A No hitter is a rare thing to most baseball fans.  To them it’s a sign of dominance to the pitchers who throw them.  In 2007 there have been six different pitchers, who have either thrown one or got as close as you can get in baseball.  Three of the pitchers have succeeded, where three of them failed.  This story will highlight the different journeys of each pitcher.

Red Rover- Red Rover Send Blackburn Right Over

by Trevor Freeman

With the San Francisco 49ers out of the playoff hunt in October for another season and college basketball still a couple weeks away, I figured it was time to talk about my newest sporting love.  The Blackburn Rovers.  That’s right, not only have I not written for our site for over a month, but when I do I am hopping in on the topic of English Premier League Football.  I have officially shifted gears to become the Vinnie Chase of our site.  I am only writing articles that satisfy my own creative/sports needs.

An Essay of Sorts on Why I’m Entirely Responsible for the Success and Failures of my Team

If I’m to believe a recent survey, and I’m not, then 20 percent of sports fans believe that their actions influence their team’s performance. Do you know how silly that sounds? One-in-five think that they have an impact on the game?
