Steroid League Baseball
By eaglezgrl11
With the recent uproar over A-Rod's steroid use, I figured now was as good a time as any to introduce my idea for Major League Baseball. It doesn't seem fair for steroid users to be in the same league as those few who actually put in hard work, does it? Or be in the same Hall of Fame? Therefore, I introduce to you, "Steroid Leage Baseball!" Steroid League Baseball, or SLB for short, is a league, in which steroid users can compete against each other. They have the same rules and statistics as MLB and can even be inducted into their very own Hall of Fame- the SLB Hall of Fame! Read more about the SLB.

Steroids and Baseball
By syracuse1811
Man I stayed from school sick on tuesday and all I heard was A-Rod took steroids and he apologizes and Bud Selig wants to punish him. Well here's my take on it.
Steroids are apart of sports. There's no telling when they began, who took them, and who hasn't took them. There's no way to know that A-Rod only took steroids from 01-03. There's no way to know if Derek Jeter has taken them. ... Read full post
A-Rod Comes Clean
By yanksknicksfan
Yes, what Alex Rodriguez did was stupid. Yes, it compromised the integrity of the game. Yes, it may have torn down the final pillar of honesty and excellence that the "Steroid Era" was so desperately leaning on. Yes, we'll never be sure of anyone again and yes, all his records are tarnished. But I'll tell you something; it is so refreshing to hear someone handle criticism head on, like a man. Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, Palmeiro and etc. have all dragged us along like rag dolls while they play cat and mouse with the law. What they did (assuming they're all guilty) was wrong, but what they're doing now is despicable. They placed their fame, fortune, reputation and integrity ahead of what was good for baseball. ...

A-Rods Juicer Boosters
By Flea Raymer
i think a-rod is a great baseball player but why didnt he just admit to it when he was interviewed by Katie Couric. here is another question who has he been getting them from. did he get them from Bond,Clemens, or his personal trainer or whatever.
Weigh in! What do you think?
A Very Dark Day
By chiunit12
Everyone on the planet knows that Barry Bonds used steroids, and everyone knows Roger Clemens used steroids. Two of the greatest players in major league baseball history. I personally thought they were some of the few exceptions. That a lot of the greatest players in the league got the stats the right way and people like clemens and bonds were just two big names among the thousands of nobody players that used steroids. ...Read full post from chiunit12
Roid Raged
By rockthatlobster23
Yes. I love sports. I love the strong muscular men who play them. Duh.
Yes. I hate cheaters. Every woman in the world hates them I'm pretty sure.
So, with all sorts of MLB players like A-Rod, Barry Bonds, and Roger Clemens now being thrust into the public eye, I'm beginning to lose the respect I once had for America's great past-time.Men in the MLB are getting paid millions of dollars to do something that my high school friends are only going to be able to dream about because no matter how much weight training, running, and devotion they give to playing baseball, football, etc, they're always going to be inadequate in the eyes of pro scouts. ...

Pittsburgh Pirates 2009 Predictions

Pittsburgh Pirates 2009 Prediction
The date is February 11th 2009. And I am predicting the 2009 season for each M.L.B team. Today I will be blogging about the Buccos. The Pirates have been a very disappointing team for quite some time now. They have really committed to getting younger and better balanced. But how will they fare in 2009? Well let's take a look; they have a mediocre pitching staff including Paul Maholm, Ian Snell, Zach Duke, Tom Gorzelanny, and Ross Ohlendorf. I don't see much potential in this staff at all.
Find out where NfGould thinks the Pirates will finish this season!
Milwaukee Brewers: 2009 Preview
By brewdude15
Fifty-two days, 20 hours, 15 minutes. That's how long Brewers fans will need to wait to see their team play meaningful games, again.
It hasn't seemed too long of an absence, but any kind of absence from baseball is a sad thing. Check out more on the Brewers!

2009 Mets Bizarro Lineups
By Sportsfan77777
This was made in response to various reports (http://sny.stats.com/mlb/story.asp?i=20090215005544350000101&ref=hea&tm=&src) that Jose Reyes could end up batting in the 3rd hole in the New York Mets' lineup
I put very little effort into this, nor did I proofread it
Also note that the Mets will platoon Tatis and Castro into the lineup

those yankees
By moneymaking Aaron
last year the yankees had really no one. well they did hace a-rod and derek jeter, but they really didnt do that much. Now they have aj burnett and cc sabathia. i think the yankees might have a chance at the world series in 09. this week is a sad week for all the yankee fans and players because of the news about a-rod taking steriods. if i was the MLB commisioiner i would of suspended a-rod for about half way threw the season. its not right to take drugs. What do you think about the Yankees this season?
