ESPN HeadlinesToday’s previews are on a pair of teams that made the National League playoffs last season. One has a good chance to return, but the other figures to regress somewhat. First up, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the defending NL West champs. Unless a major surprise from the projected back of the division occurs, the Dodgers [...]
Today’s reports are on a pair of teams that narrowly missed postseason play in 2008. I believe both teams have the stuff to get to October this season, but neither is a sure thing by any stretch. The Minnesota Twins should have won the AL Central last season. They failed to do so because they [...]
Two-a-day previews continue with a pair of entries that have established very definite tendencies over the last several seasons. One hasn’t won in ages, the other is in the hunt every season. The Kansas City Royals haven’t been relevant for many moons. A combination of an unwillingness to spend money, along with what can only [...]
Today’s previews are on a pair of teams that produced winning records in 2008. One looks like it might be better than projected again, the other would appear to be in major trouble. The Florida Marlins have actually already scored their biggest win of the year. They’re finally going to get their new stadium after [...]
Two-a-day previews continue today with a pair of teams that fell dramatically short of expectations in 2008. For one, there’s optimism that the new season will see a return to contention. For the other, things look mighty bleak once again. Is it only one year ago that the Colorado Rockies were entering the season as [...]
Last year during the NCAA tournaments, I discussed how college hoops had become top heavy. The elite teams were REALLY good…and had moved further ahead “of the pack” than the betting markets had realized. Ultimately, the top four seeds all advanced to the Final Four for the first time ever. They were able to do [...]
Today’s previews are on the two Buckeye State entries, the Reds and Indians. The Cincinnati Reds are garnering lots of support as one of this year’s surprise teams. Well, first of all, it’s not exactly a surprise if it’s being talked about by so many analysts. Secondly, I’m not seeing why the Reds are suddenly [...]
Big League Baseball ‘09 previews continue today with a look at the two Windy City entries. The Chicago Cubs were the class of the NL Central in 2008, and seemed poised to get to the World Series for an opportunity at ending a century of frustration. Instead, it was just another brutal ending for their [...]
Today’s focus is on a pair of AL East entries that have been experiencing radically different fortunes of late. One team has put their mythical curse to rest and they’re now expected to contend every season. The other has a rich history, but has been nothing short of horrendous lately. The Baltimore Orioles used to [...]
The start of the 2009 MLB campaign is nearly here, so it’s time to shift into summer mode and start focusing on my favorite sport. I’ll have what will hopefully be some very solid baseball info nearly every day, some of it gaming-oriented, some geared to fantasy baseball and lots of general observations. Over the [...]
