After brief discussions regarding instant replay, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has let the world know he’s made another decision: baseball will not use an expanded form of instant replay during the 2010 postseason. Selig and the special committee that recommended changes to the 2011 schedule met on Monday night to discuss the possibility, but quickly but a stomp on the idea. In October instant replay will remain limited to reviews of home run balls and nothing more.

Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Injuries, MLB,
When Josh Hamilton crashed into the wall while catching a Delmon Young fly ball on Sept. 4, he probably wasn’t thinking about the injuries he might sustain. Now, almost three weeks later, it’s been revealed that he has two fractured ribs and may be out of the Rangers’ lineup for more than just the rest of this season. Hamilton is still hardly able to rotate his body, much less swing a bat, and his recovery continues to stall.

Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, NHL, Rumors,
Eric Belanger’s offseason wasn’t the typical team shopping that most free agents experience. Belanger signed a deal with the Phoenix Coyotes, but that came after a deal that was more than done fell through with the Washington Capitals. Belanger became the victim of the free agent game and in the end chose to walk away from the organization. But was it the right move for he and his agent to make this situation a public one?

Dotel leaves Dodgers like so many before him
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, MLB, Trades,
First Manny, now Octavio. The Dodgers released another of their older roster players on Saturday when the Rockies claimed Octavio Dotel off waivers for a player to be named later. The Dodgers aren’t mathematically eliminated from the postseason yet, but it will take a heck of a lot of stumbling around for them to make a playoff push. By this time next week, the Dodgers will be playing rookies and resting veterans; if they have any left, that is.

Sundays in the fall… for every red-blooded sports fan, it means being lost from noon to midnight in all things NFL, including pre-game and post-game analysis.

Let’s be honest, your favorite NFL team will only play about three hours and you’ll have some time, so spend it playing Fantasy Live’s Fantasy Live Challenge!
Fantasy Live Challenge is a very abbreviated version of the ever-popular game of fantasy football. Instead of the tediousness of drafting, the feeling of disappointment because you missed out on a certain player, and the waiting game of knowing if you’ve won or not, Fantasy Live Challenge is a quick game of competitive satisfaction where you select players in games happening in real-time during a designated 20-minute period.
First off, you’ll need to join a competition and then select one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, and one kicker and hope they all score as much as possible in your 20 minutes. You can even create your own challenge and play against friends to see which one of you knows their football and can prove it! Since there is a possibility of playing multiple games during the day, you can prove your football knowledge over and over again!
Fantasy Live’s Fantasy Live Challenge is addictive and gets your attention whole-heartedly, so drop everything and play! It will be the best and most intense 20 minutes you’ll spend on a Sunday.
Denny McLain’s 31 victories untouchable in today’s game?
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, MLB,
In 1968, Denny McLain won 31 games for the Detroit Tigers during a World Championship season. His 31-victory total has not been touched by any pitcher in baseball since. Detroit’s four-man pitching rotation gave them more opportunities than today’s teams to field higher-quality pitchers throughout the season, and it paid off by the end. Today, with less than three weeks left in the season, we have yet to see a pitcher win 20 games.

Tom Zachary’s pitch to Babe Ruth will forever live in infamy
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, MLB,
Tom Zachary was a pitcher. He wasn’t a particularly astonishing pitcher, but he wasn’t outright terrible either. He pitched for seven different teams between 1918 and 1936 and racked up an incredibly average 186-191 record with a 3.73 ERA and 720 strikeouts. His best season came in 1921 with the Washington Senators when he recorded 18 wins. He won two World Series titles, first in 1924 with the Senators then again in 1928 with the Yankees.

Trio of youngsters ready to shine for the Edmonton Oilers
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, MLB,
When the Edmonton Oilers start the 2010-11 season, they’ll ice a trio of 19-year-olds. First-overall pick Taylor Hall, World Juniors clutch man Jordan Eberle and Swedish phenom Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson are all set to make their NHL debuts with the NHL’s reigning worst-place team. Okay, Hall is technically 18-years-old, but he’ll turn 19 in November, so he gets a pass this time. He’s still the most likely of the trio to break camp with the Oilers anyway.

Major League Baseball released a tentative 2011 schedule and it included a major change that will drastically impact both the beginning and the end of the season. It starts on a Thursday and it ends on a Wednesday. Opening Thursday actually takes place in March, no less, after a shortened Spring Training season. This change comes in an effort by the league to avoid playing a World Series in November as not only has the season seemingly gone longer and longer each year, it’s also just really cold.
