This season has been a trying one thus far for Gotham's baseball faithful. With the Mets and Yankees both floundering around the .500 mark the idea of a postseason sans New York has become a very real possibility. And the events of this past week, for the teams on both sides of town, have certainly left a sour taste in the mouths of those taking a bite out of Big Apple baseball.

Baseball is upon us. It's spring, and with the weather and the bats getting warm, America's pastime enters stage right. Even though the season starts out hundreds of miles across seas, the smell of a new baseball season is strong. After the most horrific off-season in the history of Major league Baseball, which included steroid scandal after steroid scandal, baseball is primed for a rejuvenating April. This season will surely offer no more Bonds, or at least until some desperate team tries to sell some extra hundred tickets, no more Clemens pitching in the minors in early July, and no more steroids.

After the Mitchell Report uncovered those responsible and strenuous team testings, the league for the most part has been squeezed dry of all poisonous juice. With young talent like Ryan Braun, Ryan Howard, Prince Fielder, and B.J Upton, baseball has inducted the new class of perennial superstars. We have A-Rod in a Yankees uniform for at least 10 more years, we have the best pitcher in the AL moving to best offense in the NL, and we have baseball looking greater than ever.

A-Rod will hit such-and-such amount of homers, Johan Santana will get __ wins in his new Flushing digs, Team X will finish with 80+ wins, etc. There is one thing that I know for sure, though. This year, the American League East will be a dogfight. (1 comment, 815 words in story) Full Story By dgrassi, Section MLB

But MLB has not learned much in the past couple of decades when it comes to the integrity of the game, in obeying the law and in protecting the best interests of its athletes, its most precious commodity. (2127 words in story) Full Story By dgrassi, Section MLB
If MLB does not proceed with caution and realize it has not merely entered the domain of industrial globalization but the world of global politics and diplomacy, it could prove damaging. (4 comments, 2028 words in story) Full Story
