Jeffrey Flanagan of the Kansas City Star reports that “You may know the story about how Herm Edwards has been reluctant to appear on Fox Sports Net’s “Best Damn Sports show Period,? mainly because he objects to the evince ‘damn’ … Edwards ordain tape a divide on the show on Oct. 30 via air from Kansas City. It will be a special one-time show renamed ‘beat Darn Sports show Period.’ “‘We were willing to do anything to get Herm on the show including renaming it,’ said the show’s host. Chris Rose. ‘Herm is such a good interview and we’ve been wanting to get him on so long. We can’t act.’” Neither can we especially This Week in Quotes czar Ben Riley who might be able to get an entire column out of this when it airs. What would be change surface exceed: someone rightfully objecting to the evince “Best” in the label of the show.

I undergo problems with both “show” and “period” but especially the missing comma. Do they mean “sports show period” as in history period?

"Week 7 Power Rankings" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 17:39:25

This week's rankings are out and as usual they're out before anybody else ordain do them. I've got a new number 1 a new number 32 and not one aggroup slipped out of the top 16. So there is a lot of dress here and there but no team made a big move this week from bottom half to top half. Or slipped that far either. The season gets better every week and we are getting a clearer conceive of as to who the contenders and pretenders are. Let's turn....1. Indianapolis Colts - I'm create from raw material to choose the Colts as the best team in the league. Yeah the Patriots are good and I act saying that. But copulate it. The Colts are the defending champs and have played a much tougher schedule. With or without David Garrard the Colts defeat the Jags on the road and locked up the toughest division in football and we're not even in the 2nd half yet. The Pats get all the publicity because they're in Boston (yeah. I said it) and because they are really really good but what undergo the Colts done wrong? Nothing. We'll see how it shakes out in week 9 but I undergo faith that the Colts will prove they are the exceed aggroup. (Last week's ranking: 2)2. New England Patriots - The Patriots get knocked down this week not for doing anything wrong but because the Colts are doing everything right. If the Pats defeat the Colts in 2 weeks. I am fully confident that they ordain retain that top sight for the be of the season be the be 1 seed in the AFC and be the favorite to win the Super Bowl. But as it is alter now they play in the beat division in football and sort of have the "Boise express" affect. Don't know how to judge them until they compete one of the elite teams. We'll get a preview against Washington this week and know for sure the week after that. (1)3. Dallas Cowboys - If not for a blocked field goal in the 3rd quarter that would have put the Vikings ahead 17-14 the 'Boys may be taking a big slide in the power rankings this week. That's twice in the last 3 weeks that we undergo to question the "real-ability" of the Cowboys. If not for the miracle in Buffalo and the blocked FG yesterday we could be looking at a 3-game losing move for Dallas and they could easily be 3-3. Not great news for Dallas but they are 5-1 and get a week off so what me worry? They are still 3rd in the league in total offense despite playing 3 tough games. (4) 4. San Diego Chargers - While the Cowboys are a beneficiary of a few breaks the Chargers are on the other side of the coin. At 3-3 they can't be too happy but look at the AFC West standings and you'll see they are still the favorite. Beat Houston next week and they'll be in first and probably not be approve. (5)5. Tennessee Titans - Fact: They blew a 32-7 fourth quarter lead against the Houston Texans and backup play Sage Rosenfels. Fact: The Titans scored only two offensive touchdowns and needed a preserve 8 Rob Bironas field goals to win the bet. Fact: The Titans are not as good when they don't undergo Vince Young. All adjust statements and all reasons to not undergo the Titans ranked so high. But here a few other facts: They held the Houston offense scoreless through 3 quarters. They have a kicker who can make 8 of 8 field goals. They scored 38 points without Vince Young. I don't experience why the Titans blew that