Steroid Fatigue



Just another day of crappy Northern weather in February, so would you like to focus on baseball? Spring Training, beautiful weather, hope eternal, blah, blah. Well good luck with that- instead there is nothing but steroid talk. And I, for one, am sick of it. 5 of the top 7 baseball stories on ESPN.com are steroid-related. No new revelations, mind you. Just more of the names Canseco, Tejada, Clemens, and A-Rod. The world we live in rehashes everything over and over again, but I will try to avoid this on this blog, unless something new comes to light.

So here's some of what you should be hearing about:

- The World Baseball Classic Deux is gearing up, and while names are dropping out, it should be an exciting tournament all around. Pool C looks the most promising, with the US, Canada and Venezuela all sporting solid teams (sorry, Italy, but looks like you're the odd team out).

- Indians, White Sox, and Dodgers all have new digs in Arizona, and word so far has been positive. Let's see if the intimacy of Dodgertown carries across the country. My bet is it will not.

- The Nats are having drama very early. Ryan Zimmerman denying problems with the team, Odalis Perez no-showing for camp. Don't you actually have to be a good team to have these type of problems?

What kind of problem's is my Ryan having with the team? I haven't heard about this. Poor Nats. They are doomed to suck for quite some time. The least they could all do is get along.
