If a mythical list detailing the top scumbags in pro sports actually existed, Jose Canseco would likely rank somewhere in the top five. I never read Juiced, but even if the majority of his allegations ended up being true, it doesn’t mean the book deserved a sequel. As Phil Taylor says in his excellent column [...]

I’ve been thinking about the Tejada trade all morning since the news broke.
I’m not sure I like it. Richard Justice says that Houston will fall in love with Miggy, and that might be the case. He’s a guy with an oversized personality who will fit in perfectly with clowns like Carlos and Berkman, and his [...]
