Closer look at Not Ken Rosenthal: Yup, probably BS
Yesterday, when I first saw the tweet from Not Ken Rosenthal that Ryan Braun had been suspended, I quickly threw up this blog post. I was about to be late to class but still wanted to get the news out there before I left. A day later, I have a little more time to look into… Read more »
Not Ken Rosenthal has “very good sources”
So, this little gem appeared on Twitter about a half hour ago, courtesy of “Ken Rosenthal.” BREAKING: #Yankees A-Rod, Cano, Granderson and #Brewers Ryan Bruan will be suspended 50 games for violating #MLB drug policy — Ken RosenthaI (@KenRosenthaI) March 6, 2013 Except, the beloved bow-tie wearing writer actually has an underscore between his first… Read more »
Report: Braun busted?
While I was liveblogging about my new video game, an interesting report started circulating the Internet.

Bobblehead Days: Tampa Bay Rays
In 2011, the Tampa Bay Rays averaged next to last in attendance with under 19,000 per game. That’s unfortunate for a team that always seems to put it together in recent years under Andrew Friedman and Joe Maddon, including an incredible run this past September.
