Manny Ramirez Suspended for 50 Games
Manny Ramirez was suspended for using a banned substance.Is anyone still surprised about this stuff?I admit that I was a little surprised but hearing more of the information there isn't a way to guarantee what Manny's intentions were. It wasn't ster...
That's a Great Start but...
The Florida Marlins have started the season 11-1. That sounds great but let's just hold on one quick second. I am not trying to take anything away from this team. I was on their bandwagon before spring training even started but it wasn't because I...
American League Preview
Ok, I know you are all going to say, "How can you put your preview up after the season has started?" Let's be honest with ourselves, it's at most two games into a 162 game season. Really, does me watching the first game of the season really give me...
MLB Ridiculous Blackout Rules
I have hated MLB's television blackout rules for a while now. In my area we are blacked out of Nationals, Phillies, Pirates, and Orioles.Now honestly that isn't the worst since I don't really like any of those teams and 3 of them suck. BUT I am a M...
National League Preview
The Major League Baseball season starts on Sunday with the Phillies starting their World Series title defense against division rival Atlanta. I was going to try to do each division or each team or something but I decided that the best way for me to ...

Manny turns down 25 million(ESPN)....Manny's an idiot, so is BorasI guess Manny doesn't care about his reputation of being all about the money. He was once a fan favorite in Boston and the people in LA absolutely loved him last season but now he is ...
Wait.....What??
A couple days ago Verb tried to tell you that there is stuff going on in sports. He is full of it.We all know that February, along with July, are the worst months for sports in the entire year. And honestly August isn't too much better but it helps...

Bud Selig says A Rod "shamed the game".....Bud you are an idiot.Now is not the time to attack a star player by saying you are "saddened" by the fact that A-Rod used steroids. And why would you say A-Rod "shamed the game" when a few others admitted t...

A-Rod admits to steroid use.....good for you Alex.I don't see why everyone is so upset about this. We all knew that MULTIPLE players (maybe as many as 75-90% of players) were using steroids through this era. So what? It wasn't illegal in baseball ...

A-Rod is a former steroids user.....you surprised?I am sure you have heard about this and you surely have your own opinion. But here is mine. Steroids were all over the place when this happened (2003) and it doesn't bother me at all. If these guys...

After a little time off I am back to tell you what I think about the current sports news stories.Signing Day in college football......important but not defining.Some people get all excited when their team signs a top 5 class. They should. It is imp...
The GM Says....1/23
It has been a terribly boring week in sports with no real big happenings going on. Really that is how it is when the NFL isn't doing anything like this week. After the Super Bowl you start to have free agent talk then the combine and draft. But ri...
2008, What a Year!
2008 was a crazy year in the sports world! There were so many big stories and touching stories that it would be impossible to talk about all of them in one post. If I tried to do that, it would take me 3 hours and you would never be able to get to...
The GM Says....
Mike Tomlin...what the hell? You had nothing to gain by playing all your starters in this game. If you had a quarterback like Eli Manning or Kerry Collins who aren't going to put themselves in harms way every week than fine let them play. But you ...
Verb's Blurb's - 12/29
Verb's Blurb's is going to be a column that gives me the chance to write about things that may not be coming from the big 3 sports or in some case's may be coming from there but may not be worthy of an entire post.It will be things that are note-wort...
What's Your Verb? - 12/22
I got Beef!I know its the offseason and trust me, I think football is way more important right now, but someone has me ticked off!The Steinbrenner's and Brian Cashman are out of control. I know I should have seen this coming because it happens every...
The GM says....
So is Rafael Furcal a Dodger or a Brave??? A couple days ago he was back in Atlanta and now they are saying he is back in LA. I don't know what is going on but you know what....it is only December and we really don't care about baseball anyways.Whe...
The GM Says....
TO says he didn't do anything wrong. And he also says that for some reason people won't let go of what happened in San Fran and Philly? Geez, I wonder why people wouldn't want to let that go?All this talk about the genius NFL schedule makers.....r...
