Not Quite A Mark McGwire Sighting, But Close

It's been a while since we've seen Mark McGwire. Wait ... was that him at that Obama rally yesterday? OK, no, that wasn't him. But admit it: You wouldn't be surprised if he looked like this now.

This Cardinals Post Will Self-Destruct In 30 Seconds. Good Luck, Jim

OK, let's just keep this little post between you and I, OK? I purposely waited until now to put it up, knowing that Will would be scuba diving. Shhh. First, old business (two days old, but whatever, it needs to be addressed). It seems that Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa still does not believe that Mark McGwire took steroids. Oy vey. More »

In Which Bonds And His Ex-Mistress Are Both Fully Exposed

As you may have heard by now, it seems that the November issue of Playboy has just about something for everyone. Six-page nude pictorial on ex-Barry Bonds mistress Kimberly Bell? Check. Bell's revelations about Bonds' steroid use, including eyewitness testimony concerning his shrunken testicles? Check. Little Annie Fanny cartoon? Well, no; that's been discontinued. Simply put, never before has one woman revealed so much in the pages of a magazine. Let's get right to the action, shall we? More »

How Mark McGwire Will Get You On Jury Duty

Part of our job is to bring you the best links we can from around the Web, highlighting all the talented people doing amazing things simply because they love it. But the site we think might be the best, and the one we read more religiously than any other, is Viva El Birdos. We don't link it that often, because after last October, we're pretty certain you've had just about Cardinals talk around these parts. (Honestly, though, deep down, we really want to do a post on the Cardinals every day.) But we read every post over there, immediately. More »

Student Reporter Gets First Boring McGwire Quotes

So everybody wants to hear from Mark McGwire, the slugger-in-exile. What does he think about the Hall of Fame voting? Did he ever do steroids? What was the deal with appearing on "Mad About You?" No one has been able to get him to come out of hiding ... except for abused children, anyway. McGwire showed up at a charity event Friday night and gave his first public remarks about the Hall of Fame voting. Sorry, Buster Olney: The reporter who got the first quotes was Adam Levy, a student reporter at the Cal State Fullerton Daily Titan. More »

Welcome To The Hall, Cal And Tubby; We're Not Here To Talk About Your Past, Mac

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch appears to have jumped the gun on Hall of Fame voting results — and they don't have final totals — but it looks like there's no surprise: Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken are in ... and, obviously, Mark McGwire is out. (And likely not close.) Actual announcement in about five minutes. More »

The 1998 Baseballs Are Not Here to Talk About the Past

Here's a story that may not have any credibility whatsoever, depending upon your knowledge of the porny sounding " larger rubberized core "and "synthetic rubber rings", allegedly found in baseballs during the 1998 season and, specifically, in Mark McGwire's magical 70th homerun ball. More »
