Where I grew up, my next door neighbor won the Powerball Lottery twice. Everyone called it insane luck and just shook their heads. Well, a golfer in Kansas got to experience similar luck this week. At Muscatine Municipal Golf Course, Ted Kemp hit back-to-back holes-in-one. Kemp, who is just your average duffer with a 12 handicap, was told that the odds of making two holes-in-one round is 67

TK’s MLB Power Pack – Week of 4/26/2008
by TK April 26th, 2008 | Baseball, MLB
This week's MLB Power Pack really reflects the power that has been shown in the West and in the National League. The 5 best teams in the MLB, as determined by me, follows:
Week 3 - 4/26/08:
5. Chicago White Sox - I can see them running away with the Central, and that is a deep division.
4. Oakland Athletics - They are a young team but are playing with high energy. You think they are glad Zito is not pitching for them??
3. St. Louis Cardinals - This team just keeps cruising along in the early stages.

Superstitious Baseball
by LJ Dovichi April 24th, 2008 | Baseball, MLB, NCAA, Sports History, Sports RadioLike two peas in a pod, baseball and superstitions just go together. Could any two words be more synonymous than those? Superstitions are as much a part of baseball as following player stats and keeping the score.

Recently in the news, Gino Castignoli, a construction worker an avid Red Sox Fan, decided to jinx the new Yankee Stadium by burying a Boston Red Sox jersey in the
War Pass Nicked and Out of The Kentucky Derby
by TK April 19th, 2008 | Kentucky Derby
My early choice to win the Kentucky Derby, War Pass, is now out of the race. He has a minor fracture in one of his front legs. Although the break is not life-threatening, it does take the Juvenile Champion off the shelf for a few months.
Trainer Nick Zito and owner Robert LaPenta although disappointed are not out of the Derby altogether, as they also have Cool Coal Man, winner of the Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park last year.

TK’s MLB Power Pack – Week of 4/19/08
by TK April 19th, 2008 | Baseball, MLB
This week's MLB Power Pack saw some movement as the season moved from the early portion to things that look like real trends. The 5 best teams in the MLB, as determined by me, follows:
Week 2 - 4/19/08:
5. Chicago White Sox - They are starting to have the look they had a few years ago when they won it all.
4. Boston Red Sox - The good news is that Ortiz is finally batting over .100. Their pitching has been average, and that was their strength last year at this point.
3. St. Louis Cardinals - Larussa has
