Allsports article on the wild finish to the regular season for the wild card birth and his opinions on what to expect in the first round of the MLB Playoffs.

Hello everyone, allsports here with some baseball sports news and sports on the web. So was that one wild finish to the Major League Baseball season or what. Not only did the Boston Red Sox have a melt down but the Atlanta Braves did them one better, well one and a half better or worse to be exact. It was likely the first time in MLB history that two teams, one in each league, had such a collapse in the month of September. Boston held a nine game lead on the Tampa Bay Rays at the end of August but a 7-20 record in the home stretch allowed Tampa to overtake them on the last day of the season. In the National League, Atlanta fared even worse. They saw a 10.5 game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals evaporate and found themselves on the outside looking in once the regular season dust had settled. Crazy stuff when not one but two teams give up that many game leads to come out on the short end of the playoff picture. The races were great for the game of baseball  and should add some weight as far as adding another wild card team into the playoff mix. Mind you there would not have been near as much drama had there been two wild card spots open in each league. So maybe they just leave things the way they are. If its not broke, don’t fix it kind of thing.

The 2011 Mann Cup Champions, the Brampton Excelsiors

Allsports article on the Brampton Excelsiors defeating the Langley Thunder four games to one. Laying claim to the 2011 Mann Cup. They are the 2011 Canadian Senior Lacrosse Champions.

The games were fairly close but in the end Brampton had more experience to defeat a Young Langley Thunder squad.

Allsports here with his final Mann Cup sports news and sports on the web article. So the Mann Cup is over for another year and the host city of Langley did a great job of looking after everyone. They did a top notch job of the event and were great to the visitors from Brampton. If you are counting at home it was the 102nd Mann Cup.

The citizens of Langley did a great job hosting the Mann Cup but it was too bad the home side did not fare a little better on the floor. After two heart breaking one goal losses the Thunder knew their backs were against the wall. They had run out of wiggle room. Although Brampton was a young team they were not nearly as young as the Thunder. They did have previous Mann Cup experience in the locker room and the Brampton squad seemed to ride that through. The likes of Dan Dawson and Anthony Cosmo, guys who knew what it took to win were towers of strength for the Excelsiors.

Allsports article on the Mann Cup Final between the Brampton Excelsiors and the Langley Thunder. Brampton has a strangle hold on the series with a close 5-4 win.

Allsports here for more Mann Cup sports news and sports on the web. So game 4 went off last night in Langley and the home side was in desperate need of a win to tie the series up. Another loss and Brampton would go up 3-1 in the series and it would likely be to deep a hole for the Thunder to climb out of.

The game was scoreless for 31 minutes and 4 seconds (likely some kind of Mann Cup record for goal drought) with neither team giving an inch on defense. until Athan Iannucci opened the scoring. Mike Grimes made it 2-0 for the home side three minutes later but Dan Dawson got one back for Brampton. Iannucci got his second of the frame and Jarrett Davis answered with an unassisted  tally in the last minute of the second period to bring Brampton within one.

So the Mann Cup has gotten underway out in Langley British Columbia. The series started last Wednesday and as of today there are three games in the books.

Tragedy strikes Hockey again

Allsports article on the deaths in the hockey community.With the latest catastrophe being the plane crash that wiped out the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team of the KHL

Amplify’d from allsportsontheweb.com

Allsports here for some sad sports news and sports on the web. The summer has not been too kind to the NHL and the hockey community in general. Just when the NHL was getting over the tragic deaths of Derek Boogaard and Rick Rypien. Wade Belak kills himself, apparently by hanging. This was reported but not confirmed. To send the hockey community reeling once again.

Russian jet carrying KHL team Lokomotiv

To top off the miserable news Wednesday morning was even worse. TSN was the first to report on the horrific scene from Russia. It was reported that a private jet carrying the KHL team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl appeared to be struggling to gain altitude after leaving the Yaroslavl airport. It then clipped a signal tower and disintegrated into pieces, with most of the the remains settling on the shores of the Volga River. The plane was a Yak-42 with 45 people on board and only two survived. Officials said Russian player Alexander Galimov survived the crash along with a crew member. It was said that Galimov had burns to 80% of his body, not very good odds for survival.

This was quite interesting. A new way to buy and sell real estate. It all started because so many people are trying to see their own properties now to avoid paying agents fees. It is worth a good look.
