You can’t open up a newspaper or sports website without seeing people talk about Manny Ramirez and his latest antics. The media has once again taken the bait and gone overboard with these situations. Manny has a history of doing these types of things, and they report on it like it’s something new. Sports reporters have started appealing to the lowest common denominator, and this situation with Manny Ramirez illustrates that. The first incident took place a few nights ago when he was still...

A lot of people have started using Twitter these days including professional athletes, many of them are slowly jumping on the Twitter trend and setting up accounts. Unfortunately for most of them it may be better to not have a Twitter account at all because the public continually seems to want to scrutinize every picture and tweet they put out there. Oakland Athletics’ Pitcher Brett Anderson had probably the shortest lived Twitter account in the history of professional sports. Anderson shortly... [Read more]

The Atlanta Braves lost arguably the best player in their team history last week to a season ending injury, this is a common theme that happens to many teams every season. Good teams find a way to move on and adapt to the situation which the Braves are full well capable of doing, but what about the player who is injured? What is left for them? While most 38 year old third basemen with 17 MLB seasons under their belts would probably call it a career after tearing their ACL with fifty games left... [Read more]

One of the historic teams in baseball the Atlanta Braves, have been mired in mediocrity for the last few seasons. This was coming off of one of the most impressive runs by any team in any professional sport, 15 straight division titles is a feat that may never be matched. The Braves showed a lot of potential last season, and expanded on that potential this year which has brought them back into the competitive balance. The Atlanta Braves had to move to the top of the list of teams that are racing... [Read more]

B.J. Upton has had a bit of a rough career during his time in Tampa Bay, for all the times when he has had success there seems to be some sort of problem or failure that follow soon after. He shows his great potential at times, and then he reminds you of Delmon Young at other times. Recently in a series against the Boston Red Sox the Tampa Bay Rays won with Upton on the bench, and that begs the question is it time for them to dump Upton? “I just did not want to start him tonight based...

Even though the Tampa Bay Rays made a world series appearance two seasons ago, and is currently the top team in the AL East. Not many people truly know how good of a player their 3rd Baseman Evan Longoria is at this stage in his career. After spending two years in the minor leagues, Longoria hit a combined .301/.386/.534 with 44 home runs and 144 RBI, all before his 22nd birthday. Within one week of being called up, the Rays locked Longoria up to the longest contract in team history with a nine... [Read more]

Like many kids in America I collected baseball cards when I was young, I bought into the dream that if I obtained a really valuable card I would reap the benefits of holding on to for years as it grew in value. Well like many people my age all those stars we collected when we were young have not panned out for the most part. Ken Griffey Jr., Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco, and Delino Deshields just to name a few. In recent years kids have not collected baseball cards as much, and the entire industry... [Read more]
Atlanta Braves Break Losing Streak, Started Winning Streak of Their Own.

I know momentum doesn’t play as big of a role in baseball as it does other sports (specifically football), but I can’t see how the Braves aren’t flying high after this past win. With Brooks Conrad’s walk-off grand slam, the Braves have won three games in a row (all by walk-offs) and completed a sweep (even if it was only two games) over the previously surging Cincinnati Reds. With three games at Pittsburgh on tap, the Braves really have a chance to start climbing the division standings,... [Read more]
The Atlanta Braves End their Nine Game Losing Streak. Is it Time for Changes in Atlanta?

The Atlanta Braves recently ended their nine game losing streak, there seems to be multiple problems with how this team is put together. Most of the problems with the Braves seem to revolve around Braves’ General Manager Frank Wren. He started off having the tough job of replacing GM John Schuerholz who built a Dynasty in Atlanta and seemed to have things given to him on a silver platter, though in Schuerholz’s final few seasons he had made some questionable deals like trading MLB...
