Have you had that talk yet with your kids about STEROIDS, or otherwise known as “performance enhancing DRUGS”, as the pros call them. Just drop out the first two words in that title, and that’s exactly what you should be warning the athlete in your family about.

I’m wondering how quickly the number 34 Red Sox jerseys will depreciate in price over the next 24 hours, as news of Big Papi allegedly taking steroids in 2003, surfaces to Fenway fans.

Have you selected your favorite slugger to win the home run derby (actually called the 2009 State Farm Home Run Derby) during the Gatorade All Star Workout Break? Oh, how the advertising dollars rule.

What does Manny Ramirez, an eight-track tape and a penny have in common? They’re all worth about the same amount - valueless.
The Dodgers offered Manny $25 million for one more year. What would they get in return? A homerun-hitting cry-baby who throws tantrums in the dugout, walks at his own pace on the field and shoots his [...]
