Alex "A-Roid" Rodriguez has to be one of the dumbest athletes in modern sports. He's getting paid $33 million per year, as part of a 52-year contract, so he's set for life. Yet he resorts to using steroids. Why? He clearly has it all. He's already on pace to break Bonds' home-run "record." Besides that, he's known as the best offensive hitter in the game, when healthy. The staff and myself racked our brains over why the slugger feels he needed the extra edge. Having been stumped, we came up with 10 reasons why he doesn't need steroids, in hopes of convincing the vain ballplayer to lay off the juice.

I want to apologize in advance to the seven loyal Rays fans that were out there before this playoff run. You guys/gals like myself (Royals fan) are long suffering fans of a moribund franchise until this season. God bless you and I hope your team does well.

A few minutes before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday afternoon, Jerry Jones pulled off a blockbuster deal for WR Roy Williams of the Detroit Lions. Yes, I said “blockbuster”! Keep in mind that trades are very rare in the NFL…especially at the trade deadline! The Cowboys gave Detroit a 1st, a 3rd, and a 6th round draft choice. In return the Cowboys received Roy Williams and Detroit’s 7th rounder. Did Jerry overpay? Did Jerry panic? That would be NO and NO!

HOUSTON DEFEATS CUBS 5-3 ON A CARLOS LEE HOME RUN AS HOUSTON TAKES SERIES
After the Cubs went 8-2 on their latest home stand which made their record at home 19-8, it seems as if they forgot how to play anywhere else. After losing to the Astros 5-3 and losing the series, the Cubs find themselves 9-11 away from the friendly Confines. If a team wants to find themselves in the post-season, they need to win the big games on the road. In a series that had playoff atmosphere, both teams were out to make statements. The Astros were louder than the Cubs according to Shawn Chaccon, who got the decision in the victory. "One message the Cubs might get out of it is, 'We're here. We're here to compete. We're going to battle,'" Chacon said. "'It's not the team it was last year. Basically, it's going to be a tough team to beat the whole year.'"

After the Cubs had one of their best records in April in 1969, the start of May is starting to resemble the collapse towards of the season in 1969.

In a week that could have seperated them from everyone else in the divison, the Cubs are now looking up towards the Cardinals who now have a 1 1/2 lead over the Cubs. Lets quickly recap this horrible week the Cubs have endured.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jason Marquis is competing for the final two spots in the starting rotation. If he does not make the rotation, he would probably end up in bullpen. In his first start during spring training he went 2 innings, gave up 2 runs, both earned, along with 3 hits. However, it wasn't his arm that hurt his chances of winning a spot in the rotation. Rather it was his mouth. Jason Marquis does not feel he should be competing for a starting job. He said he signed as a Cub because he thought he would be guaranteed a starter every year. "That's my ultimate goal, that's how I think I help the team the most. Obviously, we'll see what happens when it's time for them to make their decision," Marquis told reporters. Marquis was asked how he would feel if he did not make the rotation and ended up in the bullpen. he replied, " As much as I want to be here in Chicago, and I love it, I love the fans and the stadium, I also have a family to worry about, too. I could take my services elsewhere if that's the case, and I could help another team in that capacity as a starter. My value doesn't lie in the bullpen in my mind."

It was as recent as 2004 where Roger Clemens was at top of his game. It was his first year in the National League while playing for the Houston Astros. He ended up going 18-4 and eventually went on to win the National League Cy Young Award. How quickly can things can fall from grace. In December 13, 2007, Clemens name was listed in the Mitchell Report, which alleged that he had used steroids and HGH during the 1998-2001 seasons. Ever since those allegations, Clemens has been saying he was falsely accused with his lawyer Rusty Hardin backing him up. Even under oath in front of federal investigators and the Supreme Court, he kept to his story that he never did take HGH or steroids. What a horrible decision that would later be for him.
