After getting a taste of inter-league play against the Toronto Blue Jays the New York Mets come back to the comfort zone of the National League style of play to face the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Game 1: Monday 7:05 PM on SNY Pitching Matchup: Johan Santana 1-2, 2.89 ERA vs. Erik Bedard 2-5, 3.07 ERA [...]

With the Mets bullpen being as shaky as it has been through the club`s first 40 games, the Mets will eventually have to call in reinforcements for the bullpen. Don`t be surprised to see any of these four pitchers warming up in the `pen at Citi Field sometime during the next few weeks. SPOILER ALERT: [...]

The Boston Red Sox are gaining steam in the American League East. The bottom dropped out 12 days ago and Josh Beckett was booed off the mound early, amid reports that he’d been golfing after being unable to pitch and then looking equally unable to pitch when he actually did take the mound against Cleveland.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that one of his wide receivers has the “best hands I’ve ever seen on a wide receiver.” Oddly enough, he is not talking about Randy Moss, who has had that type of praise heaped on him in the past, and rightfully so. Harbaugh isn’t talking about a [...]

This formula has caused a lot of unnecessary pain for fans. Chicago’s sporting culture is obsessed with its identity as this “smash mouth, tough defensive” team who doesn’t believe in the “flash, finesse and glitz” of a passing offense. Actually, it’s just a very vocal minority of older Bears’ fans who cling to Walter Payton [...]
