The baseball season is almost over and there STILL is a lot to be settled , the American League East Division title is going down to the last three games of the season. The New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles are tied with 92-67 records; it will be an exciting and fierce race to avoid that one game playoff that is awaiting the wild card teams in each league. New York had a ten game lead in July and people cannot wait to gloat over how the Yankees “blew it”, not so fast party people, the season starts all over when the playoffs begin.

Speaking of new beginnings the NBA season is about to tip off and there are big expectations all over the landscape. Can the Miami Heat defend their championship in a full 82 game season? Will Derrick Rose return to his form as the top point guard in the East? Can the Los Angeles Lakers make a run with Dwight Howard patrolling the paint? What kind of impact will the move to Brooklyn have on the NBA? And is Oklahoma City ready to leap that final hurdle and win a championship? These questions and many more will be answered in the next couple of months, but for right now it’s all about a full training camp and making sure everyone is healthy and ready for a very exciting season of basketball.
