2008-09 NBA Draft Kit: Central Division Preview
Published 29 hours ago by Herija Green at RotoRob
Today, Herija checks in with the next in his riveting series of division previews as part of the 2008-09 RotoRob NBA Draft Kit.
Since putting all five teams into the playoffs in 2005-06, the Central Division has become the haves (Detroit, Cleveland) and the have-nots (Milwaukee, Indiana) with Chicago somewhere in the middle. The Pistons have been the standard bearer in the Central for most of this century, but with an aging roster it’ll be interesting to see if they’ll still be the class of the division in ‘08-09.
DETROIT PISTONS (59-23) ...
Can the Rays go thru a pair of Sox to get to the promised land?

Who’s worried? Not me
Published 6 days ago by Cameron Martin at Comcast SportsNet » Wicked Good Sports
First, let’s summarize the things that sucked about last night’s game
1. The Sox lost
2. They lost in extra innings, so everyone’s a little tired.
Other than that, well, I’m not letting last night’s loss affect my attitude towards this series. I didn’t think it was over when the Sox won two in Anaheim (unlike Dan Shaughnessy, who was already inquiring about duck boat rentals). And I certainly wouldn’t call tonight a MUST-WIN for the Red Sox. I’d call it a game we have a great chance of winning, since we’re trotting out our ace, Jon ...

OJ did it. The Pens are getting the season started in Stockholm, naturally. I didn't know about this until Bugs and Cranks directed me to it, but apparently all of Rays nation isn't getting along. Who knew?

I made it
Published 13 days ago by jnr98@yahoo.com (Jason @ IIATMS) at It is about the money, stupid
Five hundred and twenty-one posts. Nine months. Started with a rant on Schilling and closed with Moose's 20th and the Yanks missing the post-season. I made it. I made it through my first full season blogging. Nearly every day. What started as some 'experiment' to see if I could get 10 people (besides my family) to read what I wrote has become something bigger than I could have expected. I'm still learning the trade but I have enjoyed it immensely. I've gotten to interview an agent, an active pitcher and an assistant GM. And I'm not done! For those ...
Bring It On! Deadspin Ladies Take On The Idaho Cheerleading Controversy [Waxing Off]
Published 16 days ago by Rick Chandler at Deadspin
Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why not import the idea here? It's just crazy enough to work. So behold: The latest edition of Deadspin's Waxing Off. This week, seven writers pen short pieces on the University of Idaho cheerleading uniform controversy. Last week Vandals cheerleaders were ordered to remove their skimpy cheerleading ...

As we go into our Labor Day Weekend, I would like to take a brief moment to acknowledge labor. No, not the kind your mother went through for you and regrets to this day. And not even the labor done by members of this fine internet establishment. For as we know, and shall very shortly see, labor is not exactly our forte. This is not even proper time to thank you, our readership, for the labor of reading this site. No, that is a different post that will be written by someone whose major contributions to this site extend beyond dirty scrawlings in MS Paint. ...

Coming Up: Milwaukee Brewers
Published 8/22/2008 by Charlie at Bucs Dugout: Front Page Posts
With the Bucs starting a series against the Brewers tonight, I talked to Tyler from the Brewers blog Right Field Bleachers. Thanks to Tyler, who also writes for Bugs & Cranks, for his insight. I answered some questions for RFB also, and I imagine those will be posted later today.
BUCS DUGOUT: The Brewers are a very good bet to make the playoffs for the first time since 1982. Are fans planting playoff tickets, or is there a lingering feeling that the Brewers will find a way to blow this? RIGHT FIELD BLEACHERS: I think fans believe a playoff berth is definitely possible, if not ...
