Fearless Weekend Predictions is a weekly column running on Friday afternoons where our resident soothsayer (or whoever we can get) locks down what will transpire in the coming 72 hours. It’s better to get these out before the 7-year is open. The crystal ball gets cloudy.
Well, it’s 9:37 on the Friday night and no FWP yet? Something must be wrong. No SmoothRon this week, no TGC, ...

With all the hoopla surrounding the “ brawl ” that took place last night in Detroit, I feel it necessary to supply the obligatory commentary. The Sparks will surely be without Candace Parker for a few games, and some other player probably will get fined or something.
Which brings up another question: Does it make sense to fine a “professional athlete” if she ...

The world’s highest paid athlete–F1’s Kimi Raikkonen at $51M (USD ) annually– continues to make clear that he’s not taking no shit off-a nobody. If you have a problem with that, you’ll have to come find him swimming in his pool of Finnish Euro’s to tell him so. Either that, or grinding behind some Swedish karaoke singers.. in mid-song!
A week ...

With the series split in Baltimore, the Tigers pull back to .500 and have named former starter-turned-releiver-turned-starter Zach Miner as the newest in what has become a revolving-door 5th spot in the rotation. This news out of Detroit had me wondering what the heck D-Train is up to down in Florida.
The guys over at LFTBlog were awesome enough to post a little video of Willis throwing ...

We’re always one week closer to kickoff, and what better way to celebrate that today than to pull out the old Orange and White family truck, give her another coat of Tennessee Mountain Gloss, tune up the 8-banger and find that quarter bottle of Jack you left under the seat after the LSU debacle last year.
Come September you’ll be pulling it out of the driveway and heading ...

12:35: EdayStat - Man, this could be a really good game tonight. There are so many stories, I wonder if it’ll go extra innings!

I just want to say one thing about tonight’s home run derby to start things off. Hamilton hit 35 and Morneau hit 22. Morneau won.
I understand that in sporting events that the total scores don’t always tell the tale. There are countless teams throughout sports history who outscored their opponents by wide margins and weren’t the ultimate champions at the end ...

With the All-Star this week every baseball publication and journalist will dazzle you with their “first-half recap” or their votes for MVP and Cy Young winner up to this point. There will talk of batting averages, strike-outs and RBIs. Of course, we here at APIAS.net always like to take a different look at things. After a little more than half of the 2008 baseball season gone ...

The Dog Days of summer are upon us, the All-Star Break is next week, and somewhere in West Knoxville a man and his boat just parted ways for the mid-summer cleaning. One day soon they will be reunited and will charge forth across Ft. Loudon Lake towards the shiny beacon on the north coast of “The River”. And that day he will join his companions… in the 2008 Vol Navy.

Well, it wouldn’t be the season blog without commenting on the losses too folks. The team played great tonight and got Joe “UK” a 4-1 lead in the middle innings and he promptly blew it. That’s not a surprise to this blogger and expect a full analysis of Joe’s starts in the next week or two.
We’ll let that go tonight though and focus on the positives. ...

As I’m sure you’ve probably heard, Rich Harden was traded from the A’s to the Cubs sometime yesterday. Fortunately for us, two of our resident writers happen to be huge fans of these teams. EDayStat has to be the biggest A’s fan this side of the Mississipi River and has already put his spin on the trade . 2ndStoryLloyd is a Cubs fan, but hasn’t been able to ...

9 innings, 2 hits, 0 walks, 4 strikeouts, 0 runs . Oh yeah, and his ERA dropped 0.180 points. To 1.78. Any questions about who the staff ace was is this year?

We were all set to do a back-and-forth on this site between 2SL and myself about the possibilities of a Rich Harden to the Cubbies deal when Ol’ Billy goes ahead and pulls the trigger. Not only does he unload our #2 (#1?) right handed pitcher, he also unloads the guy that I felt would step back into the rotation when Harden left. I’m very surprised that Gaudin was part of this ...

After feeling a grand sense of accomplishment from cutting the grass this morning and getting the trash to the curb in time for pick-up, I felt the need to award myself. So I have sp ent the last 3 hours combing through old playbooks from the University of Tennessee and the University of Kentucky as well as some other interesting stuff.
The playbooks can be found here . There is ...

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
The world has gotten smaller. Technological advancements in communication and travel have given access to places and ideas our ...

The man pictured left is not headed to the All-Star game. He is the Duke of Wellington, or rather he was the Duke. He’s actually been quite dead for over 150 years. In his time he was known as the Duke of Wellington, Marquess Douro, Prince of Waterloo, Duque de Ciudad Rodrigo, and Lord Doosh Baag. Never was he known by the title American League All-Star pitcher.
Now, the man ...

Every once in a while a big story goes down, either unexpectedly, or when not much else is going on in the sports world, and we get to read several takes on the “breaking news.” Tonight’s reported trade of CC Sabathia to the Brewers is one of those times.
It is now our privelege, as the layperson sportsfan, to be inundated with cheeky headlines. You know, because those ...
