Taiwan Signs with Cubs
Taiwan Easterling, a receiver for Florida State, has made the right decision and signed with the Chicago Cubs. Easterling was drafted in the 27th Round in the 2011 MLB draft as an outfielder.
He was not going to get drafted in the NFL, so this is the right call. This also makes it highly unlikely that he will suit up for the Noles on the foo [...]

Hanson Ready for Mariners
Atlanta Braves' pitcher Tommy Hanson will likely be ready on Tuesday night as the Braves play visit to the Seattle Mariners.
“Tendinitis.” Hearing a doctor say this can strike fear intoany athlete. Tendinitis had a huge impact during Brett Favre’s struggles last season. It also affects a lot of baseball pitchers such as Atlanta Brav [...]
FSU Scores for the Cycle
With the 18th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards selected Chris Singleton out of Florida State. Singleton, who left after his junior year, will provide an immediate defensive boost to the Wizards. Singleton was one of if not the best defensive player in not just the draft, but in the country last year.
With the pick, Florida [...]
Braves Look To Stay Hot Out West
Lowe looks to put his recent struggles behind him as he takes the mound on Friday night in San Diego.
After ending a six-game win streak in Houston, the Braves came home to a 1-4 start to their home stand. That was largely due to the lack of offensive production from Atlanta, who only scored more than 3 runs once in their 4 home losses. The B [...]

Young Marlins in Time of Transition
New Marlins manager Jack McKeon lights up a cigar after while talking to ESPN's Chris Berman after leading the team to the World Series championship in 2003.
Tuesday night’s 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim not only snapped an 11-game-losing-streak and broke a skid in which the Florida Marlins lost 19 of 20 games, but [...]
Braves Look to Jays to Salvage Homest...
Former Braves shortstop Yunel Escobar will have his first opportunity to play at his old stomping grounds as Atlanta hosts Toronto on Monday night.
Since coming back to Turner Field on June 14th, the Braves have struggled mightily, posting a sub-par 2-4 record. To top that off, they have not managed to win back-to-back games since the end of [...]
Floundering Fish Host Angels for Thre...
Edwin Rodriguez is out as Marlins manager, but a familiar face could soon be back in the Florida dugout.

The Remedy: How Atlanta Can Solve Off...
Oakland outfielder Coco Crisp could be the newest Atlanta Brave as the Bravos look to upgrade their outfield.
While the Braves are a contender in the NL East (and I use the term contender lightly, with the way Philly is currently playing), they do have one incredibly glaring weakness: their offense. If the Braves plan on making a push against [...]
Banged Up Braves Trying to Get Health...
Tommy Hanson is the latest Atlanta starter to go on the shelf after suffering an injury in Thursday's 9-8 win over the New York Mets.

Slumping Braves Look for Revival Agai...
Braves third baseman Chipper Jones may be on the shelf for a while, further dabilitating Atlanta's struggling offense.
After a strong six game winning streak was ended in the finale of the Houston series, the Braves lost three in a row and if not for a crazy balk-off by Mets reliever DJ Carrasco, it could have easily been four. Needless [...]
Slumping Fish Visit First Place Phill...
Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez is having the worst year of his career, but the Marlins have missed him going 3-11 while Ramirez was on the DL.
The Florida Marlins are coming off of a ridiculously dismal homestand in which the Fish dropped 10 of 11 games. The Marlins have been absolutely horrid of late. Florida has dropped to 32-33 and are b [...]
