Enjoy! <\/p>\n Did we just witness the LeBron era end with a thud in Cleveland? Stay tuned two months of mega rumors.<\/p>\n Until they surface, we\u2019ll let LeBron clean out his locker and focus on other sports news.<\/p>\n MLB news: Royals fire Trey Hillman; Field of Dreams for sale; All-Star game staying in Arizona<\/strong><\/p>\n At least they did it a classy way. The Kansas City Royals fired Trey Hillman yesterday morning after 358 mostly inept games managing the team. But they gave him a parting gift; they let him manage yesterday\u2019s game in hopes he\u2019d get a final win instead of go out on a seven-game losing streak.<\/p>\n Thanks largely to Zack Greinke, Hillman got his win, a 6-4 squeaker over the Cleveland Indians.<\/p>\n Happy trails, Trey.<\/p>\n Diehard baseball fan? Diehard movie fan? Diehard baseball movie fan? We\u2019ll, there\u2019s some big news. The\u00a0Field of Dreams<\/em> baseball diamond, complete with accompanying farmhouse and lineups of tourists, is for sale in Dyersville, Iowa. The asking price: $5.4 million. So, should we just assume Kevin Costner is buying it?<\/p>\n Many Major League Baseball people \u2013 from players to managers and so on \u2013 are calling for commissioner Bud Selig to move the 2011 MLB All-Star Game away from Arizona.<\/p>\n They\u2019re outraged over a new state law that empowers police offers to determine a person\u2019s immigration status. Ozzie Guillen, for example, claims he\u2019ll boycott the game if it stays at Chase Field next year.<\/p>\n So far, though, Selig isn\u2019t budging. He ignored the demands and trumpeted baseball\u2019s track record of hiring minorities. That\u2019s all well and good, Bud, but I think you\u2019re missing the point.<\/p>\n NHL news: 41 arrests in Montreal after Game-7 victory; Malkin on the trading block? <\/strong><\/p>\n I guess the comparison between Habs fans and soccer fans is true; the \u201col\u00e9\u201d chants are a dead giveaway.<\/p>\n On Wednesday night, the city of Montreal went into pandemonium following the Canadiens\u2019 seventh-game triumph over the Pittsburgh Penguins.<\/p>\n The chaos included lots of looting, property damage, public mischief, assault and breaking and entering. In the end, the police battled bottle throwers with tear gas. Stay classy, Montreal.<\/p>\n For now, it\u2019s more of an opinion than a rumor, but the Evgeni Malkin trade talk could become a reality very soon.<\/p>\n The Hockey News <\/em>suggested the Pens should move the enigmatic Geno to (a) free up cap space, (b) find a winger for Sidney Crosby and (c) give Jordan Staal more ice time.<\/p>\n Not a bad idea. The first thought that came to my mind was that the Pens could ship Malkin to Calgary for Jarome Iginla (maybe with a pick coming their way too given Iggy\u2019s age).<\/p>\n If the Pens weren\u2019t as focused on landing a winger for Sid, they could get a massive return for Malkin from the Los Angeles Kings. L.A. has a contending team and oodles of picks and prospects to spare.<\/p>\n Adding Geno make a ton of sense to me.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Friday May 14th, 2010.
