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…
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…
Your Florida Marlins just finished their series with the Philadelphia Phillies last night. The series was highlighted by the much-anticipated call up and debut of Marlins phenom prospect Mike Stanton. And the kid did not disappoint. Wish the same could be said for the bullpen, which, once again, crapped all…
Your Florida Marlins finished a four-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers last night. After a tough battle with the Phillies last weekend, including having a perfect game thrown against them (where was Jim Joyce then?!?) the Fish went all Samuel L. Jackson on the Brewers. Not sure what that means,…
The Florida Marlins bullpen has been blowing so many leads this season that it’s a lot like the BP oil spill: You know it’s coming, and it’s going to kill everything in the ocean. That’s right. Every time a Marlins reliever blows yet another lead, a baby sea horse dies…
With five ties and a win, the Miami FC Blues began the season on a six-game unbeaten streak. And although the team’s first victory didn’t come until its fifth match, the Blues continued to display their tough brand of defense, allowing just four goals in the first six games. Fast…
Last night, your Florida Marlins finished a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves and their tomahawk-choppin’ entourage (still doing that, Braves fans? Awesome.) Here’s how it all went down:Game 1, Marlins 6 – Braves 4: Tuesday night, the Braves trotted out starter Kenshin Kawakami, a guy whose season so far…
The only time the Florida Marlins can get attention from the national media is when their star player kicks a ball into right field, runs after it lackadaisically, and then publicly criticizes manager Fredi Gonzalez for benching him. Hanley Ramirez did just that, and ESPN backed its trucks into Sun…
At the start of May, the Florida Marlins had lost their offensive mojo. Well, there’s nothing like a series with the Mets to fix that! The Marlins swept New York in a four-game series that can only be described as “a good and thorough ass-denting.” Dan Uggla and his Gamma-Ray-fueled…
When Florida Marlins left fielder Chris Coghlan was called up in May 2009, he blasted his way onto the scene using only his big bat and heavy nut sack. In his first full season, Coghlan mauled opposing pitchers with extreme prejudice, batting .321 with a .390 on-base percentage, while knocking…

Led by sharp-shooting Ray Allen’s 24 points, the Boston Celtics put the Miami Heat away last night 96-86, closing out the series and ending the Heat’s season and OH MY GOD, DWYANE WADE, PLEASE DON’T LEAVE!!!It’s the Heat’s second straight first-round exit. In fact, the team hasn’t taken a playoff…
Greatness is forged through adversity: when one’s back is against the wall, when one is faced with a do-or-die situation, or when someone keeps reminding everybody that WE JUST MIGHT BE WITNESSING HIS LAST GAME IN A HEAT UNIFORM!Dwayne Wade is greatness. Even when besieged with the burden of being…
The Miami Dolphins entered the NFL draft with a plethora of needs, most notably at outside linebacker, safety, nose tackle and tight end. They spent their first pick on a defensive end, while pulling the ole switch-a-roo on us and moving Randy Starks to the defensive tackle position. PING! Defensive…
Welcome back to our second night of NFL Draft Live-Blogging! Brought to you in 3D!* (*-not really, but everything else is in 3D, so why not). Tonight we’ll roll through the second and third rounds, where the Dolphins hold the 40th and 73rd overall picks. Tonight’s blog will be more…
Here we go. Live-blogging the NFL Draft. Pretty much like watching the draft with someone as losery as yourself. Only on the Internet! This is the first time the NFL Draft is being held in prime time. Because you’re not buying enough KFC Double Downs for your fat-ass kids, dammit!…
No Florida Marlins player has come out of the gates hotter than this season’s third baseman Jorge Cantu. Two weeks ago, Cantu set a Major League record by becoming the first player in history with at least one RBI in his team’s first nine games. Cantu found himself tied with…
It’s been a solid season thus far for the Miami Hurricanes baseball club. Eric Erickson and his 2.51 ERA have been a sound, efficient force for the Canes’ rotation, holding batters to a .242 average as he looks to lead Miami back to Omaha in June. But to get to…
In a game that could only described as “refried ass, ” the Miami Heat were walloped by the Boston Celtics 106-77 in last night’s game two of the first round NBA Playoffs. The Heat managed to keep things close in the first quarter, rebounding after a slow start and even…
Other than Twitpics of Dorell Wright’s dong, it’s the worst thing a Miami Heat fan can ever see: Dwayne Wade, grimacing in pain with team doctors checking his wrist. It happened last night after the first half of Miami’s 111-98 win over the New York Knicks. But with playoff seedings…
The Miami Heat squeezed past an awful Philadelphia 76ers team last night in a win that can only be described as “Eleanor Rooseveltian.” But as unsightly as it may have been, a win is a win. Last night’s 99-95 victory was Miami’s ninth in a row. That makes nine straight…
