Unlikely Road to Perfection
Apr 30th
By Ryan Warren aka Sportsfanatic10
Going into the 2012 season most Chicago White Sox fans have little hope of a World Series victory. Detroit has Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, and Justin Verlander. Minnesota has Joe Mauer, Cleveland has Asdrubal Cabrera and Ubaldo Jimenez and Kansas City has the next great thing Eric Hosmer. That just leaves Chicago, and well they have Philip Humber. Philip Humber was a highly touted prospect born and raised in Texas. Where he attended Carthage High School and he was drafted in the 2001 MLB draft in the 29th round by the New York Yankees (who at More >
The Long Road: Life in the Minors
Apr 29th
By Noah Carter aka SappeltMan17
Everyone has that old minor league stadium near them. You Know, the one with the grandstands that aren’t ever full and of course the giant 5×10 aluminium signs advertising ” Dave’s Used Car World “. The stadiums in the downtown city or the seemingly wide open cow pastures in the middle of the mid west. These are the places where in July you can find teenagers making memories that they won’t ever forget and in September you can find some of the best baseball in the country. To the general public these fields are considered to More >

By Thomas Adams aka Cardncasebreak
Do you have a favorite sports team? Think about your favorite player on that team. Now imagine you just found out that they have been traded, retired early, or entered free-agency unexpectedly. How would you feel? Upset, relieved, happy, sad, angry, or just plain frustrated? You have that feeling? Now, also imagine you are an avid sports card and memorabilia collector. You have collected all the cards, autographs, jerseys, and memorabilia from your favorite star. But now he/she is moving to another team. Does this devalue the current memorabilia? Or the future team gear? Let’s take More >
My Fondest Childhood Memory
Apr 29th
By Thomas Drinan aka white_rabbit
Good afternoon, while some of you look familiar to me, the majority do not. So for those who do not know me I was my father’s oldest son. Those of you familiar with the two of us would more than likely describe our relationship as frustrating or even distant. Then again, those of you who are or have eldest born sons, may say our relationship was fairly normal. While that may have been true most of the time, today I want to share a story from my childhood with you which better describes how I choose More >
When Will Respect Be Given?
Apr 21st
By Andrew Hoyler aka Andrewhoya
Or will it ever? Ever since the beginning of the human race, women were looked down upon. They were rarely allowed to leave camp to go hunting, and were stuck with the cooking and cleaning. IT stayed this way for centuries and centuries, before women, led my Susan B. Anthony, proved to the world that they were better than everyone thought they were. They fought hard for their rights, and they were happy with what they received. But should they be completely happy?
Across the world, women are still looked down upon. One of the easiest places More >
I Feel a Draft
Apr 16th
by Drew Pelto aka *censored*
As a Cleveland native, I really don’t have a whole lot to live for in the sports world. The Browns are perennial cellar dwellers, the Indians don’t have the financial ability in MLB’s broken system to do much more than build for a big run every four years before blowing it up and starting again, and the Cavs are still a couple years away from contention with the additions of Irving, Thompson, and whoever they get in the next couple of drafts.
But the NFL Draft is our one Sports Christmas moment. It’s the one time where hope More >
