Sammy Sosa tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. If you're surprised, you haven't been paying attention. On the other hand, people were shocked and appalled six weeks ago when Manny Ramirez was outed...
You can hear it, even from the Bay Area. You can hear the trash talk, the snide remarks, the fans' shouts of support for their winning team. You can hear the calls of this year being different, this one meaning more than the ones before...
We keep talking about how to improve your team through additions, guys who are just chilling on the wire waiting for you...
Well, we could try to talk about catchers this week, but I promise you—there aren't more than a couple who are flying under the radar right now, certainly none who can keep it up, and anyone worth keeping is long since gone...
To the 95 percent of people who drafted David Ortiz, and haven't gotten rid of him: This is your wake-up call. Ortiz is batting .220, still hasn't homered, and has an OPS of .650. Juan Pierre has a better OPS...
So you're slumping a little bit on your pitching, running behind in your league because Hamels hasn't been what you remember him being, or Chien-Ming Wang decimated your numbers from Opening Day on...
On Thursday evening, Scott Boras held another press conference to add to the exhaustive coverage of Manny Ramirez's suspension in order to identify exactly for which drug Manny Ramirez had tested positive...
You're not going to believe this, but according to Steve Henson and Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports, who have heard from another source, not only was the drug Manny Ramirez taking not a steroid or HGH, it was not used for weight room performance enhancing...
The latest news on Manny: he's wasted no time getting Scott Boras and a defense together. From Yahoo!'s Big League Stew blog: "Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue...
It began this morning with a text message. "Bye-bye Manny. 50 games." I laughed, thinking my old roommate was playing a joke on me. Manny wasn't hurt; he was perfectly fine. I watched him hit last night, and he ran fine, too...
And so the first month of the 2009 baseball season comes to a close. The Marlins opened the season hotter than Jessica Alba and Megan Fox combined, and have sputtered a bit since while hanging onto a slim division lead...
Tonight's blowout by the Giants told us three things definitively. The first is that Lincecum is definitely back in Cy Young form, after a couple of more-than-questionable starts to lead off his '09 season...
The Los Angeles Dodgers began their first homestand by rolling over the San Francisco Giants. Not much changed when the Colorado Rockies came into town...
Take a good look at that photograph, and the teams involved: Marlins-Nationals. That's been the match-up six of the twelve times the Fish have left their dugout so far in 2009. They've also played three against the Mets and swept the Braves...
I'm not often wrong, despite what my friends, family, boss, and girlfriend all say. But when I am, boy am I ever wrong. Last year, on Opening Day, I latched onto a rookie third baseman who singled his first time at the plate...
Dodger Stadium is my personal baseball haven. There are definitely nicer ballparks in the country, but Dodger Stadium is home...
I hate when the Giants suck. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not exactly a Giants fan. In fact, I've been rooting for the Dodgers since I was 7—almost two decades of bleeding bright blue...
So now, it's official. He even said so himself. The man who was going to save our sacred home run record from the dastardly Barry Bonds is just like him...
As the 2008 season began, the Dodgers' roster was a conglomeration of fading stars and up and coming youngsters. Those closest to be considered 'stars' have spent significant portions of the ...
Putting together an all-time team is hard. Every fan in every sport has tried to sew together a crowd of all-time greats, and we all know how hard it can be to narrow it down...
