...same way again.But that is part of the fun in following a team over multiple seasons. The future looks bright for Harvard and although the team is losing the leadership of its captains and seniors, rising stars like goalie Kyle Richter—named a Division I New England All-Star on Tuesday—and freshmen forward Michael Biega still bring enough talent to lead the Crimson all the way to the Frozen Four in the near future.So wherever next season begins for Harvard’s players, even for those players who will never skate again, they have...
...Detroit Tigers lineup is now a murderers' row. The club traded for one of the best young hitters in the game, Florida third baseman Miguel Cabrera, who hit .320 last season, with 34 home runs and 119 RBI. The team also acquired Jacque Jones, who batted .332 after the All-Star break with the Chicago Cubs, and Edgar Renteria, long one of the most solid offensive shortstops in baseball (though his defense has declined).

I'm waiting to be criticized for having Branford Marsalis and Harry Connick Jr. as half-time entertainment [at the 2008 All-Star game] in New Orleans because it wasn't hip enough. We go with the flow, and do not have...
...much a regular thing for a long period of time. As a model of inconsistency, he was it. [More recently, ex-New York Yankee third baseman Scott Brosius, MVP of the 1998 World Series, gets a miserable "D+" consistency grade from James. Ex-outfielder Eric Davis, a two-time All-Star and solid player throughout his 17 seasons from 1984-2001, gets just...
