Yankees take a pounding

For more stories by Kent Summer, check out 3rdand10.com

This was a Tuesday night, but I was under the impression that I was watching the Chiefs-Broncos game. Something just wasn’t right (and now is when I stun you with my amazing statistical recall). Maybe it was the fact that the Yankees used eight pitchers through nine innings or the fact that starter Mike Mussina did not even make it through three innings. Of course the game did last for 4 hours and 16 minutes, coming within 360 seconds of becoming the longest 9-inning game ever played. And there was that whole thing about how scoring nine runs could fail in beating a team 22 games out of first place, while that team scored two touchdowns, made two extra-points and kicked a field goal to beat the first place team.

Cincinnati Bengals

"Who Dey"

by Trevor Freeman

As background, I need to let everybody watching at home know how I spend my NFL Sundays. My typical Sunday involves pitchers of beer and platters of wings at my local bar, McCann’s, which has the NFL Sunday Ticket. Some may call this bar the United Nations of NFL fans as each team is represented. From the Steelers to the Cowboys to the Bengals to the 49ers, the chants fly.

A Note to the Morons of the Mainstream Media

Is there some sort of law I have never heard about that requires every single sports writer to write and talk about steroids?

Sure, it needs to be reported, but to this extent? To the extent that a fart out of Rafael Palmeiro’s butt (or, so I’m told, it is actually coming out of his face, but it smells just as fishy) gets psychoanalyzed on every major sports program non-stop? To the extent that every time Barry Bonds steps, no hobbles, to the plate we have to mention what he may or may not have been doing for the last ten years that was completely legal to use in Major League Baseball? To the extent that every player who hit a walk-off homerun who was 0-4 with three strikeouts before that in the game is automatically a `roids possible by the media?

Five Lessons I Learned from Rafael Palmeiro

1 Comment on Five Lessons I Learned from Rafael Palmeiro

“I didn’t do it….someone gave it to me…I have no idea how it got there.” Sound like lines from an episode of Law & Order? Not quite, that’s a summary of the responses that Rafael Palmeiro has given regarding the accusations of using steroids and for later testing positive for the illegal susbstance. While I don’t want to jump on the bandwagon of this oversaturated story, I would like to share with you five lessons I learned from Rafael Palmeiro:

Golden State Warriors

Mullin’s Twelve

NBA training camps don’t open for a few more weeks, but Chris Mullin wasn’t about to let that stand in his way. His Golden State Warriors ended last season on a positive note, lending more promise to the 2005-06 season than any before it in the past decade. But to reestablish the chemistry of last year’s team, Mullin knew his players would need as much time as possible together. So he decided to round all of them up in person, several weeks early, and he recounted his efforts to me so that I could publish them on my website. Why me, you ask? Well, Mully and I have shared a special bond ever since my 7th grade season in CYO basketball, when I was voted “Player Most Likely to Make Chris Mullin Gag in Horror”. That kind of bond doesn’t just fade away with time.

Cleveland Indians

It’s the Tribe’s time

By: Sean Quinn

It’s easy to be the Cleveland Indians right now. Not quite as easy as Paris Hilton on a first date, but compared to other A.L. clubs, fairly easy.

The Chicago White Sox are in the midst of a colossal collapse – the likes of which haven’t been seen since the meltdown of Joan Rivers’ face. The Boston Red Sox are starting another 86-year streak, or at least should be after losing five of nine to the Devil Rays this season. The New York Yankees are figuring out how they wasted $200 million, when all they really needed was Bubba Crosby. And the Angels and Athletics are fighting for bragging rights in the state of California.

Like the Dallas Cowboys, we just want to pretend last week never happened. Nope. Those two bombs to Santana Moss never happened. Just like us picking the Lions. For shame.
