When It Comes To The Playoffs, Manny Is All Wet!

I just heard on ESPN Radio’s Mike & Mike In The Morning that while the Dodgers were blowing game four against Philly, Manny Ramirez was busy contributing to the effort by taking a warm shower.  Manny had been removed early in the game and as is his custom when he’s pulled from games early, he headed [...]

Is This The Last Great Season For Derek Jeter?

Enjoy it now, Yankee fans.  This will be Derek Jeter’s last great season.
Growing up a non-Yankee fan in the New York area, nothing has grated at me more over the years than the intensity of the man crush that typical Yankee fans have on Derek Jeter.  It reminds me of those old SNL skits about [...]

Jamie Moyer Is Wrong To Feel Tricked!

It’s not often that a division leading baseball team sends its winningest pitcher to the bullpen.  Then again, it’s rare that a staff “ace” has an ERA approaching six.
Jamie Moyer, the “ace” in question is 46 years old, leads the Phils with 10 wins and has one of the worst ERAs among baseball’s starting pitchers.  [...]

Tonight, My DVR Killed The Red Sox!

Yes, I’m a Red Sox fan.  Yes, getting swept in the Bronx this past weekend was pretty hard to take, but my DVR made it even worse tonight.
Earlier this evening, I was watching a show called “Baseball Seasons” on one of the many sports channels my TV package includes.  My seven year old son, who [...]

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 [...]

Mets And Omar Minaya Give Clinic On How Not To Fire Someone! (Just Two Easy Steps!)

Mets’ GM Omar Minaya let his Veep of Player Personnel Tony Bernazard go today and he did it poorly.  It’s not so much how he broke the actual news to Bernazard, who was let go after among other things recently challenging the Mets’ Double-A players to a fight. 
Bernazard even went so far as to take [...]

On The Other, There’s Roy Halladay, An Old Guy Who’s Worth The Investment!

I just posted my absolutely correct opinion that the Phoenix Suns made a huge mistake signing 35 year old Steve Nash to a two year extension that will run out when he’s 38.  38, is 214 in point guard years, especially when you’ve played in the Phoenix speed it up offense.
So, why then do I think Roy [...]

Sandberg Says Sosa Shouldn’t Go To Hall of Fame! But, Why Is Sandberg In The Hall??

Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg said in a recent sports radio interview that Sammy Sosa shouldn’t make the Hall of Fame due to Sosa’s use of performance enhancing drugs.  Sandberg made the point that baseball’s Hall  lists integrity as one of the voting criteria for election to Cooperstown.  Rightly, Sandberg feels that Sosa and others like [...]

What Tom Glavine & The Ayatollah Have In Common!

 
 
 
 
“It’s over, Johnny.”
I love that expression.  I’m sure it’s from a movie.  Which one?  Not a clue and I’m too lazy to use this Internet thing to look it up.  Regardless, “it’s over, Johnny” are words to live by.
Unfortunately, most people don’t.  The hardest thing to know is when to quit while you’re still ahead.  Everyone struggles [...]

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 [...]
