LA Can reclaim Sports Capital title of the US with World Series Win

Lakers did what they needed to, its time for one or both LA teams left in the MLB to cash in and make it to the World Series. Can we be seeing an all LA showdown? That would be maddenss in the city of Angels. Lets make it a reality!

Saying goodbye to a legend

For the past 8 seasons, the city of Toronto has been building baseball teams filled with exciting talent. Players with the potential to lead the league in many different catergories with amazing amounts of talent. All of the moves over the years were in direct result of this man, Jon Paul (J.P.) Ricciardi.

J.P. Ricciardi’s demise wasn’t surprising, however. Sports commentators all over the MLB and espically those of the Toronto Sun have been perdicting this for months now. Throughout the last two season the Jays fans have seen talented players such as AJ Burnett, BJ Ryan, Alex Rios, Troy Glaus and several others leave to play for other contenders, most within the American League, and the best of them going directly to the rivals in the East. Managers like John Gibbons could not keep their control of the club house, and Gaston today continues to do so. Declines of players with large, long term contracts such as Vernon Wells have not produced, and up and coming stars such as Dustin McGowan have been plagued with injury. This season alone tells the story of this franchise, with the hot start as the best team in the league with the highest expectations and buzzes throughout the AL, to a 9 game skid to completely drop them down and build a hole that was impossible to climb out of. Only 2 years ago this same club finished with the 2nd best record in the AL East, just missing the playoffs by the skin of their teeth. But bad luck has been the story of Ricciardi's leagacy in Toronto. In all 8 seasons in front office, he failed to land the Blue Jays in a single Playoff berth. The future is uncertain for this ball club, as they have lost many players in the past, and their hall of fame ace Roy Halladay is getting knocks from just about every other ball club in the league.

Exciting stuff, Dontcha know?!

The Twins are shocking the MLB! Now only 1/2 a game behind the Tigers to go to the Postseason with 1 game remaining, 2 for Detroit who plays at home Versus Chicago tonight. Tomorrow marks the last regular season game ever at Hurbert H. Humphery Metrodome, a building in which the twins last carried the crown in 1987. Can they make sparks fly one last time and keep the season rolling into the postseason?

In order for that to happen it'll take a losing effort from these guys, the highly overrated Detroit Tigers. Look, as exciting as this race may be, were looking at the AL Central, the only division in the league that 86 wins will be enough to land a Postseason crown. And what a race. Simply put, congrats to whichever team wants the right to be swept out come next Saturday by the Yankees.

I smell a 4th Jackson 3peat

Call me crazy, but if this man repeats, does anybody on earth think he won't return one last season for a shot at a 4th 3peat!?! No coach would fall short of the hall of fame with one, which is almost impossible. Just look at the numbers
Number of Championships
Phil Jackson Basketball 10 Red Auerbach Basketball 9 Scotty Bowman Hockey 8* Toe Blake Hockey 8 Joe McCarthy Baseball 7 Casey Stengel Baseball 7 Vince Lombardi Football 5

I hate to break it to you Mark Cuban, but the best line-up in all of Sports today is definately going to repeat, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the Zen Master will go for gold again next season, healthy hip or not

OCTOBER IS HERE!!!

Yes, the most magnificent month of the year. No, not because the weather begins to decline. Not even for the fact that we engulf ourselves with candy at the end of the month. October is the only month of the year that all 4 major sports are all taking place at the same time. NHL Hockey season is just underway(Oct.1), NBA preseason starts next week (Oct. 7), NFL football is approaching its 4th week of excitement, and, best of all (in my opinion) a new MLB baseball season begins and ends all in one month. It's an opportunity for 8 teams that worked hard all season to duel it out till the bitter end. Despite how hard these 8 teams (LA Angels, Detroit Tigers or Minnesota Twins, NY Yankees, Boston Red Sox, LA Dodgers, Colorado Rockies, Philadelphia Phillie's, and St. Louis Cardinals) played this season, the only thing that matters is who plays the hottest this month. Every game is an epidemic, one that means everything to each team involved, and after one day of mayhem it starts all over again tomorrow until there's only 1 team left. The action gets underway Tuesday, stay tuned!
