The Dugout: Chicago Cubs Spring Training 2011
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsThe St. Louis Cardinals officially failed to reach an agreement with Albert Pujols and his weird, arbitrary middle-of-Wednesday deadline, and that means the door is wide open for the Cubs or the Angels or whoever to swoop in with $300 million and add a mythical, baseball-destroying beast to their lineup. If the Angels get Pujols, who knows how far they might go. If the Cubs can sign Pujols, they will continue to be the Chicago Cubs. The Dugout's 2011 Spring Training event continues today with the Cubs, who are always one timely news story away from just being a strip of Harry Caray saying ...
Baseball, the World Series and Steroids: George W. Bush Was Right
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyWhen he was part of the syndicate that owned the Texas Rangers, George W. Bush usually eschewed the owners' box for a seat in the stands, all the better to shuck peanuts and kibitz with the players, sometimes in his basic Spanish. Now that the Rangers are finally in the World Series – which opened Wednesday night in San Francisco -- the network cameras will scan the box seats looking for Bush, who likes to sit next to his old friend Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan. Perhaps some of Bush's old critics ought to also search him out -- and apologize. Baseball is a better game, a truer game, ...

The Dugout: Sammy Sosa on Fire
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsSammy Sosa believes that the legitimacy of his 609 home runs and the unbelievable realness of High Heat Baseball 2001 should earn him an amount of respect in the annals of baseball history. He wants to have his Chicago Cubs jersey retired alongside Ernie Banks. Unfortunately for him, the Cubs have already given his #21 to someone else. Today's Dugout deals with the harsh reality of moving on with your life after you've stopped being good at what you do best. No it isn't, it's about words being spelled incorrectly to mimic a Dominican accent. The Dugout ...
Sammy Sosa Miffed at Cubs Over Jersey
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsSammy Sosa claims the Chicago Cubs "threw me into the fire" and the team is trying its best to erase his high-flying years in the Windy City, the former All-Star slugger said in the September issue of Chicago Magazine. "They put me out there like I was a bad guy when all I did all my whole life was play hard and give everything I had for the organization and for the people of Chicago," Sosa said. Sosa is especially confounded by the fact the Cubs didn't make the effort to retire his No. 21, instead letting it circulate. Currently, outfielder Tyler Colvin has the No. 21 on his jersey. "My ...
A-Rod's 600th Merits Shrugs, Not Hugs
By Terence Moore - AOL NewsThe ghost of P.T. Barnum ("There's a sucker born every minute") is hovering over the bleachers at Yankee Stadium these days, because so many folks just don't get it. If you're among those folks -- foolishly trying to position yourself to grab the nothingness that will be the ball representing the 600th home run of Alex Rodriguez's career -- you needn't worry. I'm here to serve. So listen up: When that A-Rod moment comes, it should be ignored or booed. Better yet, the moment should feature those in attendance strolling to the exits in silence in honor of Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays ...
Sammy Sosa Escapes Perjury Probe
By A.J. Perez - AOL NewsThe Congressional committee that has crusaded against steroids in sports won't ask for an investigation of former slugger Sammy Sosa. "After a review of the matter, we will not be taking any action," said Jenny Thalheimer Rosenberg, a spokeswoman for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, in a statement. Rosenberg didn't elaborate why the Reform Committee didn't refer the case to the Department of Justice, like it did in the cases of Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada and seven-time Cy Young Award-winner Roger Clemens. Tejada pleaded guilty in February 2009 to lying ...
The Dugout: Ernie Banks On It
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsAs it turns out, Hall of Famer Ernie Banks is pretty good at whatever he tries to do. His newest hobby is trying to unite the new Cubs management with Sammy Sosa, the Killer Croc-esque former slugger who is constantly amazed by how real something is and who once hit over 60 home runs in a season. Banks is urging Sosa to come clean about his use of performance enhancing drugs a la Mark McGwire, but what Ernie is not taking into consideration is that Sammy is bat-plop insane. Today's Dugout is below, and in case you were wondering, it is so real. The Dugout ...
Ernie Banks Urges Sammy Sosa to Come Forward, Answer Questions
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsThe ripple effects are still being felt from Mark McGwire's confession and subsequent apology earlier this month that he used steroids for much of his career -- namely during the great home run chase of '98. Through natural thought process, the first name that comes to mind as being next in line is Sammy Sosa. While some people -- such as myself -- don't think anything Sosa could possibly say would ever be good enough for the masses, meaning he shouldn't even bother to open himself back up the public onslaught of venom, Chicago Cubs legend Ernie Banks believes it would do some good. The ...
Jack Clark Rips Into Mark McGwire and Steroid Users
By Tom Fornelli - AOL NewsThe use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs is an issue in MLB that's not going away any time soon, no matter how badly MLB, the players, fans and some members of the media want it to. It's also a subject that many different people have differing views of. If you were to poll the MLB writers and bloggers here at FanHouse about their view of steroids in baseball, odds are you would get about 12 different answers. Still, as dead-set against steroids as a few FanHouse staffers may be, I don't think the subject makes any of us as angry as it does former St. Louis Cardinal Jack Clark. Clark ...
