Some stuff I wrote around the Web:
When Exactly did Manny Start Cheating?
Lastly, if anyone wants to try their hand at blogging, let me know, we can try you out on this site. You don’t have to write the epic 1,500-2,000 word posts that this site is known for, they can be shorter. I’ve just found that I don’t have the time to keep up with everything due to all my obligations. We can work out a revenue share or something if it works out and it’s something you decide you want to stick with. Let me know via the contact form if you are interested.

We should be numb to the steroid stuff now. Every time these stories come out we run through the same process: shock, disbelief, anger, complete and utter numbness. The same stories roll out about how everyone is implicated and no one is immune to this stuff, its black eye for baseball, blah blah blah. I typically agree with this, and in a way I have never been surprised by any of the names that come out. Maybe at the time I’m a little shocked, but after you really sit down and think about it, it usually all adds up. Not this time.
Everyone that reads this site knows that I’m a huge Cardinals fan. But at the risk of sounding completely sacrilegious, outside of Albert Pujols, Manny Ramirez is my favorite player. The guy is one of the greatest right-handed hitters of all-time, he plays the game with a carefree, fun attitude, and before yesterday I would lament constantly that the game needs more players like him. Say what you want about his greed, his poor defensive skills, or one of the other many things that people nitpick him about- he’s great for the game.
As the news broke I held out hope that something went totally awry and the commissioner’s office would make an announcement that it was some ingredient in a prescription drug that triggered the positive. Maybe it was some supplement that was tainted. I traded text messages back and forth with my brother about this all afternoon. [click to continue...]

I know, I know, it’s been a while. I apologize for that. Things have been a little more time consuming than I imagined with the new job, finals coming up, and just other family/work obligations. I appreciate your patience and concern in my absence from this site over the last week or so.
Anyways, a lot has happened in the first month of the baseball season so I’ll tackle a couple of topics to get to get back up to speed here.
Umm, David, the season started…
A lot of people were worried about how David Ortiz would produce after Manny split last season, and I was among them, but I never thought it would get this bad. He actually played pretty well in the second half last season. He wasn’t the All-Star slugger that we have seen in the past, but he wasn’t a liability. Now he is.
