ESPN has fallen into the journalistic trap of revenue dictating the story rather than reporting the story well and letting revenue follow.  ESPN has found it more convenient and easier to do the following:
1) Continue to promote Bonds and treat him with a soft touch (by the way – I already respected him but Hank [...]

Just a follow up on the Cup o’Joe.  Here’s some more ESPN hatchet work from the preview for today’s game:
Alex Rodriguez has had a rough time fitting in with the New York Yankees and their fans, but his fast start this season is no doubt making him a little more popular.
Rodriguez looks to lead the [...]

Nice cup of Joe by Mike.  I like his take since I have been a consistent A-Rod apologist.  Baseball is hard because it is so easy to let failure breed more failure.  But occassionally, the converse is true as well: Success breeds success.  It looks like A-Rod is having fun and happy.  I’d be having [...]

Don’t worry I’m not being obscene, this post is thematically consistent. Keep reading. 
A-Rod has had his problems post-season. I have not been a big fan of his generally. This week, you dare not miss one of his AB’s because you are watching greatness. Let’s live in the moment, because A-Rod’s recent moments are nothing short of [...]

So the press wants to make Alex Rodriguez miserable. The guy is having a Ruthian start to the season (at present .357, 6HR, 15 RBI, 10R, .471 OBP in 7 games), but the criticisms persist. Steve Philips is following the ESPN talking points, compliment A-Rod on his April home runs, but bring up the post-season.  [...]

Len has hit on something here. Aside from pitching as the biggest factor which produces success in the game of baseball, the old expression is that a team has to be strong up the middle. Posada is the anchor to that C-SS-2B-CF middle for the Yanks, and, at this point, I would argue more so [...]

Before the game last night I was watching an interview with Posada.  He expressed how bad he felt after losing the series to Detroit last year.  He also commented that he wants the guys to play as a team this year.  Of course, no mention was made to any specific player and the interviewer did [...]
