There is a conundrum for the Rays they have never had to deal with before. They might have too much pitching. I’ll say it again, they just might have too much pitching. Crazy right? With Matt Garza due to come off the disable list and make a start on Friday and Scott Kazmir due [...]
It was reported on ESPN this morning that Isiah Thomas not only is being kept on with no title or job description, which is weird enough, but that he is barred from having contact with the team. This is becoming one of the strangest situations we have ever seen in sports. What is he [...]
With the NFL draft coming up on Saturday it’s time for everyone to start making predictions and suggestions on what the Bucs should do. I’ve previously stated I don’t get into this stuff too much but it doesn’t mean it’s not fun to hear what everyone has to say. Here’s a couple links to [...]
With all that’s going on with the Rays, Magic and so on it’s hard to keep up with everything USF Bulls. There have been a lot of things going on from Tennis to Spring Football. If you would like to keep updated on these things I suggest you check out The Bulletin with Greg [...]
I know it’s irrelevant to anything Tampa Bay but the Knicks are beyond a joke at this point. Tell me if I heard this wrong but with Isiah Thomas being fired as head coach of the Knicks I heard on ESPN this morning that he will be kept on with no title and no [...]
The Magic opened their playoff series with the Toronto Raptors with a dominating 114-100 victory. Dwight Howard dominated on both ends of the floor with 25 points, 22 rebounds and 5 blocked shots. Orlando came out on fire scoring a franchise record 43 points in the first quarter and never looked back. This was [...]
This fight definitely lived up to the billing. Bernard Hopkins opened the fight with a bang knocking down Joe Calzaghe in the first round. Shortly after Calzaghe took the offensive and never looked back. It took Joe Calzaghe a couple rounds to get a handle on Hopkins borderline dirty tactics and style but once [...]
I couldn’t wait to write about this one. I’ve been very critical of the Rays so far this season and with good reason. Tonight there is nothing but good to talk about. Andy Sonnanstine threw a picture perfect ballgame and the entire team played well behind him. Everyone looked good on the field and [...]
The Rays are looking to bounce back from a bad night where rookie Jeff Niemann got lit up and overall the team just played poorly. Pena is back in the lineup tonight as the DH and that’s a huge boost. After watching Hinske play first base Pena can’t get back on the field soon [...]
Tonight’s the night baby! I’ve been waiting for this one for a while now and it’s finally here. The Calzaghe vs. Hopkins fight is on HBO tonight at 9:45 pm and is not a pay-per-view event. Boxing needs more events like this and needs to stop with the pay-per-views in order to catch up [...]
Well this is a puzzling one. The Heater is reporting the Rays have snagged Oakland A’s 1B/DH Dan Johnson off of waivers. This move by itself makes me think something is going on with either Cliff Floyd or Carlos Pena we don’t know yet. It still doesn’t make a lot of sense. Johnson is a lefthanded [...]
There is a post by Damian Cristodero that seems to be picking up steam. It’s circulating all over the net now that the Bolts and Evgeny Artyukhin may be finally working things out. Atryukhin has played in his native Russia the last two seasons over contract disputes with the Lightning. It looks like both sides [...]
Just a quick reminder that the Magic playoff games kick off Sunday. Game 1 against the Raptors is at 12:30 pm and will be on TNT. I know there’s not a lot of NBA fans in the Tampa Bay area but I encourage all out there to get into the Magic a little. They [...]
Ken Rosenthal at Fox Sports is speculating that the Rays big announcement today is that Evan Longoria will be signing long-term. Rosenthal is speculating that the deal is for 6 years and somewhere around $17 million. This is a bit of a shocker especially since the Rays sent Longo down to “save” on arbitration eligibility [...]
The Rays may have a good problem on their hands here. With Jason Hammel and Edwin Jackson seemingly improved and making consistently good starts the Rays are holding down the fort pretty well with Kazmir and Garza out. Then Jeff Niemann comes in and performs nicely in his first major league start adding to [...]
The Rays have experienced a multitude of injuries so far yet the newest could hurt badly. In last nights game Carlos Pena left with what is being called ‘hamstring tightness’ and this scares all Rays fans. Pena is off to a good start power-wise and is a great defensive first baseman. If he goes [...]
Well this is one of the fun things about sports. People don’t always see things the same way. It appears I’m ruffling some feathers out there with my defense of Brendan Harris over Jason Bartlett. I’m not going to back off of my stance that I prefer Harris to Bartlett but I’m definitely not [...]
For those of you Bucs junkies out there looking for anything Bucs check out Stephens Holder’s Bucs Beat today. He did a short Q & A with Mel Kiper and got his thoughts on the Bucs draft prospects. Personally I can’t stand Mel Kiper but if you’re looking for something to read or are one [...]
Our buddy Brian Schmitz is reporting that the Magic are open to trading disgruntled guard J.J. Reddick now. Really? I’ve been speculating for a while now that the Magic are definitely going to trade him and that’s why he hasn’t received much playing time. In my opinion the Magic are trying to hide the [...]
Tonight was really hard to swallow. It had to happen eventually with Jackson, he struggled tonight and that’s no surprise. I’m not saying he hasn’t improved, he definitely has, but there was no way he could have kept up the pace he started on. He’s still walking people a little too much but his [...]
