    Alcohol in the clubhouse

    I heard a couple of MLB Network commentators (and former ballplayers) mention this some time ago. Apparently the so-called "rally beer" has been a quiet time-honored tradition for players that leave the game. Whether that makes it acceptable or not… well, your call. Even if the Sox were using...

    Do you want a Soccer forum?

    I'm not a soccer fan, but I have friends who are. It may never be as popular as baseball or football, but it's growing.

    Lab-grown meat is first step to artificial hamburger

    PETA has said that they will have no problems eating lab-grown meat. Personally, if they can make it taste like the real thing, I won't have any qualms about it.

    Do players that have a history of roids belong in HOF?

    I'm still on the fence about this, but last I heard, pot and beer generally make people worse baseball players. :D Steroids were legal back then, just as spitballs were legal during (mostly) the dead-ball era, so if all steroid abusers before the modern-day PED regulations get elected, I will...

    Come rant about offseason moves

    All of the offseason moves were great -- especially my Yankees getting rid of A. J. Burnett! I liked Montero's bat, but the Yankees are overflowing with bats and catchers. Martin and Cervelli can handle things behind the plate while Romine and Sanchez mature. I'll be complaining when he hits...

    Extra wild card

    I'm for it. The single-game playoff is kind of like football playoffs, which could be interesting, and might draw in some local non-baseball fans -- "Oh hey, our local baseball team finally made it to the playoffs!" I'm a big fan of the best-of-X format, and the winning team will be screwed by...

    Pujols at the Angels

    The AL West is turning into the AL East. Angels' bats versus Rangers' pitching... intra-division games are going to get interesting this year.

    Manny Ramirez - Signs with Oakland

    Actually, I heard because this is his second violation, he'll have to serve a 100-game suspension. If true, it would take him out of the equation until when teams start making playoff runs. If Cespedes isn't enough to get Oakland out of the cellar, they'll be too far behind for Manny's bat to...

    Come rant about offseason moves

    What an offseason this has been! Free agency took a baseball bat to several big-name teams. Prince Fielder left the Brewers and signed with the Tigers. Albert Pujols left the Cardinals and signed with the Angels. C. J. Wilson left the Rangers and also signed with the Angels. Jose Reyes left...
