This just ran across the ESPN News scroll...

"A source close to a former Yankees strength trainer tells ESPN The Magazine's Shawn Assael that the trainer told Mitchell investigators he supplied Roger Clemens with steroids; information supplied by this trainer is in the Mitchell report. According to one industry official who spoke to [the] Bergen Record, 'several' prominent Yankees will be named in the Mitchell report."

>>Eric Gagne

That stuff didn’t help him much this year with Boston.

[Holicheese]

Yea, I saw Trot Nixon coming. So many injuries.
I was never a huge Trot fan.

Ken Caminiti:

>>Kenneth Gene Caminiti (April 21, 1963 – October 10, 2004) was an American third baseman in Major League Baseball. He was born in Hanford, California, and attended San Jose State University. He died of a drug overdose-induced heart attack on October 10, 2004.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Caminiti

>>Caminiti struggled with substance abuse throughout his career. He admitted in 1994 to having a problem with alcohol and checked himself into a rehabilitation center in 2000. In a Sports Illustrated cover story in 2002, a year after his retirement, he admitted that he had used steroids during his MVP 1996 season, and for several seasons afterwards.[1]. It was the first public admission of steroid use by any professional baseball player. Caminiti’s announcement sent shockwaves through the sport: players became recalcitrant at being exposed, and reporters were embarrassed that no one had bothered, in the post-strike era when home runs exploded, to suspect steroid use by the players. Caminiti’s revelation contributed to Congressional inquiries and a league-wide steroids scandal.

A clear incident of Roid Rage:

>>Rich Garces

gasp...sob...oh no! not el Guapo too!

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Varitek . . . ut oh.

Rich Garces? Boy, those things backfired for sure. Say it ain't so, El Guapo!

[Hemingway's Ghost]

This, too---Jose Offerman losing his sh*t in a minor league game last year (I believe):

[RDTF]

Milton Bradley?

[romanesq]

Speculate all you want but I’m going with Petitte not being on the list.

Of course we know that Nomar and others from the Red Sox could possibly be nailed with the steroid tag.

They were smart enough to go with HGH.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Milton Bradley?

Nope---Jose 0-4man.

One of the guys Dan Duquette brought in to replace Mo Vaughn's on base percentage.

[montag813]

This is all so hilarious. Every lineman in the NFL does steroids and nobody cares. Also rampant in hockey. Only in baseball does everyone get so bent out of shape over it.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Of course we know that Nomar and others from the Red Sox could possibly be nailed with the steroid tag.

Not only Gnomar, but Dante Bichette, Jeremy Giambi, Johnny Damon, Rich Garces, Trot Nixon, Julian Tavarez, and Jason Varitek.

Quite frankly, as long as my binkies, Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, are not on that list, I'm shedding no tears.

[montag813]

Pettitte to human growth hormone.

HGH is not a steroid. It is very useful in healing from injuries and thousands of MDs nationwide prescribe it for their (non-athlete) patients every single day. Women need growth hormones as well, to help ward off Lupus, MS and other ailments of menopause. To castigate ball players for using HGH is just silly. Everyone who needs it should be able to use it.

A-Rod appears to be clean. Finally, a clean superstar.

[ilgipper]

"It's going to be a rough day in the Bronx," the paper quoted the source as saying.

Sucks when the head of the investigation is also on the Board of Directors of the Red Sox. If any recent Sox stars are not named, this report will immediately be considered rubbish by most fans.

[tx_eggman]

By that I think you mean, "show me a power pitcher who did not become a finesse pitcher soon after turning 40." There aren't many

Nope, not many ... but their king is:

[Hemingway's Ghost]

To castigate ball players for using HGH is just silly. Everyone who needs it should be able to use it.

It must have some bad ju-ju, though, because the NFL slapped Rodney Harrison with a four-game suspension at the beginning of the year because he tested positive for it. And he was coming back from a massive knee injury the season before.

[cripplecreek]

Neifi Perez disappeared from the Tigers line up before the halfway point of the season. They said he was suspended for unapproved stimulant use.

Sheffield was just plain useless all season.

Pudge was just plain average at best

The tigers can afford to lose all 3 without missing them aside from Pudge behind the plate.
