The Phoenix Coyotes continued their strong offseason Monday afternoon by re-signing Wojtek Wolski to a two-year deal. As always with the Yotes, terms of the deal were not available, but says nhlscap.com, it’s worth $3.8 million a year. Last season was a breakout year for Wolski as he registered new career-highs…
Oh, those lovable losers known as the Arizona Diamondbacks. They are always finding creative, new ways to lose baseball games. Monday night was no exception, as the team wasted an outstanding pitching (and hitting) performance from Dan Haren and a late offensive power surge to fall 6-5 to the St. Louis…
A mere three days after pitching a no-hitter, Edwin Jackson already is reaping the rewards. Jackson, who threw his gem against Tampa Bay on Friday, was named National League Player of the Week for his work. Carlos Quentin of the Chicago White Sox won the award for the American League…
In the end, it wasn’t that impressive. The United States had a lead for a mere three minutes in the World Cup. Thanks to a porous defense and apathetic offense (including that of Phoenix native Robbie Findley), the U.S. had a solid but unspectacular run on the soccer world’s biggest…
It was an eventful weekend for the D-Backs as they took two of three (yes, they actually won a road series) from the stumbling Tampa Bay Rays. The obvious highlight was the no-hitter thrown by Arizona’s Edwin Jackson on Friday, the second time an opposing team has been held hitless…
Without a first-round pick in last night’s 2010 NBA Draft, many wondered what direction the Suns would go. With forward Amar’e Stoudemire probably on his way out of town, the Suns made their choices clear by bulking up with two big men. Gani Lawal out of Georgia Tech was selected…
Luis Gonzalez is the Diamondbacks leader in numerous offensive categories: games played, hits, home runs, and runs batted in. Now, Gonzo will be the first player in D-Backs history to have his number retired, as his Number 20 will be retired in a pre-game ceremony August 7 against San Diego…
To the surprise of no one, Phoenix Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett won the Jack Adams Award last night in Las Vegas. The trophy, given to the NHL’s best coach every season, was awarded to Tippett in a nearly unanimous fashion as he received 57 of 59 first-place votes. It…
Somehow, someway the United States got the job done. With Phoenix’s own Robbie Findley suspended for piling up yellow cards, the US turned to other players to try to punch in a few goals. And though they had numerous chances (and also had another goal taken away bad a terrible…
In a flash, the dream is over. A mere 36 hours after the first pitch was thrown, the Sun Devils are done after getting embarrassed 11-4 by South Carolina. Two games and out. Elimination from the 2010 College World Series. Poof. Good luck next season…
Do you have your passport and Coyotes jersey ready? The Phoenix Coyotes released their 2010-11 regular season schedule Tuesday, and it begins with an unlikely location for the first two games. The Yotes will play the Boston Bruins in Prague, Czech Republic, October 9 and 10. That certainly is a…
The Phoenix Coyotes announced yesterday the re-signing of left winger Taylor Pyatt to a two-year deal. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. In his first year with the Yotes, Pyatt appeared in 74 games while adding some scoring punch with 12 goals and 11 assists…
Behind an early offensive surge and the solid, steady arm of Rodrigo Lopez, the Arizona Diamondbacks earned a convincing 10-4 win Monday night at Chase Field against the New York Yankees. With numerous Yankee fans in attendance in the sellout crowd, the Snakes were the ones who looked like a…
The Arizona State baseball team hasn’t lost two games in a row all season. Now wouldn’t be a good time to start. After falling to Clemson 6-3 in their opening game of the College World Series on Monday morning, the Sun Devils are now one loss away from elimination. After…
As Graeme McDowell played through the final holes of the US Open, his biggest challenger wasn’t Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods or Ernie Els. It was some guy named Gregory Havret. Wait, who? Congrats to McDowell on his win, but you can’t help but think that some of the top names in…
The Arizona State baseball team is on a mission for title number six as they play in their opening College World Series game on Sunday. The program’s last NCAA title was in 1981 and has won five overall (1965, 1967, 1969, 1977, 1981). In Tempe, however, it feels a lot…
Another game, another bland performance in the World Cup by Phoenix’s own Robbie Findley. After an unimpressive opening match against England, Findley didn’t fare much better this morning against Slovenia as the teams played to a 2-2 draw. While we give credit to Findley for making the team and earning…
For awhile, Thursday’s game looked like it was up in the air. As the D-Backs and Red Sox traded runs through five innings and battered around each other’s starting pitchers, it looked as if Arizona might be able to finally pull out a road win. Nope, not happening. The Snakes’ 8-5…
Now that Steve Kerr is out of the picture in the Suns organization, it seems even more likely that Amar’e Stoudemire won’t be around next season either. According to this report, there is now no chance that Stoudemire will commit to a long-term deal with Phoenix. For Suns fans who are…
We posted yesterday that it looked like the Utah Utes would be joining the Pac-10 as the 12th team in the very near future. A day later, it’s official. Utah accepted the Pac-10’s offer at a press conference after a meeting by school officials…
For the second time in as many nights, the D-Backs offense just wasn’t good enough. After scoring three runs in last night’s 6-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox, the stagnant Snakes offense only mustered a pair of runs Wednesday night. Quite simply, it wasn’t enough to back D-Backs starter Rodrigo…
Finally, it looks as if the musical chairs in college sports have come to an end. As we reported here last week, there was a lot of uncertainty about which conference a number of schools would end up joining. While schools did shuffle around, the latest (and hopefully last) one…
