Mistake Okay but don’t sign a $16 million contract 2 days before you know your name is gonna be on a report on HGH.

Wow, Bill Clinton or Brian, I sure hope nobody in your life ever makes a mistake – I guess they would be dead to you????

I had hoped it wasn’t true about Andy, but, that said, I am very that he just ‘fessed up. It is better that he made his statement rather than have to read the endless speculation.

Jennifer –

I am glad I am not the only one who, in reading the report, felt he/she was reading the same thing more than once and sometimes even more than twice.

Also, there’s an awful lot of reference to previously published works (Game of Shadows, Juiced, and newspaper reports, for instance). All are properly footnoted, it should be noted.

Maybe more players will speak up for themselves and we’ll be able to separate the wheat from the chaff a little better, because right now, the report, or the list of names, makes it seem like everyone is equal in their use of PEDs.

In addition to the fact that I’m a Phillies fan, so you can stop with the Red Sox obsession. I’m not bringing that to the argument, but rather, until two days ago, I was one of the biggest Pettitte fans around. Clemens I always suspected anyhow, and to be honest when Grimsley came out, I really believed Pettite’s denial, and now I feel more like a fool than before. It’s not the HGH that is the bad part, it’s the forced apology now. It’s spineless.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to the blog to respond. The answer is, yes, any talks involving Cain and Lincecum are dead. Brian Sabean said he won’t entertain offers for either and said he wasn’t actively shopping them before. Said Sabean: “We know the value of both individuals, believe me, and maybe more so after we’ve gone through this exercise. These might be the hottest two names in baseball.”

Speculate all you like, but I’m telling you the Yankees aren’t getting either Cain or Lincecum.

I really have no more complaints about players using HGH than I do with them getting cortizone shots for injuries, only. The one thing I would change would be that the injuries be verified by at least two doctors in each major league city that are contracted by MLB and not by team doctors and especially not by trainers. MLB is informed of said injuries, the player must then be put on the 15 or 60 day DL. This would eliminate the abuse by getting shots inbetween starts that would promote in between start healing (which may affect or increase pitching performance). Players would also be required to sign a waiver that permits the taking of blood to be tested.

Cortizone shots may be administered by team doctors and not trainers, but, still must be approved by MLB.

“I donâ€™t necessarily think that Sox fans are gloating, but rather the rest of baseball. And Earth.”

Have you ever been to another country? Everyone is wearing Yanks hats, not Sox hats, Cubs hats, or anything else.

No wet dream you have about the crumbling yankees will make it true. We still have 4 times the championships of the Socks.
