Dirtlocker points for: Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Brian Cashman

We begin to find out today just how much impact Andy Pettitte's situation, his admission of HGH usage and Congressional testimony against Roger Clemens, will affect the New York Yankees.

Likely they will be the focu...

Most all of the San Francisco Giants' 40-man roster had arrived in camp Monday, with the first full squad workout of the spring scheduled for Tuesday morning.

I wrote this piece in September, changed a few things, commented on others: As we look at the end of the Minnesota Twins' 2007 season, there are some bright spots that we hope will carry over. Some things are near locks such as Jason Kubel's strong finish has probably assured him the 2008

There's a belief in some league circles that no quarterbacks will be among the first 20 players selected in the 2008 draft. The top two quarterbacks on the board are, for now, Brian Brohm of Louisville and Matt Ryan of Boston College. But Brohm isn't regarded as having much arm strength and Ryan is thought to [...]

Dirtlocker points for: Brian Cashman

Yes, Brian De Los Santos had a real race to go on for his latest NASCAR Power Rankings. But he says history shows Daytona can be a poor indicator of things to come, so don't look for big changes until California is in the books.

Andy Pettitte probably didn't prove anything or change anyone's mind Monday afternoon. I also think this public nightmare is a long way from being over for Pettitte. If Roger Clemens continues to push his charade and winds up in court, Pettitte will be forced to tell the entire sordid story again. I believe Pettitte was sincere Monday. [...]