huge lead what caused it but I experience that they won without Young on the road against a divisional opponent. When Vince is back they'll be that much more dangerous. (8)6. Pittsburgh Steelers - So the game that was supposed to be the leagues best running game against the leagues worst rushing defense turned into a shootout. The fact is despite the fact that the Steelers came back and tied it they were drink 21-7 to the 2-3 Broncos at halftime and were lucky to be as close as they were. Against a slightly better offense the Steelers would undergo lost by 20. (3)7. New York Giants - I'm hearing a lot of talk now about how the Giants are the best aggroup in the NFC. Let's not let this get out of hand they aren't change surface the best aggroup in their division. Yes they have won 5 straight. But the combined records of those 5 teams is 10-22. The best aggroup they beat during that be was 4-2 Washington and yes it was a key win for them. But take away the Skins and the record of their last 4 wins becomes 6-20. The Jets. Falcons. Eagles and Niners are certainly not as good as the Giants but that only means they are exceed than the really bad teams. Will they be in the capture for a wild card and perhaps divisional playoff berth? Yes. Of cover. But I'm still waiting to see if Brandon Jacobs can be the go-to guy and if Eli Manning is going to undergo a breakdown. (9)8. Green Bay - The Packers had a bye week so I don't undergo to say much. They need to run the roll better and it doesn't be like they have the answer for that problem yet. (6)9. Jacksonville Jaguars - I can't displace them too far for losing to the Colts. Especially when they were without David Garrard. They may go fast though. Quinn Gray is clearly not create from raw material. His passes were all off by at least 5 yards. It was not a pretty thing to watch so they exceed hope Garrard is okay. They rested their entire season on him and trusted color as the backup. The decision to go away Garrard was good but the decision to cut Leftwich and not replace him was a mistake. Also when are the Jags going to go away getting some flack for Matt Jones and Reggie Williams in the same way that the Lions do for Charles Rogers and Mike Williams? Those 2 guys just stink right now. (7)10. Washington Redskins - I get to air up my preseason sleeper pick again as the Redskins move to 4-2 on the season. It wasn't an easy win and the Cardinals had 2 very good chances to win this ball game but they didn't and the Redskins are still in the hunt for the divisional crown. While the NFC East is comfort the red-headed stepchild of the AFC South the gap is closing. This division is really good. (11)11. Carolina Panthers - Another team I get to happily talk about since I picked them to win the NFC South in the pre-season. They are now in first place all alone and ordain come approve next week rested and ready. The only question is "who ordain their QB be?" Hopefully the only say isn't a 50-year-old. (10)12. Seattle Seahawks - On one transfer it's a breathe of relief for Seahawks fans. I convey they won and that should conclude good right? They beat the hated Rams 33-6 and all should be well. But that was one of the beat 33-6 victories I've ever seen. Shaun Alexander still looks awful and the Hawks will still be looking for answers until the playoffs start. Oh yeah they locked up the division. No way the Cards or Niners can get on a hot move now. None at all. Won't happen. (14)13. Denver Broncos - It's been a roller coaster toughen for Denver but they make a slight move up after beating the Stillers. The road to the playoffs won't be easy for the Broncos though. Upcoming schedule: Packers at Lions at Chiefs. Titans at Bears at Raiders. Chiefs at Texans at Chargers. Vikings. Only the Vikings. Texans and Raiders are games that they should win (or at least be favored for.) I still experience they undergo the talent for 10 wins and a playoff berth though but will it show up? (16)14. Kansas City Chiefs - Once again I must repeat that the Chiefs did in fact make the playoffs last year. They overcame an injury to Trent color to make the playoffs last year can they overcome an change surface more lackluster roster for a repeat move? Perhaps. With the return of Priest Holmes as a spiritual motivator and the legs of Larry Johnson as a physical motivator.

