Week 10 of the baseball season gave us many great moments, but none greater than the debut of Washington Nationals’ pitcher, Stephen Strasburg. Future Hall of Fame catcher Ivan ‘Pudge’ Rodriguez was quoted in an article on ESPN giving Strasburg this compliment: “I’ve been catching a lot of guys, but this kid is unbelievable.” The Cincinnati Reds had a down week losing 4 of 7 and still managed to increase their lead on the NL Central. The Philadelphia Phillies continue to sink in the NL East and now trail the Atlanta Braves by 3.5 games. After losing 12–2 and 10–2…

The World Cup — also known as the world’s largest sporting event – opened in South Africa on June 11th. However, the major action started on Saturday the 12th, when England played the United States. It was probably the most hyped match in recent memory — so hyped that Adidas was running ads asking fans to “pledge” to watch the match. I didn’t pledge to watch it — I just watched it. England — which possesses the English Premier League and many of the world’s best players — should have had the Americans over-matched. However, the game was a 1-1…

Authorities could strike oil as they dig deeper and deeper into the allegations that Roger Clemens used steroids during his pitching career. The veteran of the mound is accused of paying Brian McNamee, a New York personal trainer, for training services and performance-enhancing drugs. What’s worse, the money is said to have come from Roger Clemens’ nonprofit organization.  McNamee reported to authorities that he received payments from the Roger Clemens foundation from 1998-2001.  Rusty Hardin, Clemens lawyer, has spent the last two years attempting to discredit McNamee. Hardin commented on the foundation payments, “Obviously, Roger never paid him for any…

Summer is here and it’s the best time of year to search for love. Whether you’re looking for a passionate night of panty tossing or the fire of a lifetime, you need to prepare your body. One potential place to find love is the beach. This summer men and women will spend countless hours splashing in the water, tanning and surveying their peers. What is it that the opposite sex is looking for? Let’s just say the odds of a girl saying to her friends, “OMG, is he reading Catcher in the Rye,” is highly unlikely. I don’t believe, in the…

A few months ago, when it was still cold and snowy outside, I wrote on how to stay safe exercising in cold weather. Now that it looks like we’re going to have record-breaking heat this summer, we need to talk about exercising when it’s hot. Last summer my favorite thing to do was hit the road as soon as the sun came up and put in five or six miles. When I’d stop an hour later, you could see the steam rising off of my skin as I did my cool-down stretches. It was heaven. The same weather considerations have…

I know many of you on SteroidsLive are trying to “bulk up,” but I had no idea that college football was getting in on the trend! This “workout” involves Colorado’s announcement that they are accepting an invitation to join the Pac-10. There are 5 other schools in the Big 12 that are also rumored targets of the Pac-10: Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. When Scott was asked about the  five-school group from the Big-12 South Division, he replied, “There are no assurances. No invitations have been issued.” However, now we’re left to wonder. Is the Pac…

So Kalpa Pharmaceuticals came to me about testing a new product and since they know I LOVE Primoxyl , he wanted to come to me since I have a lot of experience with this compound. I liked the idea, but thought if it was such a great idea , why isn’t it more wide spread. At the same time I also know TPP is very effective , and yet not very wide spread. With this I made it into a project, I took measurements and the weight of the guinea pig, myself. What I noticed first was the extra water…

Manny Ramirez and Barry Bonds are two of the best hitters in Major League Baseball, from my generation. What do these two men have in common? Ramirez tested positive for a banned substance linked to steroid use, and Bonds is facing an allegation of steroid use. In 2008, Ramirez was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Los Angeles Dodgers and put together the best 53-game stretch I have ever witnessed. With this performance, Ramirez claimed the hearts of Dodger fans (dedicated a section of seating called MannyWood). On May 7, 2009, the League announced Ramirez tested positive for…

Another great week around the diamond — this time with a retiring legend, a successful walk-off celebration and the blown call of a lifetime. Many feel baseball remains a great game because of its long-standing traditions and history. These are the same people who feel the human element of umpires is the way to go over technology and video replay, especially in certain cases. It was interesting listening to baseball purists defend their stance when umpire Jim Joyce blew a call that cost Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game. Joyce admitted he blew the call as soon as…

I love stirring the pot — it’s this little thing I do. So, when considering how to wind up the end of the NBA season I couldn’t just give awards. Everyone gives out awards. No, I wanted to recognize the mediocrity and failures in the NBA. So often we take up all our time annointing the Most Valuable Player, but what about the Least Valuable Player? Some guys — Kobe, Tim Duncan, Chauncey — were meant for success. Others were not. Some guys can make an impact — Kendrick Perkins, Leandro Barbosa, Derek Fisher. Others cannot. Today we honor those…
