Dwight Howard is right about one thing. As long as he is in Orlando he will never win an NBA title. As it looks right now as long as anyone is in Orlando they will never win a championship. Continue reading “Know Why The Orlando Magic Won’t Win An NBA Title? Look No Further Than The Front Office”

Before this season started I wrote an a post regarding the top-five fantasy baseball rookies for 2012. Within it, I spoke of Bryce Harper and Mike Trout, two guys we all expected to pay immediate dividends in 2012. While I ranked Harper higher (second) because of his power it pained me to do so, for reasons only Anaheim might understand. Continue reading “Bryce Harper Is Fun, Mike Trout Is Better”

When Chipper Jones tore his ACL on a play in Houston back in 2010 it was a devastating scene.
My childhood hero, aging and in the twilight of his career, laid in a heap on the field. With his future uncertain, Jones announced he would come back and made good. He was an All-Star in 2011, and is rounding out his Hall of Fame career in 2012 in spectacular fashion.
Which is why the announcement that Mariano Rivera would work his way back from an ACL injury he incurred snagging fly balls in Kansas City (ironically the sight of this years All-Star game where he hoped to make a different last impression) was a welcome one. Not just for New York Yankee fans, but for baseball in general. If anyone will be able to come back and finish it out with style, it’s Mariano Rivera.
