Before the steroid era forced his hand, former MLBPA chief Donald Fehr strongly objected to a comprehensive drug testing policy on the grounds of privacy. Most people snickered at his explanation, believing the union boss was using his concern as an excuse to [...]

If Albert Pujols’ decision to head west was a time bomb, Ryan Braun’s positive test for performance enhancing drugs was an atomic blast. Already facing the loss of Prince Fielder to free agency, the Brewers must now go forward with Braun’s pending 50-game suspension hanging [...]

Even in peace, MLB finds a way to get bruised. Instead of focusing on the unprecedented 21 years of labor peace that will result from yesterday’s new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), the focus of many, if not most, has been on elements of [...]

Joe Maddon and Kirk Gibson were named the AL and NL managers of the year, and, all things considered, they were probably the most deserving candidates for the award. Both managers overcame diminished pre-season expectations and led their relatively young teams to the [...]

Burnett vocalizes discontent; should embrace silence instead
Monday’s 6-4 win over the Twinkies was an exciting day for just about everyone in Yankeeland. Mariano Rivera surpassed Trevor Hoffman‘s 601 save record and all was right in the world.
