Steroids in Baseball: The Great Hypocrisy

With McGwire’s recent steroid admission this blog experienced a dramatic increase in traffic. SO I thought it’d be a good time to republish a piece that summarizes my thoughts on steroids in baseball. Sammy Sosa recently said “I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Don’t I have the numbers [...]

The Pub’s 2009 MLB Awards

With all the Playoff Spots secured it’s time for our 2009 Awards (Note that we don’t do AL because they don’t play real baseball). MVP: Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals: .328, 47HR, 134HR, 122R There really shouldn’t be any debate about this. The guy is so good that he’s considered to be “slumping” when he [...]

Hank Aaron Wants Asterisks

Hank Aaron reportedly says PED users should be allowed in the Hall of Fame. However there should be an asterisk on their plaque. All I’ve got to say is: Shut Up Hank! Under your system that would mean that your HOF plaque would also get an asterisk by it. I know Hammerin Hank is getting [...]

All Star Game: Stan Musial Deserved More

The AL won once again. I really don’t care about that. However I, like many other Cardinal fans, am very upset that Stan Musial did not get honored more. We all expected it to be like what Ted Williams got in Boston a few years back. I assume that MLB called the shots and not [...]

NL Home Run Derby Participants announced

The 4 slugging  first basemen will represent the NL in the home run derby. Albert Pujols, Adrian Gonzalez, Prince Fielder and Ryan Howard! Wow! The derby would be great with just these 4 players. It’ll be interesting to see who is chosen to the rep the AL. Hopefully their best sluggers will choose to participate [...]

Keith Law is a Douche

Keith Law is a perfect example of what is a wrong with ESPN. He’s a typical east coast homer with ridiculous opinions. I mean seriously why does ESPN pay this joker to be an idiot? In his latest ramblings Mr. Law stated that Ryan Franklin isn’t very good and doesn’t deserve to be an All-Star. [...]

2009 NL All Star Voting

For once the fans actually seem to be doing a half way decent job voting for the starters of the All-Star Game. First Base Albert Pujols- Pujols has a commanding lead in the voting. What can you say? He’s the best player in the game and should be starting. Sorry Adrian Gonzalez and Ryan Howard [...]

Steroids in Baseball: The Great Hypocrisy

Sammy Sosa recently said “I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Don’t I have the numbers to be inducted?”  However it looks as if Slammin Sammy will be the latest casualty of the steroid era not to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Sammy [...]

PEDs: What MLB should do

I hate talking about Performance Enhancers in baseball. It seems like every time I think I can just enjoy baseball another big name player is linked to steroids. So I’m going to reflect on what I’d do to solve this problem if I was in Bud Selig’s shoes.
