i hate gagne. i think this evidence should be enough to deport him. thank goodness he is no longer on the sox.

i was sad to see clemens and mo vaughn, tho obviously not surprised but i LOVED them growing up.

When he was on the Dodgers, he was unstoppable.

Tip o the iceberg. So many players are not named and we will never know them all. Unfortunately, what’s done is done and we need to move on to a better baseball with better drug policies.

I do love that Clemens will finally get his. And I guess Pettitte injected with more than just a higher power. Credit to GoPats for the link.

If better drug policies are implemented and effective, I think it will be interesting to see how baseball changes and how the fans react to a game with a little less punch.

I don’t know too much about baseball, but I do remember my father, a huge Os fan, marveling at Anderson’s remarkable year in 1996. If he could see it–a blindly loyal fan–I don’t see how others cannot.

this is a good essay on the report:

i do want to kick lo duca in the nuts for not being the guy i thought he was… clemens isn’t a shock even to a pollyanna like me. and there are so many guys who didn’t get caught, you have to think.

i’m no less enamored of the game because it seems designed for resilience. at least, i think it is

Actually, I don’t agree with a lot of what that says. We’ll have to discuss it tomorrow night.

The ESPN talking heads were breaking it down for an eternity yesterday, but the only thing I really got out of it is essentially that most of the sources were central to NY and the west coast, but there is so much more in between. I imagine that Brady Anderson wasn’t included because they just haven’t gotten to him yet.

Blue, you’re my boy!

I can’t believe Major Leaguers were so confident they would never be tested or suspected that they wrote personal checks. Unreal.

As a Met fan I did like LoDuca. One of the few ballplayers that speaks his mind. And he dates hot chicks.

I forgot to mention his dating history. You’re right, even though you’re a Mets fan.

I agree with Baby Bien about Brady “I can’t go a half inning without adjusting my cup” Anderson. The purpose of this report was not to root out every player that ever did an illegal substance. That would take too long. The purpose was to see how widespread drugs are in baseball. Surprise, surprise, they’re everywhere. I thought it was kind of funny/sad that 12 of the players listed all played for the Orioles at one point.

rs27: You have to remember that steroids weren’t actually tested for until 2002. The report goes much further back than that. There’s no reason many of those players had to think they would have been caught. Also, just seeing the number of players that have been caught since testing started…none of these guys think they’re going to caught, ever.

marty never got beat up by biff.

Once again, you are wrong. He and his cohorts beat him up when they yank him out of the car after he’s unable to make the moves on his moms.

I was relieved to see none of my boyhood heroes on the list, but like people have said, this is the tip of the iceberg. Baseball will be better because of the report. That’s about all I know.

I hate manure.

they don’t beat him up. biff drags him out, throws him to his goons, and billy zane and company put him in the trunk of a car. that’s not getting beat up, techincally.

Potato, puhtahto. If you did that to me, you’d tell people you beat me up. Am I right?

remember when knobloch had the yips? god that was funny. and i say this as a yankees fan. he’d throw to first and the ball would just squib along the ground. hilarity!

one thing the roids scandal has ensured — there will be no more comparisons of modern baseball to anything the greats of the past accomplished. sorry mcgwire, bonds — you are no babe ruth.

now i don’t have a problem with legalizing steroids. i mean, there’s a reason clemens was able to keep pitching at age 40. steroids really will turn back the clock for men. and there are different classes of the hormone — some are safer to take than others. but if we’re gonna go down that road then we need to establish two eras of baseball — pre-juice and post-juice.

I do, it reminded me of Steve Sax’s own throwing problems.

At the 99 ALCS at Fenway, the entire first base side would duck and scream everytime Knoblauch threw to first. Hilarious.
Didn’t he also hit Keith Olberman’s mom with a ball in the stands?
