Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

Being geographically close to Cleveland, I feel bad for my fellow sports fans who root for Cleveland teams.  Admittedly, I am a Cavs fan and will continue to root for the team with a shiny new record for most NBA losses in a row with 26. The overall compilation ...

YSU Football Profiles: Jamaine Cook

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

Jamaine Cook is probably the quietest and most humble YSU Football Player I have ever interviewed.  He doesn't like to talk about himself too much, is quick to praise members of his team, and takes the politically correct answer in the shortest form that he can present it.  The introverted ...

Scrappers Can’t Guarantee Lebron Will Stay But Shut Out Jamestown, 3-0

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

The Mahoning Valley Scrappers promo department deserves props for a good turnout of 4,600 Thursday.  Not only was it buck night, but it was also the big "Keep Lebron in Cleveland" promo.  Scrapper pitching was also worthy of praise.  Mahoning Valley starter Owen Dew threw six perfect innings and the ...
