• Fantasy Baseball: What If the Legends Played the Asterisks?

  Alex RodriguezIf baseball players like South Florida homeboy ARod can use banned substances to gain supernatural powers, it seems only fair that I should be able to call upon supernatural powers to reincarnate a group of the 20th Century's best: players who managed to post their sensational statistics in an era when a "chemical advantage" meant showing up for the game with a beer buzz. Let's put them up against a mighty lineup consisting entirely of modern baseball players whose greatness has be

• Marlins Pitchers Serving Grand Slams Like a Waitress at Denny's

  Flickr User: hazboyRicky NolascoWhat a wretched weekend in South Florida sports. You've heard about the Heat, but what's happened to the Marlins? One month into the baseball season, this team can't decide whether it belongs at the top of the league or at the bottom. A seven-game win streak in mid-April was followed by a seven-game losing streak, then a three-game win streak was followed by a three-game losing streak. On Friday, Graham Taylor was throwing much better than when he got torched by t

• Eats for Under $7: Sonny's Steak Hogies

  I walked into Sonny's Famous Steak Hogie shop in Hollywood around 3 p.m. on a Saturday. I was expecting the place to be empty as not many rational people choose cheese steaks as their midafternoon snack. Sonny's was most certainly not empty. About half of the tables were occupied and a half dozen people waited in line for their takeout orders. This is almost always a promising sign of a restaurant's quality. I made my way to a table in the corner while deeply inhaling the smell of onions frying

  Flickr: askmikeeSure, he looks innocent. But he's ruthless when it comes to thread count in his headwear.​Who to blame for the sudden crisis that has gripped the baseball hat industry, whose condition is mourned in the New York Times? Could it be the performance enhancing drugs that have cut a wide swath through All-Star Game rosters, ruining the game's glamor? Could it be this popular website, which has revealed to baseball cap wearers -- especially those who wear them backward -- the depth o

But Torrealba had been feeling lucky long before he connected on that Cole Hamels pitch. From Sports Illustrated:"When I wake up every morning," Torrealba said, "I say 'Thank God.'

Ultimately, Loria and company decided to give Gonzalez a stay of execution.
