Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's finally here. Welcome to the official launch of
Coast2Coast Sports, the sports blog that brings you news, notes, and opinions on the world of sports from all around the country.
Now, I know what you're thinking - who the hell are we, why should you read this blog, and what can I expect. Well, we are a bunch of people who love sports and want to write about it. You should read this blog because it will be informative and entertaining, and not always in that order. And you should expect this stuff to be good - very, very good.
And even though the hype surrounding this particular launch may not be as exciting as
Roger Clemens' launch, and though our history may not be as stellar as the Rocket's, we can assure you this - we will last more than six innings every single time we go out there. Guaranteed.

- Last night,
one of the great promotions in minor league history happened -
Billy Donovan night for the Fort Myers Miracle, a class-A affiliate of the
Minnesota Twins. I can't even say anything witty here because you just have to read the article, which says it all. But it does beg the question, what will they think of next -
Bill Belichick day? Actually, I wouldn't even give him a minute. I'd just hand out copies of the cocktail napkin he resigned on. At least Donovan had the decency to create a drawn out, three-day media firestorm before bolting for
Florida.
- Will this team ever do anything right?
Daniel Snyder continues to assemble the worst team money can buy, and now the
Washington Redskins may be facing even more internal turmoil. Apparently, rookie safety
LaRon Landry injured himself playing paintball, and now rumors are surfacing that a teammate may have
intentionally shot him in the groin. Now I know rookie hazing is commonplace in the
NFL, but couldn't he have been hazed in a more mature way, like strapping him to the roof of one of
Joe Gibbs' vastly-more-successful race cars for a few laps around Talladega?
