Reggie may be the Consensus number one, but that doesn’t mean that he should be drafted first-at least not by the Texans.

What about Next Year?
Ahhh, baseball in 06′. Nothing more can deliver a harder punch to the gut. I’m sorry you diehard, do or die fans, that are so attached to baseball that you won’t admit the obvious. This year, baseball has become lack luster, proving to be dull and unsatisfying., but we always have next year. The start of this year’s season has delivered such oblivion to not only sports, but to life, that it has fathered the truth that nothing is for sure. We have lost the faces of the past and are forced to witness baseball today, changing for the worst.
It has passed us bye. America’s pastime has reserved a seat for the future. New faces, new places, repetitious and extremely bothersome talks of Barry Bonds and his steroid accusations, are ingredients in the recipe for disaster. Going off the record, Bonds will forever be an ageless icon, no matter how many pills he pops. There are a few things that seem to be missing from this year’s season, in which, have gradually submerged themselves towards death.

Why Not?
Why did Reggie Bush’s parents sign-off on an ill-fated lease agreement?
Why not?

Thanks for Nothing Barry
How lucky we are. We have seen some of baseball’s most sacred records be challenged and broken in the last few years. It takes an athlete who is superior over his or her counterparts to break a record and maintain it for a long period of a time. People say records are meant to be broken, but when I hear that statement I assume it means all records are meant to be broken fairly.

Running by Matt Waters
There’s a gun pointed right in his face, and Curtis Martin isn’t scared, for that momentary time has passed. No, he is defiant, fearless in acceptance. He’s almost in a trance, captured by abject, inert peace. His fate, predicated in ghoulish, tragic nightmares, would be sealed and delivered, his destiny fruitlessly revealed, amiss in any grand design. His worst inclinations would be proved absolute in their truth, life, only through it’s conclusion, would at long last have essence. In a world only continued only through confusion, finally, an unbreakable certainty could and would exist: Curtis Martin is free to die.

He’s known as one of the greatest pitchers in the history of Major League Baseball. He’s tallied 341 wins against just 172 losses during his big-league career. 4,502 strikeouts of opposing batters doesn’t sound too shabby either. Yet, Roger Clemens, not quite retired yet, isn’t pitching for a major league team currently.
Now, the “Rocket” is certainly contemplating retirement. Clemens implied that he was retiring after Team USA was eliminated from the 2006 World Baseball Classic. Of course, we’ve heard “retirement” stories from other greats in the game – Michael Jordan, Brett Favre, etc.

"Pride- Power- Pinstripes"
By Billy Fellin
The 2006 New York Yankees stumbled out to the game, posting a 7-8 record as of last night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles. So why are the Yankees 4th in the East and a game under .500? I think I know why.
Pennington drops back to pass and just sits there, prone, alone, under pressure in the pocket. The offensive line is under siege, armed torpedoes clad in black and gold launch themselves full bore, attempting to penetrate the line of scrimmage.
He has no time, knows it, and prepares a pass. Only, his throwing motion is awkward, discomforting to watch, bound to unleash yet another dying quail. Two steps are taken, meaningful, painful steps, before the fling could be completed.
It sails out of his fingertips, destined for doom, caught in the wind, dying slow.
He’s playing hurt, and will never be what he was, will never to continue to be who he is, and will never be properly acknowledged for his sacrifice. This is the definition of injustice, a miscarriage of information, the Legend of Chad Pennington, almost utterly unheard of.

Chasing The Champs
Well the NBA playoffs are finally here (that means only five more months until NFL Kickoff!) and this year’s postseason fraternity has inducted two new members. The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Clippers, both of whom just recently returning to prominence from years of NBA obscurity, mutually have had very respectable seasons and are looking to make magical runs into the playoffs. Also jockeying for position in the hunt for the elusive NBA championship: the 2005 champs San Antonio Spurs, Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings, and the Los Angeles Kobes (I mean Lakers) from the West. And representing the East: the Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards, Milwaukee Bucks, and Chicago Bulls.
The winner of the Eastern Conference has always been predetermined due to the lack of competition. This season has been no different as the 5th-8th seeds are separated by half a game to one game. And none of the teams offer much resistence to the Detroit Pistons.
Meanwhile, in the West, things look (a little) more competitive, even in the first round matchups. Here is your first round playoff preview.
