Subway Series Stinks
The big Subway Series starts tonight as the Mets take on the Yankees for a three game weekend series that’s sure to be exciting for players and fans alike. Or so the MLB hype department and media would have you think. The bottom line is that the subway series stinks. Why? For one thing it […]
Dontrelle Willis
In his latest insider column on espn.com Jerry Crasnick has a great profile on the dominant force that is Dontrelle Willis.
José Guillén Is Right!
I was talking with a co-worker last week about the steroids issue in baseball. The conversation occured on the heels of Twins reliever Juan Rincon. The co-worker brought up a point about how the rules could be unfair to Latin players because of a language barrier. I said that the language barrier is no excuse. […]
Of Selig and Steroids Policies
I found this story on espn.com. It discusses the MLB steroid policy and quotes commissioner Bud Selig as saying the policy is working. I beg to differ.

Misery Loves Company on Bonds

Ryne Sandberg’s NL East Preview
Baseball Hall of Famer elect Ryne Sandberg’s NL East preview was posted on Yahoo Sports yesterday. Sandberg picked the Mets for second place this year but says they could be the team to end Atlanta’s reign over the division.
