Surprisingly the Indians are seventh in baseball in ERA, led by the strong performance of the starting rotation. Arguably Josh Tomlin has been the Indians’ most consistent pitcher this season, behind Justin Masterson, after throwing another quality start against the Royals last night. His ERA currently sits at 2.33, and his WHIP sits at a stunning 0.89. [...]

As a sports fan, it doesn’t get much better than early spring. During the course of a few weeks, there’s March Madness, spring training and opening day, the Masters, and, of course, the beginning of the NBA Playoffs.

This year promises to be filled with drama, as marquee teams — such as the Lakers, Spurs, [...]

The first period of Game 5 was all Buffalo Sabres, as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead and chased goaltender Brian Boucher from the festivities. The Philadelphia Flyers and their home crowd were down and out, and it looked as though Buffalo would easily waltz to a 3-2 series lead.

On Friday, Wisconsin Badgers starting point guard Jordan Taylor was named a finalist for the new Eddie Sutton Tustenugee Award, given to the player who best shows tenacity and unselfishness on the court.

Taylor joins California’s Jorge Gutierrez, Butler‘s Matt Howard, Duke’s Kyle Singler and Arizona’s Derrick Williams…

Hey look at that! A Luol Deng sighting! The Chicago Bulls finally got a legitimate second scoring option in their 88-84 win over the Indiana Pacers, as Deng contributed 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Derrick Rose FINALLY got some scoring help.

-He sure didn’t get any offense from Carlos Boozer who scored a whopping four…

So, I’m feeling kinda bored right now and in need some attention LOL.
