The 2010 World Series served as the perfect prelude to the real drama in the 2011 regular season. Cliff Lee spurned the two favorites to land him, the Yankees and the Rangers to form an all-time powerhouse rotation out in Philadelphia. They instantly become the favorites for the NL East and in most people's books, for the World Series Title. He's joined in that rotation by Cole Hamels, reigning CY Young Award Winner Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Joe Blanton.

Squashing insults about professional wrestling

New players and teams compete with the season’s best
The 2010-2011 NBA season is one that's rife with more intrigue, storylines, and subplots than a daytime soap opera. It's only fitting after the most hectic and frantic offseason in the sport's history. The big story in the NBA this year is the big three out in South Beach.

No need to shut off the television as the devil team runs the bases
It's that time of year again. October, a month best known for Halloween, falling leaves, and of course, playoff baseball. Now what would the playoffs be without the New York Yankees? I know, I really shouldn't really be surprised anymore. After all, they have a two-hundred million dollar payroll, a team composed of All-Stars, and they have made it to the playoffs fifteen of the last sixteen seasons.
I spell it N-C-A-A. Like many other governing bodies, the NCAA picks and chooses who is subject to their rules and standards, and who is not. They often look away from the problems right under their noses, and instead choose to act only when a situation becomes so bad that it can no longer be ignored.
Women’s volleyball goes up against a larger, stronger team
The Lady Hawks volleyball squad is an undersized squad that when facing a team that matches their numbers, can dominate the play, like they recently did against Bronx Community College. They won another straight sweep, three games to none, and hardly seemed to break a sweat doing it.
A Look Back at the Season’s Star Players and More
This summer was a summer that was marked down on every basketball fan's calendar because of the spectacular class of free agents who became available in the off-season. The Nets, with a new billionaire owner, drafted power Derrick Favors. They also acquired several new free agents, and plan to move to a new arena in Brooklyn this year.
With an overall record of 24-7, the RCC baseball Hawks took first place in the Region XV Mid-Hudson Conference, with their Conference record being an equally impressive 18-1-1.
