Nationals star Bryce Harper will compete with Robert Griffin III for ownership of ‘The District’
After violently colliding with the outfield wall at Chavez Ravine, Washington Nationals wunderkind Bryce Harper is not in the team’s lineup tonight against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Despite suffering shoulder and knee bruises, the 20-year-old Harper managed to escape without serious injuries and will likely return to the diamond on Wednesday. An All-Star and National League Rookie of the Year award winner in 2012, Harper is batting .303 with 10 homers and 21 RBI over 35 games. Sporting an asinine haircut and considered a cocky and malignant bat cave by many onlookers, pundits and critics, the first overall pick … Continue reading

Although a quasi geriatric, Andy Pettitte continues helping the New York Yankees thrive
Using a piercing cutter and pinpoint control, borderline Hall of Famer Andy Pettitte guided the New York Yankees to a 3-2 victory over the Royals on Saturday in Kansas City. As a three-time All-Star who has captured five crowns in pinstripes, the 40-year-old Pettitte (4-2, 3.83 ERA) whiffed seven Royals and only surrendered two runs over seven strong innings. Sitting atop the American League East with a record of 22-13, Pettitte, CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Mariano Rivera are the primary reasons New York remains dominant despite numerous injuries. Blessed with an extremely solid bullpen anchored by the ageless Rivera, … Continue reading

Stifling the Braves on Saturday, Madison Bumgarner continues dominating for the San Francisco Giants
Rebounding from a hideous start last week, Giants ace Madison Bumgarner stifled Atlanta Braves hitters in a 10-1 victory on Saturday in San Francisco. The 23-year-old Bumgarner (4-1, 2.18 ERA) fanned 11 Braves and yielded only one run over seven innings. With Ryan Vogelsong, Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum continuing to struggle, “Mad Bum” is one of the primary reasons the Giants (22-15) remain atop the National League West.

Scott Kazmir continues thriving as a member of the Cleveland Indians
Fanning 10 batters and looking utterly dominant, reclamation project Scott Kazmir led the Indians to a 9-2 blowout victory over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday in Cleveland. Even more impressively, the 29-year-old Kazmir (2-1, 4.87 ERA) threw 72 of 103 pitches for strikes over six innings. Inexplicably losing his velocity and command overnight hurling for the Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Angels, the southpaw has won consecutive starts using a fastball clocked around 91-92 mph. As the American League strikeout king in 2007, Cleveland (18-14) signed Kazmir to a minor league contract in December and Indians manager Terry Francona … Continue reading

Dan Shaughnessy deserves credit for questioning if Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz continues to cheat
After Blue Jays fans serenaded the tarnished designated hitter with chants of “steroids” during last week’s series in Toronto, acclaimed Boston Globe sportswriter Dan Shaughnessy rightfully questioned if Red Sox star David Ortiz is again abusing performance-enhancing drugs. Ortiz, who was publicly revealed by The New York Times to be one of approximately 100 ballplayers that tested positive for doping in 2003, is currently hitting .381 with four homers and 17 RBI in 63 at bats. At least somewhat the result of being a raging juicehead, Ortiz has suffered from an irregular heartbeat and battled knee, shoulder, heel, quadriceps and … Continue reading

Memorable sports moment of the week – Darryl Strawberry debuts as a professional with the New York Mets
Famed right fielder Darryl Strawberry debuted as a professional with the New York Mets 30 years ago today on May 6, 1983. The 21-year-old Strawberry, taken by New York out of Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles with the first overall pick in the 1980 MLB Draft, recorded his first hit two days later on May 8. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, the 6-foot-6, 200 pound Strawberry was a menacing presence at the plate.

Likely thanks to steroids, Alex Rodriguez has already been cleared to begin baseball activities
Ahead of schedule recovering from surgery to repair a bummed left hip, speculation is mounting that New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez continues abusing steroids. The 37-year-old Rodriguez, who has already been cleared to begin baseball activities after undergoing the knife in January, will likely be subjected to a 50-game suspension for frequenting an anti-aging clinic in Miami called Biogenesis. Hence, Rodriguez, who acquired the bynames “A-Fraud” and “Bitch Tits” for doping, will lose $7.65 million in salary once temporarily barred from the sport. Rodriguez, a visitor to the disabled list six times over the past six seasons, has … Continue reading

Finally earning a victory for the first time since 2010, Indians pitcher Scott Kazmir has resurfaced in Cleveland
Following two hideous outings, Indians reclamation project Scott Kazmir stifled Minnesota Twins batters to lead the team to a 7-3 victory in Cleveland on Saturday afternoon. The 29-year-old Kazmir (1-1, 6.28 ERA), who easily outperformed Trevor Bauer, Carlos Carrasco and Daisuke Matsuzaka to become Cleveland’s fifth starter, vacated the mound as a winner for the first time since 2010. A two-time All-Star selection who signed a minor league contract with the Indians (14-13) in December, Kazmir yielded just two runs on five hits over six innings against Minnesota. Kazmir, who is 67-62 with a 4.20 ERA since debuting as a … Continue reading
