The Feds still can’t find Chuck Knoblauch to give him his subpoena from Congress.
This blog has a lot of readers, so I say we help the government out. As you’re enjoying the weekend, keep an eye out for Knoblauch. I’ll monitor the BBWAA dinner on Sunday in case he shows up there.
Blog operatives were able to obtain this photograph of Knoblauch using a pay phone in Chicago. It is believed he was calling either Roger Clemens or Keith Olbermann’s mother.
————
Hank Steinbrenner gave an extended interview to the AP and mentioned that he wants to buy a soccer team.
Why in the heck would you want to help out the government in this stupid probe? I’m on Chuck’s side. I’ll even hide him in my house!
So, our man Hank’s running his yap again- he’ll be patient,he says, but if they miss the playoffs…
…….
can’t. stop. laughing.
Chuckie’s mom says he’s on vacation (nicely timed, eh?), but he didn’t tell her where (and she’s wouldn’t ‘fess up anyway).
But she’s sure her boy will do the right thing.
But from some of the remarks she made in this NY Times article, she must not be reading the Houston Chronicle. She’s “puzzled” as to why Chuckie must appear before Congress, “he hasn’t done anything wrong”.
Obviously, then, he has nothing to fear…
Sadly, the day will come when a subpoena via e-mail or text message will be considered “served”.
(personally, I kinda think it’s funny, Pete, that you posted your “Run, Chuckie, Run” at 6:36 PM, and I was able to respond with updated information by 6:43 PM….)
Joe….
I’m with you! If Chuck has to leave your place, you can send him to Wisconsin, although it’s been way below zero here, so he may pass!
I don’t think so, mel. What if a subpoena via e-mail gets dumped in somebody’s junk file and the junk file is deleted without looking? And who’s going to want the ENTIRE text of a subpoena on their cellphone/BlackBerry? Talk about clogging up the archives.
G.R., I think Chuckie is as far away from minus-zero temperatures as he can get. Aruba, anyone? (just guessing)
I think he’ll be returning to the USA, though, he won’t have to be extradited
He has a wife and mom in Houston, after all. And it’s not like he’s going to be arrested. They just want his testimony.
this chuck thing is a little wierd. About 2 weeks ago he told the NY Times that he hadnt been notified that his testimony was requested but the times said that the comittee had his email addy and phone # and had sent several notices. Now he’s on ‘vacation’ when he knows they want him and they are looking for him. I know he says he wants to leave baseball behind him but what is it he’s so afraid of. Seems like hiding is just making his involvment more noticable.
Where in the world is Ol’ Chucky Knoblauch? There should be a game show/educational computer game.
It’d be funny if he’s playing a little hide and seek. That’s embarrassing for the Feds. Almost as embarassing as the whole Congressional investigation.
Too bad they don’t have America’s Most Wanted or Dog the Bounty Hunter anymore. They’d find him within hours. lol.
if they just scan all the pics on youtube, he’s probably in the background somewhere. we all are.
happy 90th birthday to Ernie Harwell! LOVE that guy!
Did anyone look in the Randy Moss mask fro for Chuck?
Tottenham?! Tottenham isn’t even in the Top 10 in the Premiere League standings right now!
GO MAN U!
Another Red Devils fan! Rebecca FTW!
Run chuck run!!
Here is a new picture of what Chucky looks like

This puts me in mind of another song for you, Pete.
“I Fought the Law,” by The Clash.
It’s the old standard, but they put more energy into it than they did even with “Police on my Back.”
Does anyone think Olbermann’s mother ducked when she answered the phone and heard, “Hi Mrs. Olbermann it’s Chuckie Knoblauch from 2B at the Stadium. Remember me!?”
Twins are spending money like it’s going out of style!
6yr/$80M for Morneau and 3yr/$23M for Cuddyer.
Morneau’s contract is the largest ever for the Twins. Makes the Yankees look cheap.
So why not spend the money on your ace?
Chuck’s on vacation and everyone thinks he’s a fugitive. But seriously, run Chuck run!
