Is Ricky Henderson Coming Back?

What the hell is this I hear about the man himself, Ricky Henderson, attempting to make a comeback to the majors? At 48 years old,most clubs say they "just dont have a spot open" to add him to a roster. I think thats plain bull. And for good reason- Henderson is OBVIOUSLY an established ball player, being the career leader in runs scored (2,295), stolen bases (1,406) and is only second behind Barry Bonds in walks with 2,190. To add to the list, Henderson has 3,055 career hits, 297 home runs, won the 1990 AL MVP award and made 10 All-Star games. He won an AL Gold Glove in 1981 as an outfielder with the A's.
Can you say nasty? I know it was a while ago, the game has changed since then, but I think Henderson can hang with Julio Franco.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"I mean, he admitted that he used steroids," "I mean, there's no gray area. He admitted to cheating on his wife, cheating on his taxes and cheating on the game, so I think the reaction around the league, the game, being what it is, in the case of what people think.

I'm pretty surprised about this comment. But, like he said, everyone has their bad days. If he was in his right frame of mind he wouldn't have said that.
Or would he of?

Bonds' Belts # 745 - Baseball Recap

Barry Bonds is now 10 homeruns away from becoming the Homerun King of Baseball. Foreget the Steroid Scandal, history is being made. There is nothing better than this. Sure he sucks for juicin, but so did everyone else. Give the man respect when its due. He's been smashing them outta the park since day one. Greatest player of all time.

Beckett Proving his Game

Josh Beckett got all the run supported he needed tonite, with Dustin Pedroia, Mike Lowell, Kevin Youkilis, and Jason Varitek belting homeruns to give Boston a 9-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. What a difference this year has been for Beckett, who improves his record to 7-0, compared to last year, when he allowed a career high 36 homeruns last year. Theres a good reason why he's pitching this way, and its because of the run support. When Beckett is on the hill, The Sox have now scored 50 runs,for an average of 9.64 runs per nine innings that is the second-highest in the majors behind the 9.84 afforded Dontrelle Willis of the Florida Marlins. If the Sox can continue this, than Josh Beckett will be the front runner for Cy Young by the All Star Break.

Clemens nervous about the shape he's in

The slob is back on the hill, and says that his throwing arm feels good, however he is skeptical about his shape, according to ESPN.com. What kind of desperation can the Yanks been feeling when they took the chance on this goon? Sure hes one of the best thats ever pitched the game...And my opinion on the subject has obviously changed, because it sickens me everytime I hear about it (see below post on Clemens' return). However he's what-45 yr old or something like that, and now hes been summonsed to save the Yankees from the embarassment of a last place finish this year. Wake up and smell the coffee, Steinbrenner. All of your guys are washed up, Pavano and Messina are useless, and Clemens must weigh atleast 275. What a waste of $28 Million, you idiot.

Mayweather wins Title..But was is it really worth it?

So Mayweather is finally the champ. But was it really worth the $50 bucks? I was hoping and predicting De La Hoya to win the fight, I was a bit disapointed to see De La Hoya missing so many punches. Mayweather completly overpowered him in this category, 207 punches compared to De La Hoya's 122. It's fair to say that Mayweather won the fight fair and square. Now let's wait and see if he really retires. When the money is shown, expect a rematch between them.

Race and the Bonds Chase

ESPN.com has just released a poll that indicates the racial issues surrounding the Bonds' homerun chase are pretty staggering. But who cares.. I'm white, and I want Bonds to break the record just as bad as anyone, I think its time to give the man a break. He has been crushing homeruns since day one, and his other numbers are incredible. By far the best player in my era. Steroids or not, when Bonds crushes that record breaking homerun, Baseball will have a new feel, a new homerun king, and Baseball may be changed forever. The controversies will still arise, however in the end, Bonds may be a bronze statue at the hall. And why not? Who knows how many hall of famers have used steroids, in my opinion, its part of the game. In order to play 160+ games per season, you need to be some sort of physical maniac. That's just what Bonds is, hes over 40 and crushing 450 foot homeruns into the Cove in San Fran. As you can see, im pro Bonds, but for good reason. Start recognizing the feat he is about to accomplish instead of dwelling on the past.