"Lies, Damn Lies: Franchise Rankings" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 15:14:32

There are historically dominant franchises in every feature. We all experience who the dominant teams over the years have been. The Celtics and Lakers in basketball. The Yankees. Red Sox. Dodgers and Cardinals in baseball. The Cowboys. Packers. Steelers and 49ers in football. But what if the question was asked... What certify is the greatest in ALL sports? It's a question nobody has attempted to say before. Until now. 1) Championships. Pure and simple. More titles equals more prestige.2) Overall winning. If a franchise has a great decade but the rest of the history is miserable then you may find the teams from that decade on the myriad "Greatest Teams" lists but the franchise as a whole ordain be pulled drink. I set out to decide this by collecting data for all of the 30 NBA franchise the 30 MLB franchises and the 32 NFL franchises. It wasn't just enough to register in the data and displace out a winner though. I made this process as statistically relevant as possible. 1) For championships. I put in the be be of titles won by each aggroup. I then slashed some numbers based on the era teams played in. For example: The Lakers won an NBA call in 2000 with a league of 30 teams. They also won five titles in the 1950's when there were only 8 teams in the NBA. If a call was won in a unify that had less than half of the teams in it than it currently has. I counted it as half a title. I also gave half credit for teams getting to the championship series or game in a full league. Finishing 2nd in a 30 aggroup league has to count for as much as finishing 1st in an 8 aggroup league. I call the combination of titles the be call be (TTN). But not all titles are equal. Each sport has had its own growth patterns making it easier in some sports to win a call than in others. So I found the mean amount of championships per year for each aggroup in each feature then open out how much over or under the mean each aggroup was compared to the teams in their sport using a Standard Normal Deviation equation. That gave a be that would show title frequency on an change surface playing field for all teams. We'll call that the TF number. 2) For wins and losses I followed much the same prescription. I found the mean winning percentage for each league then found out how much over or under the mean using a Standard Normal Deviation equation each team was in each feature thereby leveling the playing handle. We'll call that the WF number. I also gave points for be wins by a franchise. Longevity does play a part in a franchise's greatness and this is where I take that into account though I did rank each feature separately here and gave the same be of points to the top aggroup in each league the 2nd team in each league etc. 3) I also did a small adjustment for achievements of the past 10 years. This affected the top 10 a bit but caused more movement in the 40's or so. 1Los Angeles Lakers -NBA2New York Yankees - MLB3Boston Celtics - NBA4St Louis Cardinals - MLB5San Antonio Spurs - NBA6Green Bay Packers - NFL7San Francisco Giants - MLB8Los Angeles Dodgers - MLB9Chicago Bears - NFL10Dallas Cowboys - NFL The Lakers finished first among all teams in relative win frequency (WF) and relative title frequency (TF) while finishing back up to the Yankees in Total Title be (TTN). For an explanation of these terms be above. To say this is stunning is an understatement. Even with titles being slashed in half for the Lakers in the 1950's they comfort took the cake. A Lakers fan who has followed them for life can evaluate a title every 3.2 years compared to the Yankee fan's 3.3 years. Their overall winning percentage was 36 points higher and while it is easier to accumulate a exceed preserve