Friday Reading Material

Haven't done one of these in a while.  It's time for some Friday Reading Material.

David Pinto tries to determine whether David Ortiz has a shot at Roger Maris's single season home run mark.  Why is this relevant?  Maris's 61 home runs have been topped six times by the likes of Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa.  It's just that Ortiz has managed to stay above any steroid controversy and the other three haven't.

Speaking of which, check out SteroidList.com.  I discovered this last week and it's well done.

Walt Jocketty has blamed everyone but himself for the current group of Cardinals.

Fire Joe Morgan skewers a particularly idiotic column.  Good times.

Why didn't I think of this?

The Fire Joe Morgan guy is my new hero.

No one, especially Ortiz, is above suspicion. Heck, performance-wise, Ortiz is the most suspicious looking player out there. He goes from a mediocre talent to an even bulkier super-hero in the course of a couple of seasons, and we're supposed to believe its his batting coach?
