The major sports are, for the most part, taking this Saturday off. The NFL is in minicamp mode, waiting for the long summer to end before they can start next season. There are no NBA games since the Lakers disposed of the Spurs. For MLB, Saturday is just another day in their [...]
This is more like it. Americans are dropping out left and right. Only two Americans remain on both the men’s and women’s sides. For the women, Venus and Serena Williams remain. No surprise there. For the men, it’s Robby Ginepri and Wayne Odesnik. That’s a shock. I don’t [...]
I’m an old-fashioned guy. I was raised in a stable, two-parent home and learned by watching others around me that being raised in a two-parent home is the ideal situation for any child. A home with a single parent, usually a mother, is problematic, especially when a young boy grows up without a father figure steering his course [...]
If you were one of those who thought you would skip Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals because Detroit so dominated the first two games, then you made a mistake. I almost skipped the game myself, but decided to catch the third period. It was by far the most electric game of the series, [...]
What’s going on here? Too many Americans are winning at the French Open!
Men’s Singles-2nd round:
Wayne Odesnik wins in four sets over Hyung Taik-Lee.
Men’s Singles-1st round
John Isner and Vincent Spadea both lose in five sets. Mardy Fish and Bobby Reynolds both win in four sets. Scoville Jenkins loses in four sets. Robby Ginepri beats fellow American [...]
The French Open is way behind schedule, due to –what else?– rain. Some matches have come to a conclusion, however, and there have been some pleasant surprises for the U.S. on the men’s side. I’m shocked. This gimmick of following the U.S. at the French Open isn’t as much fun if our boys and girls [...]
What a race.
First, props to ABC for the Side-by-Side feature. It allowed us to see everything, even during commercial breaks. This was important when Danica Patrick stormed down the pits to get a piece of Ryan Briscoe. Being able to see that while waiting for the announcers’ reactions was intense. That was my favorite part [...]
The first day is in the books. Here are the results for the Americans:
James Blake was the only American male to compete. He earned a victory. The women were not so lucky. Julie Ditty, Lilia Osterloh and Ashley Harkleroad lost. Serena Williams earned a victory.
That means all ten American men are still in the tournament, [...]
The French Open begins Sunday. This is the major tournament in which the United States usually does its worst. This year should be no different with Lindsay Davenport and Andy Roddick out of the tournament.
Middle Class Sports plans to have some fun with the second tennis major of the year. I will give you the [...]
This was the gimme game for the Red Wings. It was apparent that the Penguins needed this game to get their feet wet. Hopefully, that will lead to a more competitive Game 2.
Detroit was physical. They knocked Crosby and Malkin around, making them ineffective. They took away the skates of the Penguins as well. When [...]
