The New York Yankees payed tribute to longtime owner George Steinbrenner, as well as public address announcer Bob Sheppard before Friday's game, leading Alex Rodriguez to wonder what his Yankee Stadium ceremony would be like once he's passed. After all he's done to 'finally bring the Yankees a championship', the slugger is almost certain it will be 'so much better' than anything they did for George Steinbrenner.

Cleveland has long been a tortured sports city. The Drive, The Fumble, a lengthy streak of futility and bad luck for the Indians, and of course the beloved Browns leaving for Baltimore have agonized the city's sports fans. LeBron James departing for Miami may have been the final straw, but things picked up for the 'Mistake on the Lake' last night, when Cleveland won an ESPY Award as the Most Depressed Sports City in the country.

Thanks to the recently completed World Cup, Major League Soccer is reaping some huge benefits. Reports from the league office indicate sixteen people are now regularly following MLS.

Baseball fans sat through a less than stellar 2010 Home Run Derby, where some of the sport's supposed top sluggers failed to even come near two 'hit it here' signs hanging in the outfield stands. Had one of the derby participants connected with a 'hit it here' sign, $1 million would have been donated to Stand Up For Cancer.

LeBron James has arrived in Miami, and the results are much worse than anyone could have anticipated. The weight of his ego, the likes of which have not been seen in some time, is already causing the entire city of Miami to plummet into the Atlantic Ocean.

Left out of the LeBron James sweepstakes, the New Jersey Nets will move onward with their ambitious 'Blueprint for Greatness' campaign. Some thought the Nets would be in the running for James due to his relationship with minority owner Jay-Z, but that was not the case.

Major League Baseball's All-Star break is less than a week away, but for some players and teams it cannot come soon enough. Wanting to get a jump on their vacation plans, the Cleveland Indians have asked Major League Baseball if it would be OK for them to forgo their final series before the break, and get out of town a few days early.

Only hours before quite possibly the most eventful free agent period in NBA history where everyone seems up for grabs, it was discovered that one player is not even a free agent. The Knicks notified the league they had failed to remember guard Sergio Rodriguez was already under contract with the team.

After years of watching him look the other way during each of the pitcher's outbursts, family members of Tommy O'Neile, 36, have finally convinced him to seek treatment for being an unwavering supporter of Carlos Zambrano. They knew things had reached the breaking point when O'Neile still stood behind the Cubs pitcher after he got into a shouting match with first baseman Derrek Lee.

Inspired by a win over the Marlins followed by a three game sweep of interleague rival Washington, the Baltimore Orioles are looking to climb into fourth place in the American League East by extending their current winning streak another fifty games.
