Filed under Uncategorized
With the holiday season in full force, things like family, friends and “togetherness” (psh) are getting in the way of the important things – fantasy sports, kickball and analyzing the New York Yankees. Here are some thoughts and updates I want to discuss before I get summoned to spend some more “family time”. CC Sabathia [...]
BEAT LA! Belief may be 76ers best weapon
December 17, 2010 by Mike Santa Barbara
Filed under MLB
The 76ers are riding high, having won seven of their last nine games. Their improved play has sparked renewed interest in the team from the media and fans. Which is saying a lot considering the current state of the Philly sports scene. The Philadelphia Flyers currently hold the NHL’s best record. The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing [...]

A Plan B for the New York Yankees
December 11, 2010 by craig.williams
Filed under Uncategorized
For the record, I’m in the camp of people who view Cliff Lee as Plan A, B, C, D, E and F. I think the New York Yankees should do whatever it takes to get Lee. If that means offering more money and/or more years than anybody else is willing to offer, so be it. [...]
Silver lining for 76ers
November 25, 2010 by Mike Santa Barbara
Filed under MLB
It’s been a tough season, to say the least, for the 76ers, so far. Though, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, let’s try to find the silver lining, and positives, if any exist within this team. The Sixers have failed to do the little things, on the court this season, that it takes to win games [...]

The Sixers got their third win of the season, haulting a 5-game losing streak, Friday night with a 90-79 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Thad Young led the way with 23 points, 8-13 from the field, coming off the bench. Lou Williams got back into rhythm contributing 19 points, also, off the bench. The Sixers [...]
Is Justin Upton On the Move?

Filed under Uncategorized
In a USA Today article, Bob Nightengale listed Justin Upton among several players who have come up in trade discussions. Now, I understand that popular opinion is that nobody on a team is 100% untouchable, but it still puzzles me that the Diamondbacks would give the impression that Upton is available. He did regress in [...]
New York Yankees: What If Pettitte Retires?
November 15, 2010 by craig.williams
Filed under Uncategorized
As we all know, Andy Pettitte has not made a decision on whether he will be returning in 2011. A lot of us expect him to come back for one more season, but February could very well come and go with Andy Pettitte remaining in Deer Park, Texas. In my last post, I expressed that [...]
76ers Lose to Mavs in Familiar Fashion
November 13, 2010 by Mike Santa Barbara
Filed under MLB
Early into the 2010-11 campaign the Sixers have given fans a reason to believe they could be improving, and also reasons to think they aren’t quite there yet. The Sixers fell to the Dallas Mavericks Friday night in Dallas, 99-90 in a game that ended in an all too familiar fashion. Fall behind early, stick [...]
