What’s with Granderson  –you can’t have a Centerfielder batting .206 in a pennant race, Austin Jackson is batting 99 POINTS HIGHER then that, .305 for a team going nowhere. It was just last year I was in the stands in Scranton admiring Austin’s play. Sure, Jackson has only one HR but he has 7 triples. So [...]

Those are good points with the medical technology especially the one about bionic or prosthetic limbs.  I always come back to this however.  But using medical technology under the care of a medical doctor (Tommy John surgery or the example of robotic limbs) is for the most part safe and accepted by society and our [...]

Right now….the real home run champ is Barry Bonds. Not Hank Aaron.
Look, I don’t like the fact that Bonds took steroids. But it isn’t his fault….Major League Baseball is to blame. The leadership in the Major League Baseball commissioner’s office turned a blind eye to performance enhancing drugs in favor of a surge in the popularity of the [...]

Agreed.  I think everyone knows how I feel about this.  I still like Alex.  I’m glad he owned up to his mistake.  But let’s be clear about something: Everyone needs to stop referring to the Hall of Fame as an entitlement.  It’s not.  Just because you play great doesn’t mean you should be in the [...]

Late in his career his annual HR production actually picked up – he had a great off season training regimen I never knew about, and Hank studied pitchers’ release points by looking at them from the bench though one of the [...]

Lost in the hoopla of A-Rod’s historic asterisk yesterday was the fact that the Captain went 4 for 4 yesterday, with 3 runs scored, and 2 doubles.  This was a good sign, and he is hitting over .300 since the All-Star break.
ESPN had some nice Jeter tidbits concerning yesterday’s game:

With his 4-4 day, he passed Joe Dimaggio on [...]

Now that we know how A-Rod reacts to the pressure of these “historic” home runs and how long it takes him to pass these milesones imagine if he is tied with Bonds some day…… it will take him 2 years to hit that final HR and he’ll have to have a shrink sit next to [...]

Congrats to A-Rod and Thank God.  Now we can get back to baseball.  Hughes looks good so far.
