Aug 19, 2008 | 12:13PM | MJLJJKKB
Tim Wakefield, of the Boston Red Sox, is very overrated (and overpaid but most are) and if I was Theo Epstein I would try to trade him or release him. Lets look at his stats; In 534 games(2768 IP) he has only 6 shutouts he has allowed 2664 hits and 2... Read More

Things I Wonder About
Aug 17, 2008 | 6:39PM | HalfBaked
1) Where does Michael Phelps go from here?Not that it's necessarily a bad problem to have, but what do you do when you have conquered not just your own sport, but the entire sporting world before your 24th birthday? In the history of the modern Olympic Games, dating back into the 1800's, no individual has ever hauled in as many gold medals in a single Olympic Games as Phelps has won in 2008.Perhaps President of NBC would be a fair position to offer the kid, since the network has benefitted...

In a season of improbabilities for the New York Yankees, the improbable occurred again last night: Mariano Rivera threw a wild pitch – he has only thrown two in six years! – that cost the Yankees the game and dropped them 10½ games behind the Rays in the AL East and 7 games behind Boston in the Wild Card race.
The lost was to the last place Royals, and it was the Yankees’ second straig... Read More
