Not to disparage U Conn, but ND shouldn’t lose to U Conn. Charlie Weis’ job was hanging by a thread before today’s game, and it’s probably safe to say that he coached his last home game for the Fighting Irish today. There is a road game at Stanford, where another loss ...

According to the NY Post, The Yanks denied a published report that they have let teams know that Swishalicious is available.
I commented on Swisher a bit in yesterday’s post. The Post states that Swish isn’t expensive (well, baseball-wise). $6.75M in 2010, $9 M in 2011.

You knew it would be close.
How close was it?
Consider this: Only 10 points separated the winner, Tim Lincecum of SF from the 3rd place finisher, Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals.
Consider this, too: Wainwright, who finished 3rd, got the most first-place votes of any of the top three. ...

Information also from MLB.com:
Mike Scioscia of the Angels, who won the AL West and got to ALCS vs. the Yankees, was named AL Mgr. of the Year today. Ron Gardenhire was 2nd. Yankee skipper Joe Girardi was 3rd. Scioscia had to pull together his team after the tragic death of pitcher Nick ...

I heard an ESPN radio guy talking about the NL CYA voting before going to a commercial. He mentioned Carpenter and Lincecum and went into the commercial. Excuse me? Aren’t we forgetting someone? Wainwright?
Here is a comparison of the three major candidates. Who would you choose?

To no surprise, Zack Greinke of KC won the AL CYA today after going 16-8 with a superb 2.16 ERA. He got 25 of the 28 first place votes.
Felix Hernandez of Seattle got 2 first-place votes and 23 seconds after going 19-5, 2.49. He finished 2nd.
Justin Verlander (19-9, 3.45), who finished 3rd, ...

The AL ROY goes to Andrew Bailey of the A’s, who went 6-3, 1.84 and 26 saves. Finishing 2nd was Elvis Andrus of the Rangers, who went .267-6-40, 33 SB, OPS+ 82.
In the NL, there will be some disappointed fans near where I live in Eastern PA. The NL ROY goes to the Marlins’ OF ...

As a Steelers fan, I was hoping for revenge today. The Steelers lost to Cincy in the last minute several weeks ago. Now today’s game was at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, the teams were deadlocked at 6-2 each, and I was hoping for a Steelers win and control of the AFC North. Could I watch? ...

Soon after that, he was collecting the 1996 WS MVP trophy for his four saves in that WS. With the ...

In writing about Nady in the previous post, I mentioned that he doesn’t have much leverage…unless you count Scott Bore-a$$ (misspelling intentional). Bore-a$$ (Boras) is known for his outrageous demands (see the link below) and his belief that players over 35 deserve salaries as if ...
