Torre Reacts To Steroid Probe

Of course he does.  You see, and it’s no secret, two of Torre’s biggest stars on the Yankees, Gary Sheffield and Jason Giambi are, like Barry Bonds, right in the crosshairs of about 10 million allegations surrounding steroid use.  The last thing Torre wants is Sheff and Giambi not performing.
While Torre did admit, thank God, […]

Oops…Tavarez Suspended 10 Games

I told ya I’d keep up on this.  A few days ago I reported about the wild fight between Julian Tavarez and Joey Gathright in what should have been a peaceful Spring Training game.  Well the results are in and they aren’t lookin’ so hot for Tavarez or the Red Sox.
For his part in the […]

Head of Steroid Investigation Draws Fire

Here’s a shocker…the chief of the new steroids probe into Major League Baseball is *gasp* taking criticism! Commissioner Bud Selig, in lieu of allegations, um, obvious abuses, and the latest book out that points all sorts of fingers at Barry Bonds, appointed former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell to do some digging around.
Here’s an […]

Yikes: Prior, Wood Placed On DL

First the Red Sox, then the White Sox…now a whole heck of a lot of people are using every wish on every star that this year might be the Cubs year to do it.
No offense all you Cubs fans, but with the announcement of both Mark Prior AND Kerry Woods as recent additions to the […]

Marquis Grissom Calls It Quits

It’s a Cubs day today it seems. First on the Cubs docket is the announcement of outfielder Marquis Grissom’s retirement. That’s right, after 17 seasons in baseball, Grissom is finally hanging up his cleats.
He called it a “fun ride,” looking back on the 17 seasons he spent in pro-baseball; the decision to bid […]

Red Sox & Rays Brawl…Literally

I believe it was Mr. Belding on Saved By The Bell that used to say, “Hey Hey Hey Hey, What Is Going On Here?!”  How true Mr. Belding, what IS going on here.  Spring Training games are usually peaceful, laid back, heck, even a bit uneventful.  Tell that to my Red Sox and the Devil […]

Bagwell Acknowledges His Career Might Be Over

After 15 years with the Houston Astros, 37-year-old Jeff Bagwell might not be coming back.
Apparently he announced Saturday that he’d be starting this season on the Disabled List, he dropped hints at the possibility of not returning at all.  He said during the press conference, “I may never play again…It’s been 15 years with the […]

Bonds Cleared To Play

Worry not all you Barry Bonds fans (not sure how many there are truly left) because Barry has been cleared to play.  The elbow pain has been classified as nothing more than a “minor inflammation” and shouldn’t hold him back at all.
Phew.  I’m pretty sure the LAST thing Bonds needed right now was an injury; […]

Aww Soriano Comes Around

Well tickle me surprised!  After doing a post not too long ago about Alfonso’s beef with the Nationals, he does a full 180 and not only agrees to move to 2nd base,  he does it on the day he was supposed to have off!
I can only imagine that Frank Robinson and the rest of the […]

Mussina Gives Up 10 Runs on 12 Hits in 4 Innings

Torre says he’s not concerned, I’m not buying it.  When one of your aces gives up 10 runs and 12 hits over only a 9-batter span, it’s cause for some concern and worry.
That performance led to the Yankees getting smashed by the Tigers 15-2.   Mussina was quoted as saying, “You learn from a bad […]
