That’s because the Dominican team is listed as the favorite at betED.com to win the World Baseball Classic, thanks largely to A-Rod’s decision to play for the Dominican Republic instead of the U.S. team.
Mar 3rd, 2009 – As the Groin Pulls
It’s one of the annual traditions of spring training. Writers may wax poetic on the green grass, the bluer than blue skies and the endless possibilities each team may have for the upcoming season– but what baseball in March is really all about are hip-adductors, namely the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineusmuscles tearing, as out of shape ball players try to run from here to there.
This weekend features a lot of basketball action, both of the NBA and College variety. Plus, we highlight Sunday’s Shelby 427 Sprint Cup NASCAR race. In the NBA, the Detroit Pistons will try to avoid their ninth-straight loss when they face the Magic in Orlando, and the Cleveland Cavaliers visit the surging San Antonio Spurs, both games Friday night.
There is a lone African American out there who all are turning to. The ship has gone terribly off course – especially over the past few months – and only he apparently can set it straight.
It wasn’t long ago where everyone was prospering, the banks were lined up, flush with cash to contribute their bit to the cause. Now most are all but insolvent, corporations are falling left and right and things appear to be almost hopeless.
It’s a big weekend for basketball and prop bets, as we highlight two nationally televised NBA tilts Friday night, one NCAA matchup on Saturday, and the Academy Awards on Sunday.In NBA action, the Houston Rockets host the Dallas Mavericks, and the Los Angeles Lakers host the New Orleans Hornets.
Is there any other sport that better encapsulates the times we are in than stock car racing?
Just look at this past weekend’s signature event.
Labeled the “Great American Race,” Sunday’s Daytona 500 wasn’t great, and could hardly be called a race. But one thing it was for sure, it was American.
The angst, the outrage, the fan uprising, the media frenzy.
What about you? Shocked? Feeling letdown? Is baseball over for you?
Well, get over yourself. Everyone should have known years ago had we only been paying attention.
Thanks Super Bowl – now February gets to piss us off even more than usual.
The month that lingers on like a BBQ stain on a white T has just become even more onerous because all we have is a great game (the greatest game?) to look back upon – and little to look forward to.
Early Odds have already been released for the 2010 Superbowl Champion. Check in already at betED.com Sportsbook & Casino, for odds and future lines for Superbowl XLIV…
A suckage disclosure: Before getting going on this annual tradition of choosing the Super Bowl champeen, I should mention that I picked the Steelers to finish second in the AFC North behind the Cleveland Browns. As for the Cardinals, they also were supposed to be runners up in the NFC West behind the (ahem) Seattle Seahawks.
One day after Peyton Manning was named the NFL’s MVP, the league let him down with a toss of a coin.
It has been a long-time rule that tied NFL playoff games end in overtime with the first score. After Saturday, that rule has got a lotta folks all upset like.
San Diego took the ball after regulation and then proceeded to march down the field and score on their first possession of overtime allowing the Chargers to move on. The Colts were sent home without the league’s MVP having the opportunity to touch the football.
On the morning of September 15th, 2008, the news from Wall Street was disastrous. Later dubbed as another “Black Monday” by the media, John McCain insisted in a speech that same morning that “the fundamentals of our economy are strong.”
With those seven little words his run for the American Presidency effectively was over.
