The New York Yankees did it after all. They said they would win a World Championship and then went out and did just that. Never mind that they spent more money than some entire countries spend on the National budget. The bottom line is the the New York Yankees are once again the champions of the baseball world. Is it really that simple? Should we just acknowledge a job well done and leave it at that? If we do, then we are not being very good sportswriters are we now?

The MLB baseball playoffs are upon us and it looks like it is going to be a doozy. The match ups are looking like they are going to be really exciting, and the teams are a good mix of up and comers and old favorites.

WWE Hell In A Cell Pay Per View Results
The WWE has been floundering around a bit with the latest pay per views, so Hell In a Cell was kind of a chance for them to turn things around.

Matt Ryan Versus Joe Flacco - Who Is Better?
It is not very often that you have an NFL quarterback come into the league and see success in their rookie year. It is even more rare that you have a rookie quarterback start for their respective teams on opening day and start the whole season. It is a miracle when you have this happen to two young quarterbacks in the same season. Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan performed just that in 2008, and are now performing even better in 2009. Which of these two young quarterbacks is the best?

Coaching Little League - Bunting Basics
Teaching little league baseball players to bunt is one of the first lessons that they should learn. Bunting is more effective in little league than perhaps any other level of baseball. This is because the defensive team is forced to field the ball and make the play cleanly. When you are facing a pitcher that is overpowering your little leaguers, the bunt can be a way to get them on base and build their confidence. Teaching bunting basics is also a rather easy thing to do.
