It took the Colorado Rockies franchise 18 years to experience one of the most exciting moments in professional baseball — 9 innings of no-hit baseball. With a fastball that topped out in the high 90’s the entire game, Ubaldo Jimenez …
One of the many fun story lines from Saturday was the 20 inning game the Mets and Cardinals played in St. Louis. The Mets took it 2-1, satisfying Omar Minaya’s quota for desired wins in the three game series with St. Louis. When you have a game …
Jason Mayhem Miller wasn’t fighting on the main card at Strikeforce Nashville Saturday night but he still managed to make himself part of the show. Following the main event fight between Jake Shields and Dan Henderson, Mayhem stepped into the …
