John Rocker wants you to give a shit, because he's got a book coming out. It makes a perfect Christmas present for someone you hate, but is not appropriate as a gift for Eid or Diwali because John Rocker doesn't want brown people currency. To drum up interest for the book, Rocker's doing the interview circuit, and in a chat with NY Baseball Digest's Mike Silva, he copped to using PEDs during his Braves days. More »

A good portion of Americans join softball leagues this time of the year. Many do it for the social aspect alone, which leaves many teams stockpiled with players who are ridiculously awful. More »

Per yesterday's A-Rod-loves-other-ladies story, comes this email from Alicia Marie, who was not pleased with our repeating of the New York Daily News' erroneous report yesterday that she and John Rocker were no longer an item. She writes: More »

Well, look who it is! Welcome to the party, Alicia Marie, who's unfortunately making news because her name is being tossed around as a possible "friend" of Alex Rodriguez. But Alicia is quick to respond to the New York Daily News to defend herself and her "friendship" from such tawdry allegations: More »

We don't mean to harp on John Rocker lately; as we've said, we legitimately like the guy. We think it's probably because we've been impersonating him so much on this book tour. He has gotten in our head. We aren't quite ready to admit that we were wondering what he and the lovely Alicia Marie were up to this Valentine's Day, but now that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has asked for us, we'll go ahead and publish the answer.

With all this other steroid business going on today, we feel obliged to point out that John Rocker is not going to just be ignored. He's hoppin' mad about the "irresponsible dolts of the media." More »

It will come as a shock, a shock, we tell you, to learn that our friend John Rocker was on steroids. Throughout this book tour, we've been impersonating Rocker at every stop, and we need steroids just to get into character. More »

We have quite a bit of history with John Rocker and his PR agent Debi Curzio, but we'll confess — and we're not sure why — we simply never thought to ask either of them about steroids. Maybe it's because we don't care about steroids all that much, or maybe it's just because asking a guy who has been retired for four years about steroids seems beyond the point. Or maybe it's just because we've always assumed half of baseball's roided anyway, and we just don't get too worked up about it. More »

Maxim's Superbowl Shitshow party was everything one could hope for and so much more. The Sagamore Hotel transformed itself into a beachfront paradise with celebrities and athletes, and, of course FredEx and his Godly hands cavorting about the joint. Freddie Mitchell was attached to Irishman Brady Quinn and Julius Jones for most of the evening, trying to round up ladies, or an offseason workout partner, or relevancy— most likely all three. I approached Freddie, bursting with Eagles superfandom, thanked him for 4th and 26 and the Vikings Divisional playoff game which he totally owned. Then I asked for a pic. Next question? More »

Two days before Thanksgiving, at Local 138, one of our favorite watering holes in New York City, we sat down with, of all people, famed immigration expert John Rocker, and talked for about an hour. Really. We did this. See? Sometimes we interview people. More »

In regards to the MLB-mandated sensitivity training, Ozzie Guillen can go one of two ways. He can go to the training, or he can go the John Rocker route. Here are John's thoughts on the situation: More »

Hmmm ... you know we love writing about Barry Bonds ... but if only there were some way we could somehow combine stories about Bonds and, oh, John Rocker. Any way we could make that happen? More »

Entrace music for relief pitchers has been a popular topic of discussion lately. Daniel Engber at Slate.com goes into a fairly thorough history of entrance music for relievers, including the odd fact that no one seems to select any music that was produced in the last 10 years. Here are some handy tidbits from the article: More »

Maybe we're just too skeptical today, but this might be too good to be believed: It seems John Rocker has himself a Match.com profile. (His handle is "bullpenjohn," rather than, say, "crackerman1974.") More »

Last night, the Long Island Ducks released former Braves cattlehand John Rocker after Rocker said he needed to "take a step back" from baseball. It is not known if Rocker is going to try to peddle his wares elsewhere, or if he will look for a second career. More »
