Even though I don’t want to know the “shadows” of the game, I found myself so fascinated by what MLBers get caught for HGH and the juice.

It is a shame that Mark Ellis was robbed of the Gold Glove this year.
Sadly webgems do have more of an influence on this award than any other in baseball, even among managers.

I believe the A’s need to continue to play for now and push off another rebuilding effort.

Did Suzuki provide enough offense in the 2nd half,
to warrant a starting position in 2008? I don’t think so. Should the team stay patient with Crosby? I say yes, as long as Scutaro is on the roster.

He’s the best second baseman in the game today, but his less than flashy demeanor, which I love, isn’t suited to getting the attention of the Baseball Tonight crew. They do enjoy their “O-Dog” in AZ, and though it’s a great thing to go through a year without making an error, like you say, Ellis makes the difficult seem routine and the impossible simply difficult. Plus, as I remember, there was a error on Polanco that was changed in order to keep the streak alive. And as those stats show, Ellis only made 5 errors in over 120 more chances. That is far more impressive to me, he played more games, more innnings, argh! It’s just an insult really. I love Ellis and he’s exactly the type of player that I’d tell my son to emulate. He deserves the recognition.
