The 2008 MLB baseball season will be featuring their midseason All-Star break to showcase some of the best baseball players we have in the world today.

The 2008 MLB All-Star Weekend is always scheduled right in the middle of the baseball season to give back to the sports' fans supporting the sport since day one.

So who got the invite?

The 2008 MLB All-Stars were named last Sunday and it was no surprise that four of the defending champions Boston Red Sox were selected for the American League All-Stars led by team captain Manny Ramirez.

Ramirez will be joined by Red Sox teammates David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis. However, as great as it would be seeing ‘Big Papi’ in action, Ortiz will be forced to miss the All-Star game with an injured wrist.

Red Sox rivals, the New York Yankees, also have their own stars selected to represent the American League. Yankees team captain Derek Jeter leads the Yankee All-Stars.

Joining Jeter in the American League All-Star team is slugger Alex Rodriguez and probably the best closer in baseball, Mariano Rivera.

For the National League All-Star team; Alfonso Soriano, Kosuke Fukudome and Geovany Soto will look to represent the Chicago Cubs proudly. They will be joined by Cubs teammates Kerry Wood, Ryan Dempster, Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Zambrano.

Will Brett Favre return for 2008-09 NFL Football Season?

Will he or will he won't?

With still weeks before the 2008-09 NFL football season begins, people from Wisconsin are probably still shocked after hometown hero, Brett Favre, announced that he’ll finally retire after three years of postponing what was probably the inevitable.

But wait, here come some rumors that claim Brett Favre is itching to return to the field and once again don the No.4 Green Bay Packers colors and dance. Is this really real? Will we have the privilege of watching one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game, make a run for it one more time?

With all the excitement this rumor generated, the ‘’ultimate Packer'’ was quick to put an end to it. ‘’It’s all rumor,'’ the former (as of press time…) Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre said. Too bad eh? As for the excitement the news generated, Favre says, ‘’No reason for it.'’

After that incredible run in the playoffs, you can’t really blame these rumors for clamoring for Favre to make another comeback. Hell, even Favre’s Packer teammates refuse to dismiss that No.4 already has football out of his blood.

‘’I've talked to Brett and I know he has the itch to come back and play. If he will or not, I don’t know. But I know he’s feeling he wants to play,'’ Green Bay Packers defensive back Al Harris said.

You read it, one of the longest, most bitter and most storied rivalries in professional sports will explode once again as the New York Yankees host bitter rivals, Boston Red Sox in a four-game season series at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY.

For over 100 years, the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees have been chief rivals, compounded by their geographic proximity. Since the inception of the wild card team and an added Division Series, the rivals have squared off in the American League championship series three times, with the Yankees winning twice in 1999 and 2003 before 2004 saw Boston celebrating.

In addition to that, both teams have met each other in the last regular season series of a season to decide the title in numerous occasions. Boston won one in 1904 before the Yankees bounced back in 1949. The most recent one was back in 2005 when the Yankees won again to capture the pennant.

Since Boston’s defeat of the New York Yankees in the seven-game American League championship series back in 2004, the rivalry has become more intense than ever before.
