Mahoning Valley Thunder Profile: Larry Harrison

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Larry Harrison is one of those guys who can talk about anything.  I have seen him talk to management, coaches, fans, kids, media, and members of his Mahoning Valley Thunder team.  The fact that he can adapt his conversation level to suit who it is he is talking to makes ...

Jack Nicklaus Tells Tiger Woods To “Quit Babying The Leg”

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Watching Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods play in a skins event on the Golf Channel was fun stuff to see.  All the proceeds went to charity and it seemed as though all eight golfers playing at Nicklaus' course in Dublin had a pretty good time. Since Jack Nicklaus is the prototype ...

Pirate fans, meet Andrew McCutchen.  McCutchen has been the Pirates #1 offensive prospect over the past couple of seasons.  His time is now.  With the departing of Nate McLouth, McCutchen will have a chance to play every day in the Pittsburgh OF.  Here are some stories from other great sites:  Major ...

Nate McLouth Traded To Braves

Was a softball coach from Maine fired because she is a lesbian or because she made her team walk through sheep feces, submitted by Sports Rubbish. Major ...

Why Playing Golf Annoys The Hell Out Of Me

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Admittedly, I suck at golf.  I am one of those guys who for the past ten years played about once a week and could never get better.  I always had a few shots that would give me the false sense that I was getting better, making me want to go ...

Paul Maholm – Hard Luck Loser

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Paul Maholm took another one on the chin Sunday.  He pitches well enough to win almost every time he takes the mound.  Unfortunately for Paul, he is a Pittsburgh Pirate.  Being a Pirate pitcher means that if you give up a run in the first five innings, there is a ...
