So much for Bud Selig's idea about taking back the home run crown that Barry Bonds stole from Hank Aaron two years ago. As soon as the Commish started talking about the idea, Aaron, magnanimously, shot down the idea as a pretty silly idea. For the second ...

We like to think we can look at a player and tell if he?s using steroids. Mark McGwire?s biceps? Obviously. Barry Bonds? expanding head? No doubter. But do you feel the need to look into PEDs when you look at
One school district does. Visalia, Calif., schools are instituting random drug ...

Old Bud Selig just can’t keep up with the steroid scandals. Evidently they’ve been coming too thick and fast for him, since he’s only now dealing with the fallout from Barry Bonds’ ascension into the role of home run king now, claiming that he fully intends to investigate stripping Bonds of the ...

With baseball finding itself stuck in the steroids muck again thanks to Barry Bonds' trial and Alex Rodriguez' admission last Monday, the sport once again finds itself trying to find the right public relations move to make it look like it cares. Bud Selig was floating around the idea of ...

I don't know if you know this or not, but since he's commissioner of Major League Baseball, Bud Selig seems to think this gives him special privileges that nobody else in America is privy to. Why, as commissioner of baseball he's not bound by the ex post facto laws of our society, which means ...

I was struck by something last week, and I?m going to try and lay it out for you. Here?s a game we often play around here:
Athlete A: The best ever at what he did. Brought down by forces outside his sport when no one in his sport could stop him. Unlikeable, on many accounts. A braggart, given over to his vices; womanizer, lecher, and abuser. Lawbreaker.
Athlete B: The best ever...

Quite possibly!
We've all been wondering who are the remaining 103 names on the steroid list that A-Rod was found on.
Names are being thrown around left and right, including St. Louis Cardinals first baseman, Albert Pujols and former Mets catcher, Mike Piazza.
Here's a name that I never really thought about, but is being mentioned: Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez.
