A Common Sense MLB Realignment Plan

In case you missed it Buster Olney reported that MLB and the players association are talking about realignment. In short the plan would send the Astros to the AL evening the leagues out at 15 per league. Interleague play would be a constant part of scheduling. There would be no divisions and the top 5 [...]

MLB Realignment Plan Sucks

How can anyone think the proposed no division format is a good idea? Bud Selig needs to be removed from office if it happens. If MLB wants to shake things up they should keep it simple. I’ll post my own common sense plan tonight.

Anthony Rizzo ETA Wednesday?

Reports are saying Rizzo will finally be promoted to the big leagues this Wednesday. It’s been well publicised that Brad Hawpe has been fielding balls in Right Field and tonight he’s pencilled in as the Padres starting RF. The Padres have likely kept Rizzo stashed away long enough to avoid Super 2 eligibility so it’s [...]

Only Fitting

Just a few hours after my last post Carlos Zambrano goes berserk on Derrek Lee and any one or anything that gets in his way. Big Z has been suspended indefinitely and it has been reported that he went into another temper tantrum as a camera crew filmed him leaving the stadium. I’m sure more [...]

Disgruntled on the Northside

Once upon a time ESPN was a great sports network. However over time they’ve began transforming into a network that specializes in starting and [...]

Baseball’s Most Unbreakable Records

In the NFL, players caught juicing get suspended 4 games and return to action. Football fans continue to embrace the player and seem to forget overnight that he was caught breaking the rules. The NBA doesn’t even test for steroids. I have no doubt that there are past and present players in that league that [...]

Banks Calls out Sosa: Game Show Idea

Ernie Banks has decided it’s time for Sammy Sosa to come clean about his PED use. In case you missed the story here’s a link. I say great idea Mr. Banks. However I think we should start a Game show out of this. If a player that played from  late 60′s-80′s calls out a player [...]

The overlooked History of Illegal Drugs in Baseball

Too often people are sheep when it comes to discussing performance enhancing and or illegal drugs  in our beloved pastime. Way too many fans ignorantly believe our beloved pastime was pure before Jose Canseco and his bash brother twin  Mark McGwire rose to prominence.
