Odds to Win the 2009 MLB World Series

March 31, 2009 · 5 Comments 

The Major League Baseball season is about to begin, and it might not come as a big surprise, but the New York Yankees are an 11/4 favorite to win the World Series. The second favorite to win are the Chicago Cubs at 11/2. Rounding out the top five are the Boston Red Sox 15/2, Philadelphia Phillies 17/2, and tied at 10-1 are the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets. The Pittsburgh Pirates round out the field in 30th, AKA dead last at 150/1 odds on winning the Fall Classic. If you go by these odds you might assume that the Padres are still actively shopping Jake Peavy as well as a few others and... [Read the full story]

March 15, 2009 · 1 Comment 

Donte Stallworth, a wide receiver with the Cleveland Browns, hit and killed a pedestrian with his Bentley at about 7AM ET in Miami, Florida on Saturday morning. He was driving on a busy street that links Miami and Miami Beach when he hit 59-year-old Mario Reyes. Reyes was taken to a nearby trauma center and pronounced dead about an hour later. Reyes was near a crosswalk, but it is unclear whether or not he was crossing the busy road legally. Police tested Stallworth to see if he had either alcohol or drugs in his system. Results are expected back between three days and three weeks. The tests are... [Read the full story]

2009 Indianapolis 500 Results and Recap – Helio Wins!

May 24, 2009 · 2 Comments 

2009 Indianapolis 500 Results and Recap Well, it was actually a bit of an exciting race this year. That was incresed for me because I am a Helio Castroneves fan, and my prediction turned out to be right. Helio stared strong from the pole, but led just seven laps before being passed by Dario Franchitti. His car was not goo throughout the middle of the race, but he hung in there. His team made the changes when they needed to, and let him adjust at points rather than adjust the car to get it all right. There was a caution flag on the first lap of the race for the first time since 2006. It came out... [Read the full story]

2009 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First Round Results

March 21, 2009 · 3 Comments 

Well the first round of March Madness is over now. It was full of some exciting games as always. It also had quite a few upsets as it often does. The biggest shocker of the round was #4 Wake Forest getting beat around by the team that has to be considered the Cinderella of the first round, #13 Cleveland State. They are now 2-0 in the first round of the tournament all-time, having only ever made it one other time in 1986 and upsetting their opponent that year too. They will play #12 Arizona this weekend who upset #5 utah. Cleveland State could setup a David vs. Goliath matchup in the Sweet 16 round... [Read the full story]

Roland Garros – And Then There Were Eight (Men’s)

June 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Well with the ousting of Rafa Nadal in round 4 I am sure everyone is saying that Federer can finally get his French Open win. I am certain Roger would prefer to win it while playing Rafa head to head. It just won’t be the same if he beats someone else to get it. Personally I think it makes the field wide open, as well as makes for an exciting Quarter Finals – Finals. Especially since Federer’s road to the quarters hasn’t been exactly easy. He cruised past Spainiard Alberto Martin 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, but then had to play a fourth set with two tie-breaks to get past Argentine Jose... [Read the full story]
