Give Selig His Due for Interleague Play
May 24th, 2007
IF BUD SELIG played baseball, he’d probably have to be a designated hitter. That’s because he has a knack for dropping the ball, something he has done quite a bit in his 19 years as Major League Baseball’s commissioner.
Selig’s a lot like Barry Bonds, his game’s most infamous player: Both have more haters than supporters. Unlike Bonds, though, Selig doesn’t deserve all of the criticism he faces. While he’s not amazing at his job, he’s still more of a scapegoat than he is incompetent. Read the rest »
Guthrie is Baltimore’s Surprise Discovery
May 15th, 2007
JEREMY GUTHRIE is one of baseball’s good guys. He spends time with his fans before and after games, he’s always smiling and he even enjoys signing autographs.
Guthrie has always been a good guy, even before he was a first-round draft pick back in 2002. What Guthrie has never been (until now, at least) was a major league starting pitcher, a gig the Baltimore Orioles rookie can now add to his resume. Read the rest »

Key Could Play for Me
May 2nd, 2007
Keyshawn Johnson is out of a job again. He was cut by the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday afternoon, just three days after the Panthers drafted his replacement on day-one of the NFL Draft. Johnson was covering the NFL Draft as an analyst for ESPN, and was ecstatic when the team chose Dwayne Jarret, who like Johnson played his college ball at USC. Johnson looked into the camera and addressed Jarrett, telling the rookie pass-catcher that he would take care of him in Carolina. Johnson didn’t know it at the time, but he won’t get that chance, as he’s now a free-agent.
A year ago at this time it was the Dallas Cowboys who had just released Johnson, a three-time Pro Bowler, who was the the first player selected in the 1996 NFL Draft. Johnson wasted little time in agreeing to terms with Carolina, whom he went on to have a productive season for in 2006. He made 70-catches and compiled 815-yards and even scored four touchdown’s as the second-option in Carolina’s passing game. Read the rest »
