This came across my screen this morning, and while I am most certainly a Red Sox fan, I am not one that hails and covets all things Jason Varitek. In fact, I’m extremely positive that his production is not worthy of being a starting catcher for a Major League Baseball team, let alone one that [...]

This Week on the Internets (10 August 2009)
Quite a bit more to talk about today than last week, which was primarily a discussion of Chad Gaudin with an intense Yankees fan for those of you who missed it. Enthralling. This week, plenty to discuss… I’m not quite sure exactly where to start. On the internal side, a few important developments. First, you [...]

To The Rest Of MLB: Don’t Group All Cubs Fans With One Drunken Idiot
An ugly incident occurred last night at Wrigley Field, when a full beverage was dropped on the head of Philadelphia Phillies’ centerfielder Shane Victorino as he made a catch in the fifth inning.

I really wish that we had the time today to “live blog” the first-round of the PGA Championship, but since it seems like none of us do, we’ll offer someone else who is. The best one out there today seems to be Jason Sobel, on ESPN. We hate to feed the beast, but you can’t [...]
NFL Oh-Nine Previews: AFC East
Back when Smokey and I were doing our own thang at the Sports Brethren, we would double-team a weekly post about every Carolina Panthers game. We might not see eye-to-eye on everything, but we always brung the heat and the passion in our weekly chronicles of the NFL’s greatest team. Here at the Cube, we’re [...]

A more surprising winning streak vaulted a team from the bottom, as an [...]
Breaking Down the NL Central…It’s a Two Horse Race
Since the beginning of the season, the NL Central has been the tightest overall division race in all of baseball.

With approximately two months two go [...]
