Last night was Monday July the 13th. We managed to have a night where seven of the
best home run hitters in baseball and Brandon Inge got together in an attempt to put on a power display where batting practice pitchers grooved balls at 70—75 MPH and in turn the likes of Pujols, Fielder, Cruz, and Howard deposited them deep into the St. Louis sky.
None of these performances was close to those put on in the past by the likes of Abreu, McGwire, or Sosa during the steroid era.
Can I ask why baseball is the only sport with a steroid era? ...

Adenhart, Gatti, McNair and Tyson: A Tough Year For Sports Fans in 2009
On July - 14 - 2009
This year has been undoubtedly tough for athletes and sports fans around the United States. With July coming to an end in the next couple of weeks, we have just passed the half-way point for the year and tragedy has struck the lives of millions.
Although we could go into many different cases, and believe me it was very tough to narrow them down, three stick out in my mind as being tragic cases that could have been prevented.
The deaths of Anaheim Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart, professional boxer and former champion Arturo Gatti and retired NFL ...

I never typically write on subjects like this. Even as I'm writing this, I feel like I shouldn't be.
Just stick with me, though.
There are two types of writers here at our beloved Bleacher Report.
There is the type that loves themselves, sees zero holes in their writing, and solely writes for the purpose of winning the cherished and honorable "Article Of The Day."

Corporate Media Still Doesn’t Get It
On July - 13 - 2009
It's the same flawed argument over and over again; the Internet is killing print media. Talking heads on TV, voices on the radio, and even articles in the dying print media—it's always the same pity party.
While the Internet is no doubt killing sales of newspapers and magazines, the pundits still don't know why—even though they think they do.