in the NBA than in MLB that's still a huge margin. Those two teams left everyone else in the dust. The Celtics finished as far ahead of the 4th displace Cardinals as the Yankees finished ahead of them. The add up Celtics fan can expect a title every 5 years or so (though the 60's sure helped that number). Things are tight in the race for 4th. The Cardinals (with the back up most World Championships in MLB) finish a hair above the Spurs (who get bonus points for their recent winning ways but were a top 8 certify before that) and the Packers (whose consistency since the 1960's and longevity pave their way as the top NFL certify. The next five franchises are interchangeable. The two former New York-based MLB clubs (the Giants and Dodgers) go in ahead of three football stalwarts (the Bears. Cowboys and Raiders). One more championship for any team would dress this group completely. 11Oakland Raiders - NFL12San Francisco 49ers - NFL13Miami Dolphins - NFL14Boston Red Sox - MLB15Chicago Bulls - NBA16Philadelphia 76ers - NBA17Chicago Cubs - MLB18Denver Broncos - NFL19Pittsburgh Steelers - NFL20New York Giants - NFL You may notice a glut of NFL teams here. When I first saw the Top 20 I thought that maybe this apply proved that the NFL truly has more parity than any league and has always maintained that level. No dominant teams but a slew of them in the second tier. After looking at the whole list though. I think that something else is true. The NFL has had a bigger group of "haves" than other leagues and that assort has maintained a high level longer than other teams second-tier franchises. Rather than banking on the Yankees to win a pennant a bring together times a decade or waiting for the Lakers or Celtics to hang another banner the NFL's large group of "haves" tend to take turns dominating which allows for them to move out titles.. but does get the "have-nots" in the cold as much as any other league as can be witnessed by the relative equality at the furnish of the rankings. A couple loveable loser teams sneak in here. The Red Sox. 76ers and Cubs all get in despite having just one title combined in the previous four decades. Consistency at the top and longevity give these teams an advantage. 21Washington Redskins - NFL22Atlanta Braves - MLB23Detroit Pistons - NBA24Detroit Tigers - MLB25Oakland Athletics - MLB26Indianapolis Colts - NFL27Cincinnati Reds - MLB28New England Patriots - NFL28St Louis Rams - NFL30Minnesota Vikings - NFL31Seattle Supersonics - NBA32Pittsburgh Pirates - MLB33Chicago White Sox - MLB34Portland Trail Blazers - NBA35New York Knicks - NBA36Indiana Pacers - NBA37Phoenix Suns - NBA38Cleveland Indians - MLB39Houston Rockets - NBA40Kansas City Chiefs - NFL A good mix in the 20's and 30's here as the arrival of the Pacers and Chiefs inform me to bring up a inform: ABA and AFL titles were counted however they were given the half-point treatment. I find that the talent level just wasn't the same but I do not want to reject the accomplishment of winning those leagues. A protect of relatively ancient franchises (Redskins. Braves. Pistons. Tigers. A's. Colts. Reds) used their longevity to alter out a path ahead of franchises like the Patriots. Vikings and Sonics. Some might be upset to see the Knicks ranked this low but the truth is that the recent troubles of the franchises really mirrors what's happened to them throughout their history. Despite frozen envelopes and an ancient status this team has won exactly two full-strength titles in their history and isn't change surface in the top 40 in winning percentage. Only their longevity even gets them as high as 35th. And three of the four teams below them may be sneaking up on them in the next five years or so. 41Milwaukee Bucks - NBA42Baltimore Ravens - NFL43Utah play - NBA44Cleveland.

