MLB: To Be Or Not To Be MVP Is Up To Ryan Braun

Tonight, Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun will be presented with the 2011 NL MVP Award at the Baseball Writers’ Association of America dinner in New York City and everyone is wondering what he will do. That is because back in October, Braun failed a routine performance-enhancing drug test. The levels of testosterone found were said [...]

New York Yankees: A Note To Brewers Fans

Dear Milwaukee Brewers Fans, It is saddening when troubling news breaks about a player that you admire, like it did with your perennial Milwaukee favorite Brewer Ryan Braun. I can safely speak for most New York Yankee fans in stating that things changed the day Alex Rodriguez admitted to using PEDs (performance-enhancing-drugs). Even though he [...]

MLB: Steroids Are Still Baseball’s Dirty Mistress

When ESPN reported the news that 2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun had tested positive for PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) it reminded me that baseball still had a dirty mistress.

Much to my dismay (click HERE to read why) , I obviously still extend my sincerest of CONGRATULATIONS to Detroit Tiger ace, and recent CY Young receipt Justin Verlander for being named the 2011 Most-Valuable-Player. There was no question that Verlander was the best pitcher across baseball this past season. Verlander finished the regular season [...]

New York Yankees: MVP To Granderson, Honorable Mention To Verlander

With the announcement of the 2011 AL MVP Award just hours away, the endless debate still continues about who is the rightful winner. The  reason for all the hoopla is that Detroit Tiger, and recent crowned CY Young winner Justin Verlander has a good chance of taking the coveted annual award home later today. So, [...]

CY Young To Verlander Honorable Mention To Sabathia, Rivera & Robertson

Congratulations to Detroit Tigers Justin Verlander for his historic 2011 season. Verlander won the CY Young Award by a landslide, just as expected and well-deserved I may add. Verlander went 24-5 in the regular season, posting a 2.40 ERA, 250 strikeouts and pitched 251 innings. In all honesty, the rest of the CY Young voting [...]
