Have Steroids Permanently Tainted Major League Baseball?

Steroids have been a cause for concern in the baseball world for the past decade.

Thinking about all the great names that have been mentioned in the Mitchell Report such as Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco, Sammy Sosa, Mark Mcgwire, Jason Giambi, Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, and many more, it puts a significant dent in the sport itself. With the increasing popularity of steroids being distributed among baseball players in the Major and Minor Leagues, no one knows what to expect.

CC Sabathia Is Not The Greatest Free-Agent Pitcher Signed by the Yankees

I find it funny that Yankee fans are already proclaiming that CC Sabathia is the greatest free-agent pitcher signing in team history. Colin Linneweber of Bleacher Report offers an article titled "CC Sabathia's the Greatest Free-Agent Pitcher the Yanks Have Ever Signed."

He offers quotes from Joe Girardi and Mike Scioscia of his performances in the 2009 postseason. Sabathia has had a stellar postseason going 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA, but last time I checked Sabathia has only been in New York for less than a year.

The Men in Black

One star has taken over the headlines and drawn all the attention on themselves this post-season. It’s not Alex Rodriguez, not Ryan Howard…I’m talking about the umpires.

CC Sabathia's The Greatest Free-Agent Pitcher The Yanks Have Ever Signed

The New York Yankees bludgeoned the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 10-1 in Game Four of the ALCS Tuesday night at Angel Stadium of Anaheim to move within one victory of their first trip to the World Series since the 2003 season.

 

Yankees ace lefthander C.C. Sabathia allowed only one run on five hits and two walks over eight stellar innings to help New York take a commanding 3-1 lead over the Angels in the best-of-seven series.

The ALCS MVP Race Spelled Out: A-Rod or CC?

If 2004 taught us anything, besides how to properly apply fake blood on a sock for profound effect, it would be to assume nothing.

What you're about to read assumes absolutely nothing. Zilch. Nada. It lives solely in the moment.

The Yankees played one of their best all-around games of the season on Tuesday night, a 10-1 win over the Angels that put them one victory away from their 40th American League pennant.

MLB Proves Once Again It Will Protect Players That Deserve Punishment

The MLB finally had a chance to do the right thing in regards to a player that was caught cheating, but instead just as usual MLB turned its back on its fans! It's getting very old; this is the same MLB that allowed for steroids to become rampant.

Who was MLB protecting this time? The answer is Mariano Rivera. On camera there's a clip that shows Rivera clearly spitting on a baseball. Here's the clip if you want to see for yourself what Rivera did.

Yankees-Angels: Sabathia, Rodriguez Give New York 3-1 Series Lead


So much for CC Sabathia not being able to pitch in the postseason, huh?

On just three days rest, New York Yankees ace CC Sabathia dominated the feeble Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim lineup and Alex Rodriguez hit yet another home run, as the Yankees crushed the Angels last night 10-1 to take a 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven ALCS.

However, before I get to my observations of last night’s action, I have to talk about something else first. I hate to talk about something outside the game itself, but in this case–it’s necessary.

Playoff Umpires Awful Yet Again—Something Needs To Change Soon

If playoff baseball has the best umpires in the business, there is something very wrong with the business.
In a postseason that has already seen a number of gaffs, the six-man crew covering Game Four of the Yankees-Angels ALCS took incompetency to a whole new level.
The umpiring team made three awful blunders, leaving fans wondering just how many men in black you have to have on the field to get a

Yankees-Angels: A-Rod, Sabathia, Crush LA—Move One Win From World Series

Alex Rodriguez connected on his fifth home run of the postseason and CC Sabathia dominated the Los Angeles Angels on short rest as the Yankees won 10-1 to move one win away from a trip to the World Series. 

A-Rod tied a postseason record with his eighth consecutive game with at least one RBI, and Sabathia handcuffed the Angels through eight innings of one-run ball to take a 3-1 series lead.

Hinske Omission Looms Large

While the majority sentiment has focused on over-managing and the alleged Mariano Rivera spitball, it’s an entirely different issue that may have cost the Yankees a nine-inning win last night.

 

With two on and one out in the top of the eighth and the score tied at four, Melky Cabrera and his slumbering bat feebly approached the plate. Predictably, Cabrera struck out.