I couldn’t stop laughing when I first heard this story about Chuck Knoblauch. All I’ve got to say is this…
Run Chuckie Run
LOL
Quotes I found interesting.
There is enough pressure on Joe et al without Hank saying so.
OK. Who here still thinks of this Chucky when they hear that name?

Hah, next thing I know, you’ll be telling me you have a soft spot for swords as well…
mel you know what they say, Great minds.
check out my post at 7:52
Jennifer,
See, that’s how out of touch Hank is with his fan base. The fans won’t turn on the young kids. They turn on the front office when they spend $$$ on guys who can’t handle New York.
The fans want to watch the kids grow up, growing pains and all.
Jennifer,
lol. I don’t know what’s scarier, Chucky or clowns.
Jennifer-
The Twinkies did offer Johan 4 for $80M.
Rebecca-
Swords you say? …Go on…
I could never watch that movie, I watched poltergeist though, that movie scared the you know what out of me. I hate scary movies.
Buddy, true, I don’t know. I’d rather him stay there.
Unless we can trade the Duncan’s for him. 
Hank gave a 20 minute interview to my brother the other day…. just call him up, he’s not busy I swear
The scariest scene ever was the opening scene of the original Aliens. Another one is when the person got snatched outside the cottage in the Forgotten.
I think the “scariest” movie i’ve watched, (now don’t fall off your chair laughing) is Signs, or 6th sense.
I HATE scary movies. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE.
Like, I will sit through game 7 2004 ALCS before I sit through a horror movie.
So that gives you some idea, how much I hate…
Rebecca – I thought that game was cancelled?
Actually, the scariest thing I’ve heard lately is that Cash might leave. Say what you might, and I know he has his detractors, but I think he’s done a really good job. And I think he’s put up with a lot more medling from George and Tampa faction in past years than he’s putting up with from Hank now. Now that he has his man in Joe G., it will be interesting to see how things play out.
You guys are too young, but the scariest movie EVER was a documentary about Nostradamus. He predicted all these things that came true. He also predicted WWIII would be caused by a crazy man from the Middle East wearing a blue turban. (I don’t know why I remember that detail-it’s been almost 30 years).
Another scary movie was the Seventh Sign (1988).
I remember seeing The Exorcist when it came out on HBO back in the late 70′s I was home alone that night about 14 years old (my parents out for the evening) I didn’t shake that one off until I was about 35.
The original Omen. Saw it on a date. I have never ever seen another scary movie since.
I also saw a documentary on Nostradamus and read the book. It sends chills up and down your spine. I’ve been told to take the “predictions” with a grain of salt, though, and so I try to ignore any of the updates on tv these days. You know what? It doesn’t make it any better if you know ahead of time.
Hank – well, I guess he has to say they have to win, right? I mean, would you want an owner who says, well, as long as they show up and play hard I’ll be happy. “I” can say that – the owner can’t.
Poor Chuck. (Chuckie is a whole different entity!)
Norm -
I was not allowed to see the Exorcist when it came out. But I did read the book. I can’t imagine the movie being much worse!
Doreen-
In retrospect I almost wish they had the V-Chip back then.
Have you all heard the one where the world’s supposed to end in 2012?
Would anybody in Hollywood be brave enough to combine clowns and Chucky?
Or Burger King’s mascot and Chucky…
I remember reading Nostradamus in high school. Everyone said “not a chance”. Of course that was in the 50s. Some stuff…if you stretch it a little…has come true. I remember being told (1949) that the world would end in “1960″. Obviously wrong. Grain of salt, ya!
Don’t forget that Nostradamus fired off a ton of these so-called prophecies anyway
Pretty low accuracy rate, if I remember correctly
The 2012 thing doesn’t bother me. It operates on two
premises; first being that the gods decided that this latest attempt at world creation was a failure, second being that the amount of time it took for them to get around to scrapping this world is exactly the same amount of time as the previous. Suppposedly, they scrapped attempt #3 (we are living in world creation attempt #4 apparently) around the end of baktun #12 or beginning of baktun #13 (or about 5126 years, give or take a couple). Given that the world’s a lot older than 5126 years….yea, I don’t put much stock into this one.
