Phew! ok i know ive been gone for awhile but im back now! Ok so personal update: My baby niece Elena will be here in a matter of hours excited for that cant wait.
So much has been going on idk if I can cover anything so bear with me:
First off Shaq goes to the Cavs: I think this was the best move for both teams, For the Suns it was no doubt that the Shaq deal was a bust, there are now clearly headed towards rebuilding the franchise (which i proposed back in the beginning in the year...take a look HERE) For the Cavs, its obvious the front office is trying to show King James that there are willing to improve the team for his benefit. This may be a last ditch attempt to keep LeBron from heading farther east....perhaps the Big Apple in his future?? I guess it depends how this Shaq trade works out...
Staying with the NBA, of course the draft was tonight...shout out to Arizona products James Harden and Jordan Hill going in the top 10 respectively.
On a sad note R.I.P. to the King of pop Michael Jackson, no matter what you thought or felt about him, his style was revolutionary and the world has lost a legend.
I think that's all I got for now ill update again tomorrow.

Say it aint So-sa
Ahhh the great feeling of sleeping in. I woke up to espn.com where the top story is on former all-star Sammy Sosa who tested positve for performing enhancing drugs in 2003. I guess I have good timimg with my first article. But as if there was any doubt that Mr. Sosa hadn't been cheating when he and Mark Mcgwire went on a home run tear in 98. Let us not forget that he did deny the use of steriods under oath in front of congress, pending perjury charge maybe?
The beginning

SO why you wont see me cry anout person woes, but Iwill keep a personal touch to show those following i am human lol so as I figure out this whole "blogging" thing bear with me and brace yourself lol.
MLB: Major League Issues
With Baseball back in full swing, fans have come out in force to hear the crack of the bats and the smell of the freshly-cut grass. Gloves on, fans are seemingly excited to embrace this upcoming season. Am I the only one who sees the large black cloud looming over the trouble-ridden MLB?
Commissioner Bud Selig's tenure, which is known as the "steroid era" has drastically changed the view of America's pastime. We've seen the downfall of baseball's most renowned players: the all-time homerun leader in Barry Bonds, a future Hall of Fame pitcher in Roger Clemens, and even New York's golden boy Alex Rodriguez.
However fans seemed to have forgotten the recent turmoil the game of baseball has faced in the past almost as if they've just accepted it as the norm.
Steroids were once the outrage of sports; now it seems as if they are as much a part of the game as strikeouts and homeruns.
Imagine being a rising star spending countless hours in the gym and on the field to improve your game, only to be accused of cheating. I doubt that there will be another great player in the MLB who is not accused, if he's not already using them, of using performance-enhancing drugs.
I know it sounds a cliché but these players are role models for thousands of teens and children alike. I remember watching bits and pieces of the Little League World Series and I could estimate about half of the kids named a player in the MLB who has been taking performance-enhancing drugs as their favorite athlete. Think that's sending the right message? I doubt it.
So here's my solution to begin the repair of Major League Baseball. Everyone, no matter what your status, come forward. Whether you confess or you are accused, your reputation will be tarnished. Admitting fault and accepting responsibility is the only way to slowly rebuilding your character. No more Congressional hearings, which only result in pending perjury cases for those who've who lied under oath. Once everyone comes forward only then can baseball begin to rebuild its legendary status.
If fans continue to accept and ignore the steroid issues, they will only continue to worsen. Everyone makes mistakes or decisions that they regret. The key is owning up to them and its time for Major League Baseball to step up to the plate.