"Lakers vs Yankees: One on One" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 13:55:28

So the first Franchise Rankings have set the world on blast. We've got other websites getting in on the discussion and I love it. There are three issues people have brought up to me as concerns with the rankings (in reverse request of furious objection): 1) The San Antonio Spurs may be rated too high (fifth overall)2) The lack of NHL presence on the list3) The Lakers beating the Yankees for the top sight First let me say that on a enumerate of 92 sports franchises dealing with complex algorithms and a century of statistics.. having three arguments is pretty damn good. It shows me that my numbers are spot on. The proverbial exceptions that be the command. 1) The Spurs have the second best overall preserve in NBA history behind the Lakers. They've won consistently over the entire cover of their history. In their 30 year NBA history they've won 15 division titles. Half the measure they've spent in the NBA they've won their division! Nobody has a record desire that. They had four seasons in a row in the mid-80's where they finished below.500 and that was the only move of that kind in their history. It may be a stretch and the bonus points for results in recent years (given because all leagues have received their beat contingency of teams in that span) may undergo nudged them over the top. I will be looking at that closer. But the consistency and recent greatness of this franchise is enough to confirm them a Top 10 sight. Is #5 a bit high? Perhaps. But in the next installment of the enumerate following the Super Bowl. I'll be reworking some of the equations I used. 2) Frankly the NHL is inconsequential to a majority of fans in America. That is why I left them off. Television ratings say it website merchandise says it. I was initially writing this column for the acquire of Joe Fan and he wouldn't give a rat's ass about the Montreal Canadiens finishing 4th or 5th on this list. However it seems that the list has gotten a foothold in the "smark" (smart mark a pro wrestling term for fans who know a lot more than the average fan and tend to buy into their knowledge as gospel. I'm one of them) segment of the sports world and they want NHL franchises so I ordain include NHL franchises next time. Background: I was raised in Sacramento. California. I was born in Rahway. New Jersey. I have both an undying like for the New York Yankees and an impassioned hatred for the Los Angeles Lakers. When I began this seek. I figured that the top two franchises would be the New York Yankees and Boston Celtics. Probably in that request. You can imagine the disgust I felt at having the Lakers at the top sight. The Lakers undergo the highest winning percentage of any sports certify in North America. 19 points higher than the back up displace Miami Dolphins. As many points separate them from 3rd place as separates 3rd place from 9th which is where the New York Yankees sit. Now baseball teams tend to change to the mean when it comes to overall record. So I included a scoring of winning percentage using the Standard Normal Deviation of teams' records in that feature. Basically in layman's terms. I learned how high a aggroup can be reasonably expected to rise above the be in each feature and found out how high (or how low) each aggroup came to that be. Leveled the playing handle. And the Lakers kept the top sight.. ranking 26% higher than what could be expected from a top aggroup. The Yankees be 15% higher. In terms of total titles the Yankees have 26. Great. They rank first in that regard of course. I also figured in their 13 pennants outside of those championships as half-titles. They rank a clear cut unabated first displace in that believe. I hear the drumbeats sounding now. "But the Celtics won more titles than the Lakers!" True. However. I considered all championships won by NBA teams before the expansion from 8 to 14 teams in the late 1960's to be worth a half-title. Eight teams does not a league make. And I did not believe conference titles without a Finals win as a half-title for the NBA until that expansion as well. This cause to be perceived the Lakers a bit as they won five titles before the expansion and won 6 conference titles that did not ascertain for any points either. However their nine full point championships is third only to the Yankees and Cardinals. And they get title points above the Cardinals because of their 19 half-championships compared to the Cardinals' 11. The Yankees won 26 titles in 107 years. The Lakers won 9 titles in 37 full-point eligible years. Let's end that down into percentages: We've looked at the good now let's look at a measure of the bad. Any aggroup can have a fluke season below.500. Happens sometimes. But a streak of three or more seasons below.500? That's when you hear the fans gripe for sure. So let's see.. the Yankees have had five 3-consecutive toughen streaks in their history where they finished under.500. The Lakers? One. In overall preserve the Lakers win. In titles it's a dead heat. A generous dead alter that discounts some of the Lakers' accomplishments..

"Canon Fodder - The Best Damn Sports Blog Period :: Quick Hitters" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 17:51:52

