What has happened to all of our once
great sports journalists? Are they all so politically correct
now that they wouldn’t dare question the agenda or practices of a Selena Roberts for fear of being called a "gender monger"? Is Selena Roberts the new Al Sharpton, or the new Ward Churchill? This is...

It’s no surprise that the Chicago Cubs and
St. Louis Cardinals clash across Central America like thick,
swirling twisters dancing on the same collision course, because real life happens across the Midwest, not the glitz and glamour fairytales hailed from the coasts.

The two-time All-Star is driving the ball again
and is a legitimate offensive force whose bat will
play at any position. Martinez has been overshadowed, but his bounce back is one of the better story lines around. It is time for the nation to take notice.

Before he was just a childish, ridiculously talented
hitter. Now he's part of something much larger and
far more terrible. He may have just completely ended his chances at the hall of fame.

What a circus...this steroid saga continues to amaze
me. When will it ever end? As a sox
fan, I'm glad it happened while Manny was not with the Sox, but it's still terribly tragic. How many more used steroids? Did David Ortiz? Who knows...

Seven’s 25 baseball pet peeves, including: 17. Fans
who wear jerseys of players who are no longer
on the team and who were not an all-time great player for that team. I think it’s time to throw out that #43 Raul Mondesi Dodgers jersey. Or donate it to charity.

There is a lot of baseball left to
be played, of course, and it is important to
avoid getting too worked up on performances over a rather small sample size. But it is time to honor the noteworthy individual performers from April.

The ‘real’ fans haven’t been priced out of
the ballpark, like some claim. The home field advantage

This installment, featuring the greatest "Mikes" the game’s
history has to offer, felt more like compiling the
All Steve Team than it did a Joe or a Jim. There are a couple of big names here, but overall all the team, in my opinion, lacks the punch of the Jims and Joes.

Berra is what we all wish we could
be: Successful, self-effacing, hard-working, lucky, and just plain talented.
