 Days after Missouri's route of Memphis in the sweet 16, John Calipari is looking at moving onto greener pastures. It has been reported that Calipari spent Sunday with University of Kentucky officials where he was offered a multiyear, multimillion dollar deal to become the next head coach of the Wildcats.
The head coach position at Kentucky has been open for 3 days now after Billie Gillespie wa...

 On Tuesday we told you that, according to Jason Stark of ESPN, the Phillies were working a deal with the Giants for lefty reliever Jack Taschner. Late Friday night they did just that, moving catcher Ronny Paulino to San Fransico in exchange for Taschner. So now the Phils have the second lefthander for their bullpen that they have been pining on all offseason. The r...

 I'm not saying they're going to the Final Four but i'm just saying....
First, let me recap last night's events:
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING
Nestled onto the couch at about 6:30 PM Central. Cracked open a Fat Tire, turned it to CBS......UCONN and Purdue....nice. Checked the Direct TV guide for the next game.....Duke vs. Villanova.....not cool, not cool at all, actually now i'm upset. Checked to...

Several people have shown interest in doing a fantasy baseball league. Unfortunately, only two people have actually signed up for the league, not including yours truly. If we do not have at least eight people signed up by Friday night, I am going to nix the league completely. So, either sign up, or bow out!...

 These #2 seed Memphis and #3 seed Missouri will face each other in the sweet sixteen Thursday night. These top seeds are right where they are supposed to be according to 'bracketology'.
For 'seeding' sake it looks on paper as if Missouri is the underdog. And in fact they are: Memphis -4.5
With that said here is why I think Mizzou will advance to the next round: defense.
Missouri's coac...

Chan Ho Park made his first start since tweaking his left hammy on Tuesday, and he did not disappoint. Unless you are pulling for him to implode. In that case, he sucked ass. In reality though, he pitched extremely well in his four innings of work. He gave up four hits while striking out seven and walking one batter. He did allow three runs to cross the plate, bu...

It looks like the Phillies have trimmed the search for their fifth starter down to two, with Kyle Kendrick being sent down to the minors. I never thought I would say this, but it is looking more and more like Chan Ho Park may win the job. While J.A. Happ has pitched extremely well in Grapefruit League play, he may get pushed into the bullpen because the Phillies desperately n...

Jack Taschner.
Stark also hit on Chase Utley, and the fact that in his second game back from hip surgery he is diving at balls up the middle. Looks like he still has the same mentality that has made him a fan favorite, as well as one of the top offensive two baggers in all of baseball.
In regards to the Braves, Stark says that Jason Heyward is the talk of the inner circles right now. S...

I was going to wait a few days to break this out, butSteve Henson of Yahoo Sports has forced my hand. Stephen Strasburg is a 20 year old phenom who can hit 103 on the radar gun. No, he is not a closer waiting to happen, he is theBoras will be representing this kid when he does turn pro.
