Your Florida Marlins last night finished their interleague series with the Baltimore Orioles. It was a series filled with ups, downs, stranded runners, bullpen implosions, and people getting fired. You know, just a typical week in the wacky world of Florida Marlins baseball! Here’s how it all went down:Game 1…
The former couple in happier times.Just days before Dwyane Wade become a free agent on the NBA market, he’s now free on the dating market. His eight-year marriage to high school sweetheart Siohvaughn Wade is officially done. A judge granted the divorce today after a prolonged and dramatic legal battle,…
University of Florida fans, so distraught over losing their beloved savior Timothy Tebow to the NFL’s Denver Broncos, apparently traveled to a hidden island floating far away in the ocean: the Island of Dr. Moreau (the crappy Val Kilmer version, not the Burt Lancaster version, obviously).They took a lock of…
We have no idea how much to believe Jalen Rose, an ESPN analyst (read: not an actual reporter) and former player, but he Tweeted today that there’s no way LeBron James is returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers next season.#NBA BREAKING NEWS (research/sources say) It is almost CERTAIN that LEBRON JAMES…
Team USA is moving on the knockout round of the World Cup the only way America knows how – with drama and determination and come-from-behind heroics! After overcoming even more crappy FIFA officiating, an unyielding Algerian goalkeeper, England’s 1-0 win over Slovenia, goal differentials, and Koman Coulibaly’s asscrack call in…
Well, well, well USC, who’s the big private college in a major city whose top tier football team has been struck with sanctions and put on probation now? Yeah, Hurricanes fans know what that’s like (though, we didn’t have to vacate any wins or, possibly,a national championship, sucks for you),…
Even after delivering a 10-4 win against the Baltimore Orioles last night, the Marlins have announced that they’ve fired manager Fredi Gonzalez and two other coaches: bench coach Carlos Tosca and hitting coach Jim Presley.”It is never easy to make a change in managers. Fredi has been with our club for…
It’s not exactly news that fans of different sports teams hate each other’s guts, but usually those teams play in the same league. The continuing war of words between Miami DolFans and Alabama’s Crimson Tide nation is a bit absurd considering one team is professional and the other is college…
We might not have been very good about sustaining an MLS team, but it’s pretty evident from World Cup ratings that Miami loves fútbol. According to data from Nielsen ratings, the Miami-Fort Lauderdale TV market has by far the most interest in watching the World Cup on television — even in…
America has a new enemy. And his name is Koman Coulibaly. He’s like Lex Luthor, because he’s bald and because he could be responsible for America’s downfall in the World Cup. But mostly, because he’s bald. By now the whole world knows had badly team USA got hosed on Friday…
Warning to baseball purists: Watch the above video with extreme caution, industrial-grade earplugs and a few highlight reels of the 1964 World Series handy to revive your sense of basic MLB dignity. The Marlins have brought vuvuzelas to baseball. Specifically, they handed out 15,000 of the horns that are currently…
Whew. So how exactly is a U.S. soccer fan to feel after this morning’s nail-biter against Slovenia? Pissed that the defense slept through the first half to give the Slovenes a 2-0 halftime lead? Exhilerated that the Yanks pulled off a stunning second half comeback to walk out with a…
The University of Miami is about to take its proud athletic tradition into a whole new arena: 3D simulation robot soccer. Yes, a simulated soccer team known as the “RoboCanes” will be heading to the RoboCup, aka the Robot Soccer World Cup, being held in Singapore from June 19th to the…
Your Florida Marlins just finished their interleague series with the Texas Rangers last night. Good thing the World Cup and NBA Finals were on all week, because — holy crap — was it ugly. Here’s how it all went down:Game 1 — Rangers 3, Marlins 2: Matt Treanor’s revenge! Former…
The Marlins seem intent on bringing currently the most dreaded part of the world’s favorite slow-paced, low-scoring sport to America’s favorite slow-paced, low-scoring sport: the blasted vuvuzela. Yes, the first 15,000 people (assuming more than that actually show up) to head to Saturday night’s game at Sun Life stadium against the…
Argentina 4, South Korea 1: As expected, Argentina has come out with guns blazing in this World Cup with two impressive wins thus far. None more than yesterday’s 4-1 drubbing of South Korea. Striker Gonzalo Higuain scored three goals while Lionel Messi wreaked havoc with his usual feats of awesome,…
With Joey Porter long gone Channing Crowder took the spot of the Dolphin’s top trash talker. Now with Tedd Ginn Jr. out of the way (thankfully), The Sun-Sentinel’s Omar Kelly seems worried that Crowder could also take the place of the fanbase’s whipping boy. Crowder didn’t help matters by pretty…
Miami’s rainmakers are stopping at nothing to keep Dwyane Wade in town. In May, the Miami Heat and a slew of corporate sponsors launched an online campaign — wewantwade.com — to convince the NBA MVP from fleeing to another team when he becomes a free agent in July. The website…
Newton’s universal law of gravity tells us that all motion is comprehensible and predictable, that it guides planets and asteroids and keeps billions of stars in orbit within the Milky Way. But the Brazilian national team, along with its magical style of play, apparently thinks Newton’s universal law of gravitation…
Last week, the Florida Marlins announced plans to install saltwater aquariums behind home plate in their under-construction stadium in Miami. Well, PETA, an organization that now seemingly exists only to release stupid press releases and dumb letters about animal things (seriously, what the hell is this?), wrote an inane letter asking the Marlins to…
Some would say the ultimate result of Saturday’s highly anticipated match between the U.S. and England was disappointing. The pre-game anticipation certainly didn’t help. It was six months of USA versus England! The Statue of Liberty versus Big Ben! Starbucks versus tea! James Bond versus Jason Bourne! Ronald Reagan versus…
On observers’ scratch sheets, Pat Curran should have lost. But when it comes to 15-minute cage fights, paper wisdom isn’t exactly a script. Sometimes the underdog wins. Sometimes he chops down old idols like dead trees. Sometimes he rewrites the ending in blood. That was the story when Curran knocked…
