FINALLY...A-ROD COMES THROUGH IN THE CLUTCH!

It may have taken over eight years and 1,000 failed at - bats with runners in scoring position but Alex Rodriguez, star thrird baseman and perennial choke artist in the post season has finally came through with some big hits for The Yankees this October. Now I think he will go absolutely bat shit and bananas for the rest of the Post - season! I feel good for him because you know he was thisclose to taking a fatal dose of pills if he struck out with anymore runners in scoring position. You can't keep a good man down for too long. Keep up the good work!

Big Scapegoat

The Klan members with microphones, recording devices, typewriters and passwords to their own websites are at it again. As much as I love baseball and The New York Yankees I can't believe those loud mouths are trying to make David Ortiz, the famed Boston Red Sox slugger, the face of performance enhancing drugs. As a matter of fact the media are trying to make him and fellow Dominican baseball All - Star Manny Ramirez the scapegoats in this whole steroid culture era. WTF? Really? Has anyone noticed that the only people that, for the exception of Jason Grimsley, have had their names exposed on that list of over 100 men that tested positive for banned substances have belonged to Black and Brown men? I have. This shit is ridiculous. Now the media has assumed that since both Papi and Manny tested positive in 2003 that they were playing "dirty" in 2004 and 2007, making the Red Sox World Series chips null and void. Innocent until proven guilty doesn't mean anything unless you are white in this country and the sports world. Hold your head Papi, I am riding with you even though you are a part of Red Sox Nation.

It's that time of year - BASEBALL IS HERE!

The American in me loves baseball. I love it even though the hypocrisy in our democracy shows itself through America's national pastime. But hey I love it. Thanks to the ladies in my life Madeline Wilson and Betty Thomas (Rest In Peace to both) that introduced me to the game of baseball I have alot of love in my life for the sport that gave me racism, inequality and the steroid era. This year I will choose the Yankees to beat the Mets in the World Series (i am such a homer).
