    Haha Fox is sassier. Ditka is meaner.  Fight to the death to settle it, once and for all.

BallHype Profile on "Hugging Harold Reynolds"

    I've been reading HHR for quite some time, and recently due to blogging myself, I started reaching out to great blogs like them asking for advice etc.  It's always comforting to know that the people behind the scenes are just as quality as the work.  Rehashing what ST said, their material is always fresh and entertaining.  When I first found out about "Blogs with Balls" months ago I had no idea it was being run by HHR.  It wasn't long before I learned that it was and I wasn't surprised to hear that in the least.  An amazing event planned by an amazing blog.  I wish I could make it this year, but look forward to participating in the future. 

     I agree wholeheartedly with Paneech, great site to feature Ball Hype.

    I agree with Sharapovas.  I kind of wish we could still see how many people link the story on the front page without having to click on it.  Overall, I like it though.

    I added this link from youtube and afterwards I saw that Lake Show Life had already linked to it.  He deserves all the links and credit on this one.  My bad, Lake Show.

MLB's April Surprises and Disappointments

  • Detroit4lyfe Detroit4lyfe

    I was asked to do this and I flaked...actually, I just forgot because I've been so busy with things... but I do want to weigh in my opinion anyway.  Here is what I would have said:

     1.  The biggest surprise in April, in my opinion (and in a bad surpise way) was the Tampa Bay Rays.  I understand that they are fresh off their first ever World Series berth and there is probably a "hang over" involved, but I would not have expected this team with the addition of Burrell and after having the experience of playing through a tough playoff run they would come out this flat to start the season. I think a lot of it has to do with BJ Upton not performing up to expectations, Kazmir possibly dealing with arm problems, and the loss of Edwin Jackson (terrible trade for the Rays).  Either way, given all that, I probably still would not have guessed them to be 6 under .500 right before the end of April and in the cellar.

    2.   The biggest disappointment at this point has to be the Cleveland Indians.  They spent a lot of money on closer Kerry Wood this off season shoring up a blotchy bullpen, and were predicted by many "experts" to win the Central Division.  Instead, they started the season 0-5 and have been clawing their way back ever since.  While I'm not too disappointed in this performance due to the fact my Tigers are in their division, this has to be a huge disappointment for Cleveland's organization given the expectations.

    3.  I think both teams will turn it around, but I don't see either one making the playoffs.  The Rays are starting to play better and the Indians are too, however they both find themselves playing catch up as teams ahead of them used these team's early struggles to put some cushion between.  If I had to guess, I think the Indians have the best chance of making a full recovery and competing for the division, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rays make a run either.

Should the Pistons Handle Iverson's Back Problem the Same Way the Lions Handled Kitna's?

    I might be misunderstanding your comment, but wouldn't "we were winning before the Iverson trade" further prove that we can win and play better without AI?  Did you mean "we weren't winning before the Iverson trade" ?  And if that's what you meant to say, I'd have to respectfully disagree with that also.  We were 2-0 before we traded for AI and we had made it to the Conference Finals 6 years in a row.  That's sounds pretty close to being the ultimate winning team, aside from actually winning championships every year, to me.

     According to a close source affiliated with the Pistons, there will be lots of changes this summer, and, opposed to not carrying through with his word last summer, Joe D. means it this time...
