This One Time...Luis Gonzalez Hit 57 Home Runs in a Season
Move On, Nothing to See Here...Just My Vein-Popping ArmsI'm not all "into" the steroid debate. Surely, there are some purists out there who might chastise me for turning the other cheek for the most part and continuing to spend money over the years to watch a game filled with players who were almost undoubtedly "cheating" at some level of the definition.My...

Does baseball have the juice to save America?
The theaters are full of movies where some popular diversion captures the spirit of a nation in troubled times. Historians like to point to, say, a horse named Seabiscuit becoming a symbol of hope during the Great Depression. More directly, the US Olympic hockey team’s 1980 victory over the USSR vented some Cold War stresses. HBO tried to say that the 2001 World Series, played...

Trent Rosecrans has the Reds spring training roster, mean while Mark Sheldon writes about the prospects that recived invites.Supposedly the Reds are open to signing a left handed hitter, but that man isn't going to be Dunn.

The Diamondbacks Outfield Situation. Also, My Return.
...And we're back. With the return of the Dbacks set to begin tomorrow in their first Spring Training game, this blog returns to regular posting.

So i stepped away for a while.But recent...

Eric Hinske
Bucs are interested in him too. If we're interested in signing someone that can actually be useful as a utility/fourth outfielder in 2009, Hinske scores much higher on the scale than Luis Gonzalez. I have taken this occasion to actually make a new poll, which you can find in the left sidebar.

Pirates Interested In Gonzalez
The Pirates are reportedly showing interest in veteran outfielder Luis Gonzalez, according to the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette. Gonzalez has really taken to mentoring young players, like he did in Florida. In 136 games last season, Gonzalez hit .261 with 8 HR and a .336 OBP. He probably wouldn't have a huge impact on the team on the field, but he would provide the Pirates with an...
