(10.16.2008) - Frank Fedele
The American and National League Championship teams have one major thing in common right now, they are both 3-1. In both cases, the team with home field advantage is up. That is where the similarities end. On the National League side, you have a white hot team going suddenly cold. On the American League side, you have a young team growing up and older team aging before our eyes.

NBA
|
(11.18.2008) - Porfirio Diaz
The Suns and Rockets had another one of those “on-court altercations” that David Stern loves so much. However this one was rather tame compared to others NBA incidents. Therefore I have comprised a list of some of the most memorable altercations in NBA history. In addition to that, a word on Mark Cuban’s latest troubles, the Nets’ awesome PR move and more fun filling NBA news.

(11.12.2008) - Porfirio Diaz
So not only is Manu Ginobili out until December, but now so is Tony Parker. The Spurs have for so long depended on the trio of Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan to get the Spurs through the season. Now that two-thirds of that group is out with injuries, are the Spurs doomed for the rest of the season?
|
|
(11.05.2008) - Porfirio Diaz
There were already a couple of intriguing developments that happened during the first week of the NBA regular season. Oden hurt himself again, but it’s too early to declare him a bust.

|
(10.22.2008) - Porfirio Diaz
There are many reasons why NBA players may not have what it takes to endure another NBA regular season and one of them is age. As a player gets older, their skills naturally tend to go on the decline. With players such as Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, and Shaquille O’Neal being over the age of 30, do these players still possess any value for their respective teams and their careers?
