 Thought #1 - I hope Manu Ginobili dressed as Crocodile Dundee for Halloween last night after the game. If you didn't catch it, there was a bat loose in the AT&T Center during last nights Kings - Spurs match up. Now I don't claim to know much about how to run an NBA arena, but seriously San Antonio? You have a bat problem? And on Halloween, none the less? Come on guys, were you really strugglin...

 In Game Three of the 2009 World Series between the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies we witnessed the first ever use of instant replay in a WS game. In the fourth inning, Alex Rodriguez sent a ball deep to right field. At first, it did not look like it would have the distance to land in the stands, but the ball carried to the wall. Upon first glance it looked like the ba...

 Thought #1- It sucks that you can't buy those cheap plastic Halloween costumes anymore. You remember, the ones that came with the mask that looked like a plastic paper plate with eye holes and was held on with that string that would no doubt break by the time you got to your third house. You also didn't get a mouth hole, so you just spent the entire night with your lips pressed against that thing,...

 As the World Series has shifted to Philadelphia for next three games, the Yankees have a dilemma. Who do you start in right field?
Nick Swisher had been the starting right fielder for the most part of the regular season and that role continued into the postseason. Swisher however has been in a terrible slump since the playoffs started. Looking to make a switch, manager Joe Girardi started Jerry ...

When Bruce Boudreau took over from Glen Hanlon as bench bosshe unleashed the Caps offensive potential. It seemed to be exactly what theCaps needed as they took off up the standings and never looked back. Bruce’ssystem (as I understand it) boils down to a simple philosophy that the bestdefense is a puck control, high pressure offense. Judging by what I’ve seen during Boudreau’s entiretenure ...

 Crisp friday night, the lights were bright, and the game was deep into the 4th quarter. Most of us Seniors were already done for the game as we had secured a win with a nice 45-0 lead over New Town High School.
As we all stood around with our helmets in hand, talking about the dance after the game. The ref blew the whistle and the game was over. We all ran on the field to shake hands and then ov...

 Thought #1 - Things seem pretty bad in the city of Cleveland right now. The Indians were awful, the Browns have A win, and now the Cavs are even stumbling through the first couple games of their season. But never fear C-Town, I have found your bright spot and his name is... Deputy Shaq! That's right Shaquille O'Neal has applied to be a "special deputy" in the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's office. O'Ne...

 Saturday will be the first home game for the Connecticut Huskies since the murder of teammate Jasper Howard. The defensive back was outside a university sanctioned dance when he was stabbed to death. Connecticut has many things planned in honor of Howard. This is sure to be a very emotional day, especially during pre-game festivities.
Once the ball is kicked off however, this battle between Big Ea...

 A.J. Burnett was signed in the offseason for these types of games. With the Yankees down a game in the World Series, they needed Burnett to give them a lift. I am sure many Yankee fans where very nervous going into the game, including me. Throughout the season, we never knew which A.J. Burnett would show up.
Last night we got the pitcher with ace stuff. You can usually tell how well Burnett is pi...

Through the first two games of the 2009 World Series, we have seen four good starting pitching performances. Even in the losing efforts, C.C. Sabathia and Pedro Martinez turned in solid starts that may have been wins if the guy starting for the other team was not wearing a cape. Do not get me wrong, here at The Sports Idiot we are not comparing A.J. Burnett to Cliff Lee. What Cli...
