Binyamin Zomberg The Roundup: Before we look back at previous weeks, I’d like to give a moment for all of those Hanley Ramirez owners (redraft leagues) who didn’t move him the second his back started to flare up. Glad we dispensed with that. Brett Lawrie decided to get plunked on the wrist. He’s on the [...]

What We Learned: 2011 French Open
Yeshayahu Ginsburg Well, for around the first 40 minutes Federer looked to provide us with the match that we all thought he could. He was serving great and hitting freely, up a break at 5-2 and even had a set point on Nadal’s serve. But, after holding to get to 5-3, it was like Nadal [...]
2011 Speedy Hire UK Open Darts Day 4 Preview
Well, like many punters out there, Day 3 of the UK Open was unkind to say the least. I’m happy I was off the shocking loss of The Power to the amazing form that The Asset has shown on the big stage, but Barney and Anderson cost me about half of my match winnings so [...]
MLB Draft 2011: Pre-Draft Thoughts
The biggest crapshoot in all of sports is going to take place in less than three hours, and while it seems as though the Pittsburgh Pirates have finally settled on potential ace Gerrit Cole as the first overall selection in the draft, it is still amazing to me that it took this long to come [...]
2011 Speedy Hire UK Open Darts Day 3 Preview
Darts! It’s K.M. back at you with the resurrection, after a 5-2 for a +3.63 day on day 2 of my UK Open picks, moving me to 9-4 and +5.38 so far in the UK Open. I nailed the exact scoreline with van Barneveld winning 9-5 over Brown, and I hit the Stompe and Jenkins [...]
French Open Final Preview and Prediction: Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer
Well, this may not be the final everyone expected when the tournament began, but it’s definitely the final that everyone always wants to see. In some ways, it seems only fitting that Djokovic lose to Federer. “The Streak” started after a loss to Roger Federer and it ended with a loss to Federer, one win [...]
2011 Speedy Hire UK Open Darts Day 2 Preview
How you living, TSHQ nation? K.M. back after delivering the darting goods on day one with a +1.75 unit day. For those of you who might have just cruised by the results and did the math on my day yesterday and said “Hey, you lost half a bet, you didn’t win 1.75 bets!”, we had [...]
Possible Scenario for the Thunder…
The NBA could lock out in similar fashion to the NFL after the Finals are over. If David Stern came up with some crazy idea to redraft every single team, and I had the first overall pick, I don’t know if I could take anyone ahead of Kevin Durant. He’s that good and that young [...]
The Top Ten
Another month has come and gone for the relatively young 2011 MLB season and we have yet to see a team separate themselves from the pack. Throughout this season, the Royals, Indians, Diamondbacks, and Mariners have all played better ball than anticipated. The Nationals and Astros have played exactly how they were projected, and the [...]
