Danica Patrick makes history

Danica Patrick was the first female poll sitter and the first female to lead a lap in NASCAR history. She ended up in 8th place. Jimmie Johnson won the race.

Curtis Grandy out

Curtis Granderson of the New York Yankees recently broke his fore arm after getting hit by a pitch. He is most likely going to miss a good ten weeks before he can return. This will be a problem for the Yankees as they have a old Derek Jeter set to return in March and A-Rod who has been slumping and has not been playing his best game lately. I think that because of this the Yankees will start of slow and when they get all of their key players back they will return to the elite team that we all know.

Who is the NBA's best team? Are the Heat too Hot to Handle?

     The Miami Heat are currently on a 9 game winning streak and they play they Philadelphia 76ers on the 23rd and the Cavs on the 24th. James as you know has been phenomenal as of late. He is averaging 27.2 points, 7 assists, and 8.2 boards per game and an incredible 31.63 PER (player efficiency rating[an average PER is 15 and the highest of all time during one season 31.84 by Wilt Chamberlain]). But are they the best team in the L?

Suns trade Telfair

Involved in the Thomas Robinson trade the Suns are trading away. Now they have traded G Sebastian Telfair. Telfair was traded to the Toronto Raptors for the one and only Hamed Haddadi and a second round draft pick. The Suns have been very aggressive so far in the last hours until the trading deadline.

Thomas Robinson traded

The Sacramento Kings have traded their #5 pick to the Houston Rockets. Thomas Robinson was traded with Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt to the Rockets in exchange for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich,  Toney Douglas, and some cash ($1million). The Suns got into the trade to by trading their 2nd round draft pick for Marcus Morris from the Rockets. Now Marcus will be joined with his twin brother Markeiff on the court. This trade could get the Rockets to be a very good playoff contender over the next few years. With a developing Robinson he could turn out to be one of the leagues top big men.

Boston Red Sox

Boston Redsox
Last year was a blowout for the Boston Redsox as they went 69-93 and finished last in their division. This year wont be much better as they haven't acquired the kind of players they need to be one of the best again. They also have an about 750 games where their stadium was packed, I expect that to stop very quickly.
