Former New York Yankee Hideki Irabu was found dead this morning. This is sad and stunning news for the tortured right hander, and reports are now out saying that he committed suicide. In his rookie season in 1997, Irabu went 5-4 with a 7.09 ERA in 13 games (nine starts) for New York. In three [...]
TweetThe Chicago Cubs have traded RF Kosuke Fukudome to the Cleveland Indians for two minor league prospects this morning. Fukudome came to the Cubs after a successful stint in his home land of Japan, but ultimately was more of a bust than what he was thought to be. Signed to be a middle of the [...]
TweetThe Seattle Seahawks have reportedly agreed to terms with free agent WR Sydney Rice. This is an absolutely monster sign for the Seahawks moving forward with a new quarterback, a second year coach, and a new system.

Carlos Beltran is on [...]
TweetThe Chicago Cubs are going to be sellers by the July 31st deadline, and one of their best sluggers, Carlos Pena could be on his way out of town. I personally think Carlos Pena would be outstanding trade bait for any team looking to add power and a glove by the deadline. Where could he [...]
TweetOnce again, the Chicago Cubs show why their arguably the worst team in professional sports right now. Yeah. I said it. Again. After watching the first two games of the Phillies series, and then reading about the train wreck that was yesterday’s game- I have come to the conclusion that going to Wrigley Field is [...]
TweetThe MLB All-Star game is the “American Idol” of professional sports. Home field advantage is not decided by a team’s record or even feats accomplished during the regular season, but instead it is determined by the fan. How can something so crucial in deciding the crowning of the world champions be left in the hands [...]
TweetThis is taking sports fan to a whole new level, and if I were Dirk Nowitzki…I would be very afraid. Likely file a restraining order…at least something. With the Dallas Mavericks winning their first NBA finals, it’s not a surprise some fans are going a little over board, but this likely tops the cake. Derek [...]
