Remember '08?
In my continuing effort to show how sophisticated I am, I'd like to quote the French poet Paul Valery: "The trouble with our times," he said, "is that the future is not what it used to be." Never mind that he uttered that cynical little gem several...Tags: Pamela Anderson, Tara Reid, Multi-Sport Events, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots

Gibbons' admission of hGH use smacks of hypocrisy
Presumably, any day now George Mitchell will release a scathing report on steroids in baseball that will either eternally restore our faith in the national pastime or shock us all into moving to Ottawa and becoming NHL fans. But there's a slight problem...Tags: Basketball, Rafael Palmeiro, National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, Jay Gibbons

Schmuck: Ripken joy is a respite amid list of scandals
Orioles president Andy MacPhail has always looked young for his age, but don't mistake that for being short on perspective.

McGwire might not mind being skipped in Hall's order
Sometime in the early afternoon on Tuesday, Cal Ripken will pick up the phone in Baltimore and Tony Gwynn will pick up the phone in San Diego, and it won't be to make a bet on the AFC championship game. Each will be informed of his impending induction...Tags: Cal Ripken, Elections, Upper House, Political Candidates, Parliament

Schmuck: With glow, hope for a brighter day
Soon after Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. overcame their fear of public speaking, somebody tried to usher them back into the sad reality of sports in today's society. The question - delivered at the Hall of Fame's post-induction news conference - was...Tags: ESPN (tv network), Hank Aaron, Cal Ripken, Jr., Baseball, Michael Vick

Baseball's hallowed ground no shelter from steroid talk
Cal Ripken Jr. seemed to enjoy his orientation trip to upstate New York this week, but even in the idyllic small-town setting of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, he could not escape the big-city questions about the troubling state of the game. The...Tags: Eddie Murray, Memorial Stadium, Hank Aaron, Cal Ripken, Jr., Baseball

B. Robinson: Don't give McGwire Hall pass
Brooks Robinson is expecting a record crowd to converge on Cooperstown, N.Y., in July to watch Cal Ripken Jr. join the game's immortals in the Hall of Fame.

Maese: In Cooperstown, today can never be Bonds' day
Here, in the one place charged with immortalizing baseball's feats and achievements, the biggest record of them all doesn't seem to exist this weekend.

Steroid era lessens achievements of sluggers like Ramirez, Robinson
If you were not paying close attention, you probably missed much of the countdown to Manny Ramirez's imminent entry into the once-exclusive 500 Home Run Club.

Clemens belongs next to Bonds in hall of shame
Their names should be forever linked. Bonds and Clemens. Baseball's Bonnie and Clyde. Barnstorming American cities, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens robbed fans, plundered our pastime and cheated their fellow ballplayers, both past and present.
In time, I...Tags: Jose Canseco, ESPN (tv network), Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins, Periodicals
