Sabathia gets rocked by the hot Evan Longoria's Rays

C.C. Sabathia has gone 3-0 with a 1.56 ERA in his last 3 games but was only 3-8 against the Rays going in. Evan Longoria has hit 4 homers in his last 5 games though and he wasn't backing down. In the first inning Sabathia gave up 4 runs. They tacked on 1 more in the 3rd. They one 5-1. Longoria only went 1-3 with no RBI's.

Sixth Man and Most Improved Players Announced

JR Smith won the sixth man of the year this year averaging 18 points per game. Personally I don't think they should qualify as a sixth man if  they play more than most starters like he does but that's just me.

Paul George won the most improved player award with 17 points on a great Pacers team. I think this was the right choice, as he only averaged 9 before this year. Larry Sanders took second in the voting.

AOTD


Yesterday's answer was David Ortiz. Adm N. was correct. You can still solve the riddle from yesterday until Friday.

2 stars

1. This player was drafted in the same round (but different years) as Steve Smith and plays the same position.

2. This player was born in a place that is not Europe or North America.

3. This player played Quarterback at the same college Champ Bailey's brother attended.

Brewers Win Streak

baseball.wikia.com 
The Milwaukee Brewers have been doing great as of late, winning 8 straight games. The last time that they won 8 games in a row was back in 2011 in August. With that poor 3-8 start they had to start the season they have now brought there record to 10-8 and are back 1 game in the NL central. They will more than likely sweep the Padres (5-14). Once we get our Aramis Ramirez and Corey Hart back I think we could possibly be able to make a run at the playoffs this year 

Clips win game 2

As the Grizzlies lost their second game hope of getting deep in the playoffs was slipping away. The Clips won 93-91 and Chris Paul made a buzzer beating layup for the win. The Clips are leading the series 2-0.
