Journalist Who Bravely Uncovered McGwire's (Perfectly Legal, Over-The-Counter) Drug Use Up For HOF Award
In 1998, the AP's Steve Wilstein spotted a bottle of legal supplements in Mark McGwire's locker. A decade of stupidity and Reefer Madness hysteria ensued, the Bill of Rights died a little, and now people think Wilstein belongs in Cooperstown. More »

Ex-Fiancee Corroborates McGwire Steroid Claims Made In Book Proposal (Updated)
Lauren Brown was engaged to Jay McGwire in 1996, the same time he was consistently supplying the former home run king with steroids. She's relieved the truth about Mark's steroid use is finally out.

Mark McGwire's One-Eyed Baby Brother Reveals The Not-So-Startling Truth
Jay McGwire idolized his older brothers, became hooked on steroids, crashed, found God, and now wants to share his story with the world. He also claims he introduced the fallen home run hero to 'roids.

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 » -

Steroids ... The Musical!
People are taking this steroid stuff too seriously, we think. We're in the midst of reading "Game Of Shadows" right now, and even though it's damning and impeccably sourced and all those Big Serious Important Things, we're also finding it awfully funny. We love Victor Conte, with his stoner musician roots and sudden eureka moment when he decides, "Hey, you know what? Now I'm going to pretend I'm a doctor!" More »

Welcome To The Golf Course, Baby ... You Gonna DIIIIIEEEE!
We hadn't seen any pictures of Axl Rose lately — we still imagine the former Guns 'N Roses frontman growing his fingernails long and collecting jars of his own urine, Aviator-style, while he watches Velvet Revolver videos and flicks a lamp on ... and off ... and on — but this more recent one struck canonical New York City blogger The Minor Fall, The Major Lift as pretty much precisely what would happen to Mark McGwire if he continued on his current rapid rate of deflation.

What Now, Big Mac?
Tomorrow night, beleaguered former hero Mark McGwire will make his first public appearance since those pesky steroid hearings back in March. At Busch Stadium in St. Louis, former players and various local luminaries — we saw Ray Lankford and Illini basketball coach Bruce Weber earlier this year — have taken turns tearing down a sheet with the number of games left for the stadium (which will be torn down this year). McGwire — seen here with his wife, at the public appearance before the steroid hearings — is tearing down No. 3, and the big question is how he will be received. Will the warm-hearted and forgiving Cardinals fans embrace him? Will he be showered with boos? And will he have his wife with him? Because that might help. More » -

McGwire Returns To Site Of Much Needle Poking
Apparently, Mark McGwire is finally available to talk about the past. In one of his very few public appearances since his retirement — we count that testimony before Congress, Jack Buck's funeral and a bunch of golf tournaments — the once-beloved-now-embattled slugger will attend the final weekend festivities at Busch Stadium at beginning of October. As we can attest, Cardinals fans aren't known for either holding grudges or for their talent at heckling, so he can probably expect a rousing ovation. More »
