Imagine this. You’re coming off a soccer season where you broke a single-season record in saves (94). You have a Goals Against Average of 1.04 after playing 19 games. Of those 19 games played, your team won 12 of them. Furthermore, you turned 21, and once the season and your classes conclude, you get the opportunity to represent your country in the 2019 Soccer World Cup. Not only do you...

World Series

Game 7s are a baseball fan's heaven. This event was the pinnacle of pressure in the sport of baseball as the Cleveland Indians hosted the Chicago Cubs in a winner-takes-all game. These two teams were both starving for a World Series title, as the Cubs haven't won since 1908 and the Indians haven't won since 1940. These are the two longest World Series droughts in the MLB. This game wasn't just...

Why Do the Braves Suck?

The Braves suck: this statement in itself is an understatement. The 4-15 Braves can’t pitch, can’t hit, can’t play defense, and can’t run the bases. The Braves haven’t won a game in a week, and have averaged an abysmal 1.8 runs a game in this six-game skid that they suffered through. Sometimes teams are just bad and there is no rhyme or reason for it, but Braves Country should be...

Today is the final Opening Day at Turner Field. It's a bittersweet moment for the venue that houses the Atlanta Braves, as they will be moving north of the city and settling in Marietta's SunTrust Park. April 4th, 2016 will be a historic day, not only because this is their last season at Turner Field, but also because of the legacy of success that will be left there. The Braves won 11 pennants in...

March Madness

Ballin’ like the March Madness? It’s comical that a rapper named Future produced a song that has one of the most unpredictable futures in the world. Just like every year, this is the time where confusion falls upon the sports world and, in this particular case, it is the sport of basketball. Basketball has bred a culture that has fallen in love with the Cinderella story. The sight of...

Rays vs. Cuba

March 22, 2016 will be a momentous day, not only in politics but also in the sports world. Cuban-American relations have grown, and for the first time since 1923 a sitting President is going to be in the country of Cuba. Cuba and the United States have shared a strained and often nonexistent relationship with each other since the embargo of 1960. President Barack Obama is making several leaps and...
