Subtract one superstar in Sidney Crosby, add one period of excellent team defense, three periods of a stellar Henrik Lundquist, Sean Avery and Brandon Dubinsky and the total is: A convincing 5-2 Rangers win, 2 points in the standings and a bit of a reprieve from their recent futile Florida trip. After a 1st period of more free handouts than your local soup kitchen, Coach Tom Renney called a Read Full Story

1:00am EST in NY: still packing and making sure nothing is forgotten, especially getting rid of almost everything in the fridge. I forgot to do that once... We leave tomorrow and it can't happen soon enough. Assuming I'm all settled and not completely wiped out by the trip and keeping track of the boys, I'll post again sometime tomorrow night/early Sunday morning from PSL. Mets win 8-2 Read Full Story

I've posted pictures from spring training '07 in preparation for my upcoming Port St. Lucie trip. As I take pictures over the next two weeks in PSL, I'll update the Pictobrowser; it will eventually point to a new Flickr set and only contain '08 photos. Now I'm trying to figure out how to "sticky" this post... Update: There seems to be a problem with IE6 users not being able to view the Read Full Story

The NY Post has yet another rumor about Mets interest in what I assume would be a temporary replacement for Moises Alou, this time concerning Shannon Stewart (no, not this one) and Reed Johnson. Unfortunately for me, Matthew Artus over at Always Amazin' has already beaten me to the punch and punched the rumor senseless. So, for those of you keeping score, that now links the Mets to EIGHT (8) Read Full Story

The streaking and dare I say the hottest team, not just in the Eastern Conference, but in the entire NHL, beat the Sabres last night. In earning a 3-2 shootout win at HSBC arena, the New York Rangers now have the longest point streak in the NHL this season, having earned at least a point in every game over their past 13 contests. The win moves them to 10-0-3 in their last 13, and an incredible Read Full Story

Today will be one of those short and quick postings day; I have papers due, a test tonight and a mid-term Saturday. Maybe I can get graded on my blog postings instead... Read Full Story

While slumming on YouTube, I found this hilarious video from 1986. Are those Members Only jackets?! So the Disco Dodgers were making videos in '86, while NY had a parade. Parade. Video. Parade. Video. Hmmmm... From a commenter on YouTube, "Please, for the love of God, make it stop!" Read Full Story

Carlos Delgado and Carlos Beltran will see their first spring training action against the Red Sox this afternoon. The game will be at Tradition Field in PSL, airing on SNY at 1:00pm. Mets fans will be happy to see two big pieces of the Mets line-up finally take the field this spring, but there are of course still causes for concern on the part of Delgado. The Mets front office must be Read Full Story

There was a playoff intense hockey game played at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon. Somewhere along the way, someone forget to tell the New York Rangers and the Boston Bruins that the new NHL is all about wide-open play. Goaltenders Henrik Lundquist and Alex Auld had 64 saves between the two of them; they must have missed the NHL memo on the request for a higher goal scoring rate. Two Read Full Story

Mets win again, 3-0 over the Astros. Jose Reyes led off the game with a line-shot home-run over the right-field fence. David Wright hit the ball hard the opposite way, with a triple to show for his efforts. Angel Pagan continues to hit and on top of a crisp, efficient win, there was a Jose Valentin sighting. Who knows where Jose will wind up, but it was good to see him back. NY is now 8-4 on Read Full Story
