2012 MLB Postseason – Cardinals vs Braves Predictions
Posted on 5 Oct, 2012, by Morgan in BaseballThanks to Adam Wainwright, there’s a little bit of bad blood in this one, as the Cardinals pitcher didn’t like seeing the way the Atlanta Braves players were celebrating making it into the playoffs after their late season collapse a year earlier, which allowed the St. Louis Cardinals their World Series run to begin.

2012 MLB Postseason – Orioles vs Rangers Predictions
Posted on 5 Oct, 2012, by gerakis100 in BaseballNot everyone is really sure that the way Major League Baseball chose to expand the playoffs is the right one, but the first chance to find out will be the Baltimore Orioles playing the Texas Rangers in a one-game wild card playoff clash, opening the 2012 Baseball postseason.

Oakland A’s and Washington Nationals Defy Big Payroll Policies
Posted on 4 Oct, 2012, by gerakis100 in BaseballIs having a big payroll a waste of money in the MLB? I guess it all depends on how you manage that salary expenditure. The New York Yankees, constantly the highest paying team in Baseball, are pretty much a constant fixture in the postseason. The success of the Oakland Athletics and the Washington Nationals is a little bit more surprising. More
Miami Marlins – Worst Season in Over a Decade
Posted on 3 Oct, 2012, by gerakis100 in BaseballNew ballpark, Marlins Park, didn’t help. Signing free agents worth more than $200 million didn’t help. Bringing in Ozzie Guillen to be the manager certainly did no good. Nothing seemed to work for the ambitious project that was supposed to make the Miami Marlins into a force to be reckoned with. More
St. Louis Cardinals – Better Than Last Season?
Posted on 23 Aug, 2012, by Morgan in BaseballThe World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals just might be better this season than they were last year, with Albert Pujols and Tony La Russa, when they went into the postseason as a wildcard team and went on to beat the Texas Rangers in 7 games. This year, all the stats show this team is better in 2012, but the win-loss record tells us different. More
Felix Hernandez & Stephen Strasburg With No Postseason for Different Reasons
Posted on 22 Aug, 2012, by Morgan in BaseballNo one actually knows if limiting a pitcher to a certain amount of innings each seasons works. Felix Hernandez is throwing 230-240 innings a season and he’s never played less than 30 games excluding his rookie year. Stephen Strasburg is at 139.1 this season after 24 starts, which means he’ll be shut down in 20.9, according to everyone within the Washington Nationals organization. More
Ichiro Suzuki With His First Big Game (Red Sox vs Yankees)
Posted on 20 Aug, 2012, by Morgan in BaseballNot that he hasn’t had big games in the past, but for Ichiro Suzuki to hit his first multiple home run game, as a New York Yankee, against the Boston Red Sox, is completely different than anything else he’s done in the past with the Seattle Mariners. Like it or not, it simply means more on a national level. More
Houston Astros – Can’t Get Any Worst
Posted on 19 Aug, 2012, by Morgan in BaseballThe Houston Astros won’t go down as the worst team in MLB history, already beating four teams on that notorious list with a record of 39-82 deep into August. But while it isn’t exactly surprising that they’re the worst in the league, no one expected it to be this bad, despite all the changes made since Jim Crane took over. More
Boston Red Sox – The End of the Bobby Valentine Era?
Posted on 15 Aug, 2012, by gerakis100 in BaseballHow bad is it for the Boston Red Sox in 2012? Well, 57-60 deep into August, 12.5 games behind the division leading New York Yankees and 6.5 games away from the Wild Card spot, occupied by two teams from the AL East. As postseason might have showed, the Bobby Valentine experience isn’t going too well. More
The Usual Problems in Yankee Stadium (Yankees vs Rangers)
Posted on 14 Aug, 2012, by Morgan in BaseballIt wasn’t about David Phelps pitching through five straight innings for the first time or Derek Lowe making his debut for the New York Yankees with 4 fantastic innings. It was mostly about how the Texas Rangers lost their lead of the AL after another disastrous outing in the new Yankee stadium. More

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in Swimsuit Calendar Photoshoot
While the Dallas Cowboys are no longer the force they used to be in the NFL, the allure and prestige of being a Cowboys cheerleader is still a thing to envy for some girls (and maybe even boys), and is generally a pleasing thing to see when the ladies join forces to create a swimsuit calender, posing in bikinis on the Mexican island of Cozumel.
