9 total points. I'm trying to figure out how he can finish 1st in the Cy Young, but finished behind Sabathia, Lidge, Santana, and Webb in...

bearing the cost
i’m getting really tired of writing about injuries. under other circumstances i might get out the ol' calculator and try to estimate, down to the run, the cost of albert’s absence; that’s the exercise i ran through back in 2006 when he hit the dl. but i’m not gonna bother...
