Andy should get his money back.

It was just announced on the 12:00 news.

Your comment on Andy made me laugh.

Mitchell's press conference was at noon Eastern time - the commissioner's press conference is at 4:30 (IIRC).

Steroids are just the "greenies" of this '90's and '00's. Lots of players used them, and no one talked about it. There will ALWAYS be players who seek the edge they need to win, consequences be damned. Besides, sports figures aren't role models. Didn't Charles Barkley tell you that? :roll:

I'd put down money that there are already enhancement substances being used in baseball that are not banned and are currently undetectable or just not being tested. And as long as the fans keep coming or unless Congress intervenes, the owners and their lapdog commissioner (does his title mean he works on commission paid by the owners?) will keep looking the other way.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Heard a comedian the other day:

Major league baseball is testing for greenies. Just what we needed: something to slow the game down more...

The Pirates only have one guy on the list.

"Some" thinks he is funny.

I checked, no Mark Grace, so the rest of them I'm not surprised. As few home runs as he hit, he was not a suspect.

I gave up on Sammy Sosa a while back. I'm glad he got off the juice and came back, but he was not honest, which broke my heart.

Wow! When did all this stuff happen?

I send my good friend George out to dig up more dirt on Barry Bonds, and he writes a damn doctoral thesis! Now I have even more stuff to deny and disavow... :evil:

They're gonna say that they took the stuff to recover more quickly from an injury (or injuries). Not to get stronger. Blah, blah, blah.


If they admit it at all.

The missed Jeff Bagwell.

That's wonderful if he was clean. But he sure shrank in size after all the steroid scrutiny began.

I'm suspicious. But I still like him.

I have seen no mention of him - and I have the report and can't find him in a search.

He was mentioned as being listed on a news break-in in the hours before the report officially came out. Erroniously, it appears...
