"The Boneyard" in Montauk ...

Likely some self-serving on the cousin's part, but Good Lord. This has to be the nadir. Going to be an interesting spring training when he shows up. He peed on my wall

Pretty interesting piece about his PED use that aired on CBS .... The Case of Alex Rodriguez

Lester and Gomes to the A's for Cespedes Lester in the post season again?

Wow - pretty interesting excerpt from Mariano Rivera about Cano and Pedroia. Wonder if he'd write that if Robby stayed in NY? He doesn't have that burning desire

Reportedly 10 years, $240 million, and the differential between NY's best offer is magnified by no income tax in Washington state. Yanks offered more per year, Seattle decided to sign him until age 41. The Cano deal cost, more or less, what NY paid for both Ellsbury and McCann. Making it a...

Earlier in the week, ARod's lawyers said that if he took banned substances, it was because he was mislead by claims they were legal supplements. Late Thursday, his legal team sued baseball, claiming it bought the cooperation of Bosch. Both tactics shrewdly sidestep the issue of whether...

Not sure if this has any credibility, but the on-line New Haven Register published this link, so for better or worse the story is getting Internet play ... 50 Game Suspensions

Unbelievable. The Daily Campus is reporting that there's "pretty much no way to stay in the country if he's found guilty." Immigration Lawyer's claim

Congratulations! Here's a photo he tweeted on Tuesday, 11/13, saying he was very proud.

Per the Detroit Free Press, nice words about Andre ... Drummond Beast on Boards

In a bizarre attempt to avoid a 50-game drug suspension, Cabrera created a fictitious website and a nonexistent product designed to prove he unknowingly took a banned substance. Melky's Web site

Suns signed Jermaine O'Neal and cut him for roster space. Too bad. Hope he can catch on with another team. http://www.nba.com/suns/suns-sign-jermaine-oneal

JC's future with UConn after last season was a hot topic here last summer, and I admit I wondered why he waited so long to announce he was returning. I guess we know the reason why now - he was taking the "conservative" route to treating his ailment, hoping it would improve enough to make it...
