The Daily Sports Rant

…for 290 pound ace pitcher C.C. Sabbathia, offer from your New York Yankees.
What the heck is this world coming to?  Ok, I cant go on a rant on the salaries of players at this time.  Its been happening for far too long.  I remember when Donnie baseball signed a contract 20 years ago for $2 [...]

Phillies and Rays both have sick pitching. Always the deciding factor.
Just going with a gut instinct here. Fearless prediction — I see the Rays winning the World Series in 6 games. Lets just say its “Destiny”. One thing is for certain, both teams are young and so talented. Would [...]

Great shoot out win by the Rangers last night. Rangers looked solid but Toskala of the Maple Leafs was the difference. Steven Valiquette was in the nets and made some amazing saves…They deserved to win this game.

The Phils havent won the Series since 1980, when your “Phanatics” were led by Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Mike Schmidt [...]

Filed under the category of “are you really surprised”, when it mattered most.  For the second year in a row, the Mets had a chance to make the second season, with the final game and again folded like a wet taco…
I cant totally crap on the Mets, since my Yankees checked out almost 3 weeks [...]

Ok, I know this is NFL Football Sunday, but also there is still some meaningful baseball to be played
Again as I predicted in my earlier posts (sort of), it will come down to the last game for Los Mets.  Johan Santana pitched his mind out yesterday, going 9 innings on 3 days rest and blanking the Marlins 2 [...]