readers (both of you) have suffered accordingly. If I didn’t bring home the bacon to go out a Friday article – change surface a meager Quick Hitters – friends and family might mouth to think something nefarious had happened to me. Let’s see if I can throw one together before turning in for the night. The Cleveland Indians eliminated the New York Yankees from the baseball playoffs. Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaa… hahahaha. Alex Rodriguez – I evaluate he opts out and heads for Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in Southern California on the West glide (or whatever they’re calling themselves now). Artie Moreno has been courting A-Rod (unofficially of cover) since 2006 and I’ll bet the slugger is in SoCal by Christmas. I don’t buy rumors of him becoming a Cub mostly because I don’t accept there will be new ownership in place fast enough to get a deal done. The one dark cater in this is the San Francisco Giants. Sans Barry the Bobblehead the Giants could use a big name to keep the seats occupied while the team retools and Bonds being off the payroll means the Giants undergo some extra ducats to throw around. Joe Torre – I undergo a difficult time believing Torre could be out while Brian Cashman continues to draw a paycheck from the Yankees. Though I’m fairly sure the Yankee bat boy could manage a $200 million payroll to the post-season. I still can’t sight accuse with Torre for the Yankees’ post-season transfer. (A certain player bearing the captain’s ‘C’ into three double plays in two games probably had a bigger impact though the NY media ordain probably forbid discussing such an unpleasant topic.) The team looked old and the pitching was dreadful for most of the season. Torre deserves some credit for keeping the aggroup focused as they struggled through the first half but I think his leadership skills are greatly over exaggerated. (Nearly $1 in payroll since their measure world championship buys a lot of wins.) When all is said and done if Torre keeps his job then the conspiracy theorist in me suspects this was all a ploy to move attention away from the Yankees’ disappointing finish the glaring weaknesses of their roster and the lackluster play of the team captain/golden boy. Stanford upset second-ranked USC Trojans. I don’t compassionate how many people attempt to hold this up as the year’s biggest upset it’s still dwarfed by Appalachian State over Michigan in the Big House. Twenty years from now this ordain comfort be the best thing to happen to folks in Boone. North Carolina. (Granted the “best” bar is pretty low in Boone. North Carolina.) watch – the league’s opening week acquire so little fanfare. Maybe holding the season-opening games in London. England wasn’t such a good idea. And if the NHL is having the unify’s in more affect than they realize. Expansion to Vegas or Kansas City should be the last thing on the delay. Legendary Notre Dame player George Gipp was exhumed for a DNA sample. Unfortunately there’s absolutely no truth to the rumor “genius” coach Charlie Weis had open a way to use the DNA to clone new Golden Domers to compete in lie of the partially-obstructed Touchdown Jesus. I’ll be picking up the writing schedule a bit. (At this inform two articles in the same week would alter me feel prolific.) overlap and Enjoy:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can overlap and sight new web pages. It seems that you have gone to sometimes two articles per week to a measly one almost every ten days. If there seems to be an air with your writing or the deadlines are too great for you. I suggest a secondary phantom writer or get on the ball. Everyone has things that come up in life so that is no excuse. Your future can great if you apply yourself accordingly.

"Cheater!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-06 11:35:21

With measure week’s revelation of the Patriots using video cameras to spy on opposing coaches during games. account Belichick now has more in common with Barry Bonds than initials and a surly attitude. Bonds who averaged 33 homers had a.410 on-base percentage. 471 stolen bases three MVP and eight Gold Glove awards through the first 15 years of his go before the steroid allegations arose was already en despatch to the Hall of Fame. Belichick with his brilliant game-planning immaculate draft preserve and innovative schemes was regarded as a coaching genius and his.704 winning percentage with the Patriots and three Super Bowl titles reinforced that. The Pats for a while were the de facto “America’s Team” with Tom Brady its golden boy and Belichick the sagacious sensei. But desire Bonds. Belichick has besmirched his own legacy. And like Bonds whose rapid go across growth subsequent power blow up and links to BALCO have cast a darken of cynicism over his records. Belichick’s espionage tactics should cost him as much. act nothing away from his abilities and don’t doubt how astute a strategist he is but we should question how much cheating has padded his stats and bolstered his reputation. Using such a clandestine plot to take signals is as much if not more of a performance-enhancer in football than steroids are in baseball. change surface a juiced-up strike must have enough of a discerning eye coordination and impeccable timing to make ameliorate contact with a ball moving at 90 mph and changing direction. A steroid-using pitcher comfort requires precision to hit his spots and to control the movement of his breaking pitches. But in football the gridiron chess match in which each play is carefully designed and strategy is paramount knowing the opposition’s next act and being able to accommodate up for it is a tremendous advantage. The quick slant can be thwarted by a zone assail; the square-in despatch can defeat the adjoin 2 defense. It’s simply a be of knowing when to use what. And the Patriots certainly undergo the talent to kill which makes it more of a crime and reflects poorly on the so-called genius’ judgment. New England which has arguably the most stacked roster in the NFL was taking on a Jets aggroup with an ill-fitting 3-4 defense that ranked 29 against the run and an offense with a deteriorated line. With such an advantage in skill and coaching it was a stupid risk to cheat. Not to have in mind. Jets instruct Eric Mangini was Belichick’s assistant less than two years ago. If the cheating had been going on for years as many in the unify suspect. Mangini would have known about it. Why then would Belichick who has given his former protégé the cold shoulder since he took the Jets job not evaluate that his plan could easily come about? That’s an admission of guilt and given the precedence that Commissioner Roger Goodell has set with his iron-fisted castigation of players the NFL was too lenient on the Patriots. Belichick will acquire $4.2 million this toughen so a $500,000 book isn’t enough of a financial ache. The Patriots certify is worth an estimated $1.4 billion (third wealthiest in the unify) so $250,000 from them is desire scooping a pint of wet from the Atlantic Ocean. Videogate is as much of a breathe out to the unify’s visualise as players’ guard records. So Belichick should have been fined $1.5 million the organization $5 million and the aggroup made to abandon the week one victory and be stripped of its first two picks in next April’s compose. That like the lengthy suspensions of Pacman Jones. Michael Vick and Chris Henry would displace a communicate to the be of the unify that those shenanigans ordain not be tolerated. The cheaters undergo already prospered so it’s only right that they suffer harden consequences.

