 In Texans rookie LB Brian Cushing's exact words he will "take action toward" NFLDRAFTBIBLE.COM. This according to an interview with ESPN 1530 in Austin, TX.
It seems that there were allegations from the website stating that a number of college players entering the 2009 NFL draft had tested positive for steroids and some players for marijuana. Some notable players drafted in the allegat...

Lidge, on the other hand, could wind up pitching in tonight’s game if he makes it through the bullpen s...

Remember when I told you to stay the hell away from the Nats’ closer situation? Well, sometimes I can not even take the advice I dish out, because I added Julian Tavarez in one of my leagues. Luckily for me, I added him yesterday which means he was not in my lineup for last night’s debacle. Dude gave up two earned runs (five total runs) to go with the two hits and two w...

NC State fans know Andrew Brackman pretty well, as he was a two sport star during his time in Raleigh. New York Yankee fans will one day know the kid’s name pretty well themselves. The sports bettingguys will learn to love him also. The Yankees took Brackman with their first round pick in the 2007 draft. When they did so, Brackman was experiencing elbow pain, which lead to h...

What in the blue hell is wrong with the Kansas City Royals? Joakim Soria has not pitched since April 13th due to a sore pitching shoulder. That is already 15 days of roster space wasted for the Royals. They are hoping to get Soria back this weekend, so at this point it could be a moot point, but this is just puzzling to me. Why would you not put him on the Prior List and us...

The Atlanta Braves have pushed Kenshin Kawakami’s next start back due to soreness in his right shoulder. He was blown up on Sunday by the Reds, giving up eight earned runs in just 4.2 innings of work. When he was pitching in Japan, he was part of a six man rotation, so it is understandable that he needs time to adjust to taking the hill more frequently. However, it is n...

Over at InsideTheMajors.com, Bart Given looks at things from a front office perspective. He should know, since he is the former VP of Baseball Operations and GM of the Toronto Blue Jays. Mr. Given has a great entry up breaking down the Prior List, and he will be posting a second entry about it soon. I am going to refrain from doing any cutting and pasting, or quoting so...

Joel Hanrahan is the latest victim of the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen killing offense. After getting blown up by Raul Ibanez on Monday, Hanrahan is sitting with an 8.64 ERA and has already given up three long balls. As a matter of fact, dude has blown three of his five save opportunities, which makes him pretty much worthless right now.
This does not mean that Hanrahan can ...

So last night Brian McCann made his first of two rehab games for Class A Myrtle Beach. How did it go? That depends on your logic. McCann thinks it went really well, and says that he could see better than he has in a long time. Maybe I’m just a skeptic, but when dude strikes out looking while facing a single A pitcher I get my doubts. We’ll see how he does tonight...

Yovani Gallardo struck out 11 Pirates on his way to a 1 – 0 win today. Gallardo also provided all of the run production for the Brewers as he jacked a solo shot over the left field wall in the bottom of the seventh inning. Gallardo wound up going eight innings, and only surrendering two hits and one walk to the Pirates. Carlos Villanueva pitched the ninth for his second...
