Look, Another Steroids Story

Poor George Mitchell. Most people thought his steroids investigation into baseball was doomed more than a year ago, when it began, because if you don't have to talk to a guy like that, why would you? What, this guy's gonna bust this wide open? George Mitchell is a respected public figure, but, you know, not exactly urgent about this whole thing. More »

Palmeiro Pretends To Come Clean

For anybody who missed it yesterday, Orioles designated hitter Rafael Palmeiro finally made a public statement about steroids yesterday, and, as you'd certainly expect, it was unsatisifying. Basically, Palmeiro said he never intentionally took steroids but that he might have accidentally got some in his system because of a B-12 shot that he famously implicated Miguel Tejada in giving him. (He fesses up to that too, kinda.) More »

The Lactating Rafael Palmeiro

Well, now it appears that the "secret source" for Rafael Palmeiro's steroid wasn't a "source" or, for that matter, a "steroid." (But Palmeiro's name was, in fact, spelled correctly.) It turns out that Palmeiro told Congress that Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada gave Palmeiro a B-12 Vitamin, which is not only not a steroid and not only not illegal, but also mainly used to help pregnant women lactate. (Which explains that little pool and gathering of kittens that always followed behind him.) More »

Raffy's Mystery Roiding Buddy

Having exhausted the bottomless well of information that is Jorge Piedra, Congress is now investigating whether a teammate might have provided Orioles mustachio Rafael Palmeiro with steroids. Supposedly, Palmeiro said in closed-door testimony that he was given the substance by a fellow Oriole "by accident," and that he actually named the player. More »

Price For Mustache Rides Drops Dramatically

We can't help but notice something: It has been a bad few days for the mustache. Pittsburgh coach Dave Wannstedt is 0-2 as coach of his alma mater. Orioles steroid pariah Rafael Palmeiro is gonna hide for the rest of the season, probably for the rest of his career. And the patron saint of this, Tom Selleck, hasn't been in a non-TV movie this decade. We are expecting Keith Hernandez to get nailed in some sort of sex scandal — nothing involving cocaine, though, of course not — any minute now. More »

Raffy To Apply His Cream Back Home, Alone, Sans Earplugs

He's tried earplugs, he's tried refusing interviews, he's even tried shaving the mustache (OK, wishful thinking there), but since none of that worked, Rafael Palmeiro is taking his burgeoning erection and going home. He's officially "rehabbing his knee," in the same way that Jimmy Hoffa was "gardening." He says he's going to try to come back and catch on with a team next year; we suggest pointing him in the direction of Montreal. More »
