Being a huge Albert Pujols fan, I am looking forward to this celebration of baseball and to my first MLB All Star experience. Considering [...]

After listening to numerous Chicago Blackhawks [...]
As everyone in the baseball community heard, Roger Clemens was scheduled to go on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike in the Morning show. Boy, we have to give props to Roger Clemens for continuing to stick with his story and continuing to deny steroid usage. Apparently the reason for Clemens breaking his long media silence [...]

The Chicago Cubs have traded Joey Gathright to the Baltimore Orioles for Ryan Freel. Joey Gathright was outrighted to AAA Iowa before the trade. Upon entering the major leagues in 2004, Gathright was considered one of the fastest players; however his production was lackluster. Speed won’t kill you if you can’t get on base. The [...]
