  1. Looks like it's about to get real interesting for them now since this
    guy is naming names big time.

    Grimsley in drug probe
    Pitcher told IRS agent he used steroids

    In April, eight months after Grimsley spoke of fixing things and
    changing things, federal agents caught the new Diamondbacks relief
    pitcher accepting what he admitted was his 12th shipment of human
    growth hormone kits through the mail at his Scottsdale home.

    There's a link to the affidavit too. He's been around a long time and
    is squealing like a caught pig about everyone and everything it looks
    like from some of the other reports too.

  2. As someone who has had access to a few big league clubhouses I must say
    that I am shocked that it has taken all these years for this little
    secret to finally begin to come out.Uppers have always been a part of
    the game but anyone who watches some baseball footage from say 20 years
    back and then compare it with some footage from a couple years back
    would be able to notice a big difference in the size of players.I
    laughed a few years back when baseballs started flying out of parks at
    record pace.Someone asked Canseco about it and he mentioned that weight
    training was the reason.It was almost like he was saying that players
    never lifted weights until last off season and suddenly someone
    discovered weight training and bingo....the ball starts flying like a
    golf ball off the bats.

    Dumbass,
    That's because the force of gravity has started to decline. That also
    explains why the riders are climbing faster these days.

    Damn I knew there had to be a reason that big guys were now climbing
    with 5' 3" 110lb pure climbers. Gotta get Jan an advisor that
    understands physics so he stops getting dropped.

    The thin line holding this planet together is irony and heaven help us
    when that gets grokked.

    Please note that this only started to happen when gravity decreased to
    where the little guys started to float and began to lose traction.

    Just someone on two wheels...

    Presumably to prevent nodding off on the bench. Peanuts no longer doing
    the trick?
