As you baseball fans may or may not know, Cardinals' manager Tony LaRussa recently made a very bold move: he flipped Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday in the batting order. For the first time in about seven years, Albert Pujols is no longer batting third in the lineup and has been moved down to the. . . more

1. (2) Sharks-They had a superb week beating Los Angeles, Anaheim, and Buffalo. Ultimately though to retain the top spot they will need to win their Thursday showdown with Chicago to hang on to the top spot. 2. (3) Capitals-They have dominated the opposition during their six-game win streak.. . . more

Oh hey, look at that, both number one seeds managed to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. Sounds like this would be a normal occurrence, but it's not really at all. In fact, this is the first time it has happened since 1993. The league's top two quarterbacks, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning,. . . more

On Sunday, Mark Sanchez may not have become the first rookie quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl, but he can take solace in the fact that his loss will lead to some good. Prepared for every scenario, the NFL prints t-shirts, hats, and other apparel to celebrate playoff berths, postseason. . . more

And so it continues... The Houston Rockets' forward Tracy McGrady and the Philadelphia 76ers' guard Allen Iverson, despite missing much of the season, are both on pace to star in this year's NBA All-Star game in Dallas, Texas. This just gives the NBA players, coaches and the media another reason. . . more

1. Blackhawks-Chicago's superb play at home has been a large part of their success this year. Already off to a 2-0-0 start on their 8 game road trip they have entrenched themselves in the number 1 spot until we see otherwise. 2. Sharks-Right now San Jose is Chicago's biggest threat. If they. . . more

We see this happen every year. A team--usually a sixth seed who just barely squeezes in to the postseason--turns up the heat and slices through their opponents unexpectedly. Last year, it was the Cardinals, who reached the Super Bowl after putting up 30+ in all three of their playoff games against. . . more

Sometimes it gets a little tiring hearing the same droning sports arguments chanted and regurgitated mindlessly: "Muhammad Ali was the greatest ever", "Derek Jeter is clutch", "Hockey can't succeed in warm weather cities".... ugh. Let's address the third one... the other two assumptions are a. . . more

Pete Carroll Leaves L.A. to the NFL USC is in shambles. The PAC10 has caught up and in some respects surpassed the mighty Trojans. I don't believe Pete Carroll is leaving USC because of the inevitable investigations, reports, findings and sanctions - although it's not exactly a reason for him to. . . more

The NHL seems to be thinking of what it will do with the franchise in Phoenix, but the team seems to be on life support... so why keep the team there? This would be a perfect time to expand and realign some teams in the league while allowing the new owners of Phoenix to move the team out. I think. . . more

"Booing 'your' team is like calling your girlfriend ugly." ^^^That was one of the first quotes I made when I arrived here at AGM in the summer of 2006. Though it has been slanted and taken out of context on occasion I still see it as a very true statement. "Your" team isn't a reflection of you. It. . . more

Another "lazy, mindless response" to the persistent baseball argument by Dr. Commento, a.k.a. Uncle Manny. Numbers tell you exactly what you want them to. Numbers are 100% an accumulation and averaging of handpicked chosen hindsights. You cannot predict the future with certainty based on numbers. . . more

When all you've done is write, how can you ever be wrong? "One man's reason is another man's excuse" People who never predict anything are always most accurate with hindsight The world is flat. Television is a fad. Osama bin Laden is still alive. Global warming has nothing to do with volcanoes. . . more

The Seattle Mariners outfielder is talented and funny. The future Hall of Famer--he's actually already a lock for the HOF in my book--was quoted in the most recent Sports Illustrated (Year in Review issue): "Chicks who dig home runs aren't the ones who appeal to me. I think there's sexiness in. . . more

I was browsing a few sports sites to get a brief update on the recent events in the world of sports. I read about how the San Diego Chargers (12-3) won their tenth straight game, and earned a first-round bye after a 42-17 mauling over the bipolar Tennessee Titans (7-8). I also read about how the. . . more

"the pats have absolutely no class." I received this text from a friend of mine midway through the third quarter of today's Patriots' game, if you could call it "game."

Last season marked the NHL's full transition into the next generation. The league emerged from a 2004 lockout with an abnormally strong group of young prospects, and when 21-year old captain, Sidney Crosby hoisted the Stanley Cup, that group had officially come of age. No longer "Sid the Kid,". . . more

Week 3 in the NFL provided many exciting moments. Favre looked 27 again. Hines Ward passed the 10,000 yard mark. Eric Mangini has lost his team already and the NY Jets are undefeated. When I looked at the Jets and the Tennessee Titans earlier in the year, I expected one of these teams to be. . . more

Washington @ Detroit - Kevin Smith runs for at least 100 yards. *Detroit wins 17-14* Tennessee @ New York Jets - Tennesee has a weak D. Look for Sanchez to have a solid day. *New York wins 23-10 New York Giants @ Tampa Bay - No Plaxico, No problem. Mario Manningham has another good game as Eli's. . . more

*This is the Packer team we expected to see. The offensive line showed many a weakness in the 31-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Green Bay has given up an unrealistic 19 hits on QB Aaron Rodgers over the first two weeks. Cedric Benson ran roughshod over the Packer's 3-4. Where is Desmond. . . more
