Baseball Owes The Players An Apology for the "Steroid Era"

As a lifelong baseball fan and supporter of the game (I make it to at least 10 games a year), I feel the only people that owe me an apology are the owners for providing crappy, overpriced food at the stadiums and charging $15 for parking (thank you Mr...

Who Are The Real Home Run Kings?

What is the exact definition of this fictitious "savior" of the home run records everybody keeps talking about? I guess it means the media and Bud Selig's wet dream of a power hitter who achieved home run records without the use of banned drugs...

Breaking Down The A-Rod Steroid Situation

I sat in my recliner eating oatmeal and drinking a latte while watching Alex Rodriguez's press conference this morning, and I couldn't help but ask myself, "Why is he doing this? Why does he have to apologize to anybody?"...

The New York Yankees Deserve Manny Ramirez

Anyone who expresses a lack of interest in the 2009 Yankees is a liar. Anyone who can't be bothered with the signings of CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, and A.J. Burnett should run for office...

Barry Bonds Was Cheated by MLB

I don't have a crystal ball. I don't use tarot cards. I don't have psychic abilities of any kind. But dammit, I'm tired of being right. I strongly urge everyone to access my profile and dig up my older articles on Barry Bonds...

The Packers Need Brett Favre

I normally don't write about football, let alone the greatest quarterback of all-time. However, after following what ESPN is calling "the Brett Favre saga", I've decided to weigh in on the subject...

Josh Hamilton: Focus on His Talent, Not His Struggles

If you watched this guy in the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium, you should know how talented he is. If you've been following him this season, you should realize how great he is. If you followed his rookie season last year with the Reds (...

Alex Rodriguez: Good Decision To Pass On Home Run Derby

I'm not even going to write an introduction to this article, I'll just come right out and say it. Do people really give a damn whether A-Rod participates in the Home Run Derby?! Of course, why ...

Barry Bonds: Agent Calling League's Bluff A Wise Move

Well, here we are. Roughly three weeks away from the All-Star break and not a word on Barry Bonds (at least baseball-wise). His trial is set for March 2 of next year, he's in shape, he wants to play, but no one wants him...

Kenny Lofton: Where is He?

Steinbrenner in New York: Hank Mad at Yanks

With a 20-21 record and 3.5 games behind the division leading Rays, it's clear Hank Steinbrenner isn't happy. Why should he be? They have the highest payroll in baseball, and so far the 2008 Yankees have been a disaster...

Barry Bonds in Mo-Town!

Bare Market For Barry Bonds? Believe It.

Well, here we are. It's well over a month into the 2008 season and not a word on Barry Bonds. Something stinks here, so let's dig into the trash and find out what it is. In the case of Bonds, we all know his story...

The Barry Bonds Remedy To The Ailing Bird
