Call off the FBI. Stop combing the area. It appears men's hockey coach Bob Gaudet has finally found some line combinations that work.
Okay, Sox fans, I'll just go ahead and say it: As many of you around campus have let me know, you were right and I was wrong. Who would've thought that every Cards hitter except Larry Walker and Albert Pujols would go MIA in the Series? Or that Tony LaRussa would make decisions that would make even Jimy Williams scratch his head? Or that Jeff Suppan would become, well Jeff Suppan? Anyway, congrats Sox fans, you certainly have something to celebrate.
I hate to say it, but I told you so. Since opening day, I touted the St. Louis Cardinals as the preeminent team in the game, only to be met by public ridicule, nasty blitzes and downright vitriolic letters to the editor. I was laughed at by nearly everyone who asked me to predict the National League Central champs. Well, the season's over now, and I think the standings speak for themselves.
Throughout Florida and Arizona lockers are being cleared out, trucks are being packed and players are finally spending more time on the baseball field than the golf course as teams prepare to end spring training and begin Major League Baseball's regular season.
This past week, federal prosecutors announced that they had found evidence that six professional athletes -- including baseball stars Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield -- had received human growth hormone (hGH) and the designer steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) from BALCO Labs.
It has been 104 days since Josh Beckett induced a slow-roller from Jorge Posada to end the 2003 World Series. However, though the games have long since ended, and many stadiums are filled with snow, baseball's second season, filled with trades, free agent signings, and salary arbitration hearings, is in full swing. This year's offseason has been especially dramatic in the American League, as the Yankees and Red Sox, both angry over their exits from the post-season, have taken turns making headlines with big moves and even bigger non-acquisitions.
With the Major League Baseball season winding down, and the passing of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, several contenders made bold moves to improve their clubs for the stretch run, while others decided to stand pat, citing fiscal constraints and a general lack of talent available with so many teams in the thick of the wild card race. The following is a run-down of the winners and losers from last week's flurry of activity.
With Major League Baseball's non-waiver trade deadline just over a week away, rumors abound as to which teams will act as "buyers" to stockpile talent for a potential pennant race, and which teams will be "sellers," offering high-priced veterans in return for prospects that may (or may not) be able to help them in coming years. Of special note this season is the uncertain economic situations of many teams, as trades often have to be cash-neutral to satisfy nervous owners in a depressed economic climate.
With the announcement of the Major League Baseball's All-Star Game rosters, America's true favorite pastime -- second-guessing the selections -- can begin in earnest. Though last year's tie- game fiasco has provided for several improvements as to how players are chosen, including allowing players to have some input, there were still several glaring omissions from the final rosters.
