Around the Bases 6.28.06: Blowing Up
Sure, Lance Berkman and Phil Garner were both ejected from Monday night’s Tigers-Astros matchup, but they have nothing on this guy. Joe Mikulik, the manager of the Rockies’ single-A affiliate, absolutely went nuts after Koby Clemens (yes, Roger’s son) was called safe on an attempted pick-off. You’ve probably seen this video before, but you can [...]

Lidstrom Wins Norris Trophy… Again

Center Court 6.23.06: Knicks Sack Brown
- Honestly, I am somewhat surprised. The New York Knicks have fired head coach Larry Brown, and named Isiah Thomas their new coach. Brown is still one of the NBA's greatest all-time coaches, even if he couldn't get the egocentric youth of New York to buy into his system. I sure hope Zeke put a [...]

USA Eliminated from World Cup
For once, it looked like the USA could actually advance in the FIFA World Cup. After holding soccer powerhouse Italy to a 1-1 tie while playing shorthanded, it looked like the Americans could make it to the second round if the stars aligned. And everything was in place as we took the field to face [...]

2006 NBA Champions: Miami Heat
It seems as though the impossible has happened. Well, not really impossible, but it seems like a lot of Detroit fans were counting Miami out before the season even began. You were all wrong, myself included. Dwayne Wade was named the MVP and is now drawing comparisons to Michael Jordan, which I certainly do not [...]
