Look, i love a short, fat pitcher as much as anyone, but was Joe Blanton cheating last night? http://www.tampabay.com/sports/baseball/rays/artic le873185.ece i think the most salient line of the section about Blanton is the last: "The story was originally posted on MLB.com based on a raw feed from Fox TV, then withdrawn." It's entirely possible the concentrated spot on the bill of his cap was simply dirt, accumulated for however amount of time. But it was pretty conspicuous how he would wipe... Read More

Welcome to the spotlight, "Big Game" James.  James Shields, Tampa Bay's best pitcher all year long, lived up to his manufactured nickname with a stellar performance starring 0-2 in the face.  Shields went 5.2 shutout innings, allowing seven hits, two walks and recording four Ks.  And when manager Joe Maddon went to lift him inthe sixth, man, he was PISSED.  You could see it in his face. Dan Wheeler got out of the two-on one out jam, and lefty David Price went 2.1 innings... Read More

But I'm honestly trying to find a game where I th... Read More

Today I'll preview the NFC East. I know, the title is awful. Couldn't help it.
Dallas Cowboys-13-3. The real question is-can Tony Romo finally win a playoff game? I think the offense will be very, very good. Marion Barber, Felix Jones, TO, Tony Romo, Jason Whitten. I don't think the regular season will be a problem, they just need to show they can get it done in the playoffs.
New York Giants-9-7. I think the Giants will struggle this year. I didn't think they would be great anyway, and th... Read More