Let’s put this in perspective.
Chuck Knoblauch is “running” from that slug George Mitchell and a Congressional committee which has done nothing useful since… well, ever.
Chuck should just stay “on vacation” until after these hearings are scheduled.
This is nothing but a witch hunt and an opportunity for politicians to score some publicity.
The country is at war, recession is looming, foreclosures are at a record high. Congress hasn’t passed the budget that was due last OCTOBER, and this is what they consider important?
I say clean up your own house Congress, then worry about Baseball’s.
I have a book that says the world was supposed to end in 2006. It was really, really funny.
The world ended in 2004.
I spoke to Chuck today. He says he has never used any PED and that “It was the one armed man” that did it.
A Knoblauch lookalike was spotted with a hardhat pouring concrete at the new Stadium. Lost him in traffic on the Major Deegan.
Isn’t there some Nostradamus prophecy that occurs early in 2008 that a group of undefeated warriors from the New England be slaughtered in a game played with an oblong shaped pigskin by a team from the New Amsterdam?
Makes me wonder if oddsmakers used Nostradamus’s accuracy rate to set the odds for that then…
Norm -
The prophecy is correct and Coach Peter Stuyvesant will be proud of his New Amsterdam team.
If Chuck needs a place to hide; fresh clothes (not from Wal-Mart); and some pretty decent food – me and my family will surely help him !
We actually helped the “Burger King King” hide out for almost 2 weeks last October here Upstate. A bit creepy…..but nevertheless one hilarious guy !!!
Run, Chuck, Run !!!
(you have friends Chuck – you do have friends !!!)
Forrest Gump: Now you wouldn’t believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was running!
Well, they haven’t found Bin Laden, so why should we think they’d know where Knobby is?
i kind of wish Congress would go on the lam.
Just wondering, is any kind of reward being offered to anyone who has knowledge of Knoblauch’s whereabouts?
Too bad that Robert Stack is gone, this would be perfect for Unsolved Mysteries.
if he gets into a close range shootout with the feds he’s screwed
I think Chuckie is really Mr Met……
Go Chuck go…. It’s Mitchell & his ilk that should be running….
Does anyone see a little irony here.. Politicians investigating people for lying ??? What a joke…
Also..Too bad Chuck didn’t hit Oberman with that throw…
RUN Chuck RUN
- “if he gets into a close range shootout with the feds he’s screwed”
Indeed!
NYY Stadium Insider invites you to play Where’s Knobby:

Where’s knobby??
http://nyystadiuminsider.com/2.....nobby.html
sorry about the double post!
I live in Israel; I’ll be keeping an eye out for him here and I’ll let you know right away if I spot him.
It looks like only 3 of us read that AP story Pete linked to, if the # of comments about it are any indication: “Hank Steinbrenner gave an extended interview to the AP and mentioned that he wants to buy a soccer team.”
Did anyone else besides me also notice that Hank said this?
“…He was angered after the release of the Mitchell Report, which implicated 20 present and former Yankees in the use of steroids and human growth hormone. Some questioned whether the Yankees’ run of four World Series titles in five years from 1996-2000 was drug-fueled.
‘Don’t make any mistake about it: Our team in the late 90s beat everybody, and we beat everybody because we were that much better than everybody,’ he said. ‘And they had just as many players doing stuff — all the teams. I guarantee you go through every team in baseball, and they all have the same basic percentage of players doing stuff. They just weren’t as good as us. You think the Red Sox didn’t have players doing stuff back then? Give me a … break. They just weren’t as good as us, and neither was anybody else.’
Did he just obliquely admit not only the findings in the Mitchell Report, but confirm that PEDs were MUCH more widespread? And give the excuse that “everybody was doing it”?
Geez, what a loose cannon.
