Andy Pettitte spoke today at Yankees camp about steroids. He said all the right things, and answered all the questions in all the right ways, the way baseball players have always said the right things and answered all the questions in all the right ways, for generations: Show a sliver of humanity, talk with brio "like a man," don't fully admit to anything (he actually claimed he didn't take HGH for an advantage. Makes sense) but generally show remorse about a vague unnamed, concept finish up with, "I'm just ready to go out there and play baseball." More »

It's probably best, at this point, to think of Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte as characters from "Mean Girls." More »

]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=336721&view=rss&microfeed=true I was planning on writing about the Andy Pettitte news here, but really, what is there to say? He took some human growth hormone five years ago to treat an injury and he "got caught." Pettitte says it was the only time he tried it his career — at a time when HGH wasn't illegal, no less — and well, I believe him. Big deal. More »

Remember the Grimsley affidavit? (Yes: That one.) Well, the Associated Press has been suing that the public has a right to know the names that are in the affidavit, and the government says it's an ongoing investigation. (A very ongoing one.) More »

Yesterday, relief pitcher Guillermo Mota was suspended 50 games for testing positive for steroids, and, as Baseball Musings points out, he at least didn't do the "might have accidentally put the wrong thing in my body" excuse; he manned up and apologized for his mistake.

And not in a good way. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Clemens, his good pal Andy Pettitte, and Miguel Tejada were among those accused of using performance-enhancers in the Jason Grimsley affidavit. Brian Roberts and Jay Gibbons, too. So much for Clemens getting through his career without ever being officially linked to performance-enhancers. More »

Houston Chronicle sportswriter Richard Justice mentions in his blog that he's hearing that the Astros have offered Roger Clemens $20 million for five months of work. If my rusty math is correct, and Clemens was employed by the Astros for 150 days, and started one game every five days, and threw 100 pitches in each of those games, that would come out to about $1,667 per pitch.
