Hank Aaron, The True Home Run King, Is Dead Wrong About Steroids!

Read somewhere online that Hank Aaron wants the 2003 list of steroid abusers made public.  I greatly respect Mr. Aaron.  I have taught my kids that he’s the true home run king, which of course, he is.
Despite all of this Hank Aaron could not be more wrong on this point.  Players only submitted to the [...]

Mike Golic Could Not Be More Wrong About Baseball & Steroids!

I was listening to ESPN’s Mike & Mike this morning and was shocked at the stuff coming out of Mike Golic’s mouth.  Truth be told, I’m a Golic fan.  I’ve generally appreciated his insights as a former player and respected his opinions.  Plus, he seems like a good guy.
This morning, Mike Golic sounded like an [...]

Dan Rooney Could Be This Blog’s Man Of The Year! Plus Nonsense About A Rod & Twitter!

President Obama today named Steelers’ owner Dan Rooney as the US Ambassador to Ireland.  Fitting that it was on St. Patrick’s Day.
Congrats to Dan Rooney who epitomizes what this blog stands for.  Passion for sports and politics.
I’m not sure where he stands on nonsense.  But, we like that too.  So here’s some more of that:
A-Rod [...]

Multi-Millionaire Athlete Kills Patriotism!

Patriotism is dead and Miguel Tejada killed it.
I don’t know who the Dominican Republic has penciled in at starting shortstop for the World Baseball Classic, but he’s better than Miguel Tejada.  Tejada has just left the team because they asked him to move from his customary position at short to first base.
On the roster for [...]

Bud Selig & Joe Torre Are A Great Comedy Team!

Earlier this week, Bud Selig chastised Alex Rodriguez for sullying the great game of baseball.  Today, I wake up to read that Joe Torre told the media that baseball needs to work to rebuild trust.
Don’t make me laugh.  Or do, if that’s your intention Mr. Selig & Mr. Torre.  Just realize that both of you [...]

WTF Is Baseball Going To Do About The Hall Of Fame Now? I’ve Got The Answer! (You’re Welcome!)

Baseball has some problems.  It may not be the biggest of its many challenges, but perhaps baseball’s most intriguing  problem right now is its Hall of Fame situation and I’ve got the answer.
Let’s rewind.  Remember when Mark McGwire captured America’s fascination by hitting home runs by the bushel?  Eventually, he even broke Roger Maris’ all [...]

A-Rod Takes The Innocence Of A 42 Year Old Hetrosexual Male!

Yup, that’s me I’m referring to in the post headline.  I’m 42, male, hetro and have a pathological hatred for all things Yankee.  Yet, today A-Rod crushed my innocence.
How was this possible you ask?  Well, let’s start with Barry Bonds.  For some crazy reason, I bought that Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa smashed Roger Maris’ [...]

Joe Torre Proves He’s A Fraud Too!

According to early newspaper reports on Joe Torre’s upcoming book, the former Yankee skipper says A-Rod’s Yankee teammates referred to him as A-Fraud.  Torre also reveals that A-Rod has a Jeter obsession and takes some shots at GM Brian Cashman and King George along the way.
All of the above may be true and well deserved [...]

WTF! Yankees Sign Teixeira And Unleash A Bucketful of Questions!

Sports Illustrated is reporting on their web site that the Yankees just got bigger and badder.  With money seemingly seemingly flowing like water out of the Bronx this winter, the Yanks just hauled in Mark Teixeira with an eight year, $180 million dollar deal.
Here are some thoughts from a slightly biased Red Sox fan:
This explains [...]

Signing CC! Not An Ace Move?!

Here was the state of the Yankee pitching staff as the free agent market opened up.  Their most consistent pitcher, Chien Ming Wang doesn’t deliver come playoff time and had arm trouble last season.  Their best pitcher last year, Mike Mussina, decide to forgo a shot at 300 wins and just retire.  That should tell [...]
