Droppin

Its not too often you will see me post something about baseball on Droppin.com unless it involves the Yankees (and no I refuse to discuss the debacle that was the Red Sox series last weekend.  Lets just say I never thought I would feel scared to see Rivera enter the game but I’m actually to that point now.  Lets not talk about this anymore its too depressing) but I feel like I just have to comment on the strange resurgence we are seeing this season from the likes of Sosa & Bonds.  I think everyone expected Bonds to hang around long enough to squeak out the last few home runs needed to get the record but did anyone expect he would do it like he is?  Is 40 or 50 home runs unthinkable for him this season?  Better question would that wash away any of the steroid haze surrounding this?  And Sosa, talked about your washed up has beens but the guy is going out and proving everyone wrong.  It’s like they each found some new undetectable substance that has allowed them to play at the level of their former greatness again.  Wonder when McGuire and Canseco are coming back.  Errr I mean….

While we are on the subject of baseball, can anyone tell me why it is that pitchers are dropping like flies in baseball these days.  I don’t think I have seen a day go by yet this season that someone wasn’t getting put on the DL or having season ending surgery for some arm ailment.  I don’t ever recall this happening as much in my youth.  Freakin Nolan Ryan was out there throwing the heat till he was old enough to collect social security and yet we have guys with their arms falling off now at the age of 28.  Are these guys just wussies or what?  I have always thought baseball injuries were strange.  You would never see an NFL guy sit out a game with some of the ailments that bother these guys and they sit or stand without moving nearly all game.  Maybe I just don’t get it…