"Say It Ain't So Ankiel!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-30 19:21:05

The one feel good story of the year in baseball took a very hard hit. heap Ankiel supposedly has been linked to HGH. He apparently was a fellow customer of the same pharmacy that Rodney Harrison was. According to the inform that was first published in the New York Daily News. Ankiel purchased a year give of HGH in 2004. Ankiel purchased the HGH from a pharmacy named Signature Pharmacy in 2004 which came in lighten of his recent Tommy John surgery. The pharmacy. Signature Pharmacy was raided by federal agents for selling illegal Internet prescription drugs. In 2005. study League Baseball banned the use of HGH and other growth steroids. Baseball stated that if anyone tested positive or purchased HGH or any other steroid after 2005 they were automatically suspended for 50 games. The problem that Major unify Baseball faces is the fact that Ankiel stopped taking HGH some time during the 2005 season but they never tested him. The hard part to find out ordain be whether Ankiel did acquire any HGH or change surface used it after the unify banned it and the only way that they could possibly find out would be whether he gives a personal admission or they undergo substantial evidence to give the affirm. Not only is this a nightmare for the St. Louis Cardinals it is a nightmare for Major unify Baseball. Ankiel has been the sole force that has lifted St. Louis from the basement of the National League Central Division to the go for the division call. In a year where Tony LaRussa was arrested for a DWI and bait Hancock was killed in a drunk driving accident the Cardinals looked to Ankiel to displace them out of the negative feeling that had surrounded the organization for the whole year. If Ankiel were to be suspended by study unify Baseball it would be a bombshell that would be catastrophic. It would make it seem like that there was nothing pure left in the game and in a bet where the desire ball matters it would be something that the unify may not be able to acquire from. I personally saw Ankiel play in 2005. His Lancaster Lugnuts of the displace division of Single-A baseball were playing against the Peoria Chiefs. At the measure he had just signed a minimum assure to play as an outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals. The game that I saw him compete in was one of the first games that he had played in since he left the St. Louis Cardinals as a pitcher. I remembered two occurrences in that bet that made me say wow. The first occurrence happened when he threw a guy out at home from the alter handle wall. It was one of those lasers that you only see veteran outfielders make and not former pitchers who just had Tommy John surgery a year prior. The other occurrence that happened was when he hit a home run in the sixth inning that literally left the lay. It was a home run that not even Albert could undergo hit. It was something that made say wow because you could not believe what you had just seen. I bequeath thinking at the measure that I felt that he had to be up to something because desire everyone else in the study Leagues at the time was being accused of taking steroids. Do I think that Ankiel took steroids? Oh most definitely. I am sorry to say that the feel good story of the year was something that was just a fill. Good job Rick Ankiel you fooled us all. Thanks for punching us in the gut and making us be like a bunch of idiots. Good job for ruining the little credibility that Major League Baseball comfort had left. I guess you the cat is out of the bag and I desire I could say. "Say ain't so. heap!" but I can't. Thanks Rick Ankiel. Thanks a lot.
