Dodgers vs Phillies
Game 3
ESPN



Todays a huge game for the Dodgers, not only is it being aired on national television, (which can show the fans in the eastern part of the nation that the Dodgers have some of the best young talent) but were also trying not to get swept.

Joe Blanton takes the mound for the Phillies, while Hiroki Kuroda is on for the Dodgers. Today, the Dodgers need to somehow get rid of this horrific defense we have seen as of late and also need to be a little more patient at the plate (especially Russell Martin).

Baseball has forever been known as America's pastime. Through the good times and bad times, baseball fans have always been their to cheer on their favorite team. This season it is no different with plenty of things to cheer and boo about. This year is sure to be one of the most eventful years ever to occur in baseball history. Whether it is the new arrivals to the game or ancient records being shattered it is sure to be an exciting season.
The home run record has always been one of the most coveted records of all time. The homerun record has been Hank Aaron's since April 8th 1974, the day in which he hit his 715Th homerun of his illustrious career. At the end of Aaron's career he had 755 homeruns a mark that seemed untouchable. This year however, we have a new and improved Barry Bonds who comes into this season with 735 homeruns, just 22 homeruns shy of breaking Hank Aaron's all time homerun record. This will be one of the most anticipated events of the season and is sure to be one marred by controversy over Barry Bond's ties to Balco.
This year it appears Boston fans have already caught on to the new baseball phenomenon sweeping the country. He is known in his homeland of Japan as Daisuke Matsuzaka, but here he is known only as Dice-K. Dice K was Boston's biggest purchase of the offseason and has already shown that he has the goods in spring training. Daisuke has a vast repertoire of pitches and is known for doing well in pressure situations. He is sure to be fun to watch as he battles the Royals in his first major league start on Thursday April 5Th.
This year we might also have to introduce a new member into the 3000 hits club as Craig Biggio try's to become the 27Th player to ever achieve that mark. Craig Biggio is just 70 hits shy of 3000. He will be starting his 20Th year in a Houston Astro uniform. Craig has always been the influence for the team having played his whole career as an Astro. This achievement is sure to be one of happiness for Craig, the Astros, and Astro fans everywhere.
As can be seen this year is sure to one of the most exciting baseball seasons of all time. Through the times of controversy and hardship though we can always be sure that the true baseball fans will always return to cheer for their favorite teams come October.

The unthinkable has happened today. Just one day after April Fools day the Florida Gators have repeated as NCAA basketball champions. With a win over the Ohio State Buckeyes today they became the first team to hold Championships in both basketball and football at the same time. Ironically enough both of their championships have been won by defeating Ohio State. This repeat would not have been possible if it were not for the determination of last years players to forgo the NBA for a chance to win glory in a repeat. With this repeat the Florida Gators can write their names in the record books as the only team to ever repeat with the same starting five. The Florida Gators had the heart and support of nearly all Florida gator fans. The players even carried posters that contained every signature of the championship Florida football team as an inspiration. The key to their win over Ohio State was stopping standout freshman Greg Oden and shooting an astounding 10 of 18 from the three point line. Their offensive surge was lead by Al Horford who had 18 points. The gators usual star Joakim Noah got into foul trouble early causing other team members to step up their game and defeat the star studded Ohio State team. The championship was won not only with basketball talent, but also with heart. Some would even that this year's gator team was more then just a team it was a family.

Well, after a long break we are back writing articles. Hopefully, most of you have not forgotten about us, and will continue to enjoy our articles.

Nearly two weeks after a very disgruntled Allen Iverson demanded a trade from the 76'ers, his wishes were answered. Today, it was announced that he would be traded to the Denver Nuggets for Andre miller, Joe Smith, and 2 future first round draft picks. This trade will pair Allen Iverson up with Carmelo Anthony who is second to only Iverson in scoring. The Denver Nuggets are not the only ones who are getting a good deal, the Philadelphia 76er's are picking up Andre Miller who is 3rd in the league in assists, along with Joe Smith who has an expiring contract, that will fit nicely into the 76er's luxury tax problems. This trade comes just 2 days after the Knicks and Nuggets brawl, which ended in Carmelo Anthony getting suspended for 15 games. I guess we will just have to wait until Anthony's suspension is over to see how Iverson and Anthony play together as a team. Until then we can just wait and see what drama unfolds as Allen Iverson leads the team while Anthony is away.

I'll be away for a short time on vacation but will return soon. Have a good one until then. Happy Holidays everyone.

Obviously this guy has some problems, whether its tourettes or just being plain stupid. Seriously though, could he have thought of a better sequence of words to say? Sounds like someone needs a lesson from Bobby Knight. But, at least he does save the whole thing by smiling at the end and showing us that everything is okay..
