Ken Griffey Jr., Quiet, Slugging Non-Steroid User


Ken Griffey Jr. is three homers away from his 600th, which would make him only the sixth man to reach the lofty plateau. The other five are Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and ... Sammy Sosa. Sportaphile wonders: Why isn't everybody talking about how amazing a milestone it is? More »

Jose Canseco's Lawyer Finally Released Into The Wild

You may remember, from Pat Jordan's already famous story for us about trying to interview Jose Canseco, his lawyer "Rob," a "a Cherokee Indian from North Carolina" who, after four years working for Jose, had yet to be paid. Well, Canseco might have just done Rob — whose real name is Robert Saunooke — a big favor: He just fired him. More »

Steroids, Circa 1992

FanIQ uncovers an old set of "Topps Kids" baseball cards from 1992 that probably wouldn't fly today: It looks like every player is on steroids. Even poor Ozzie Smith! More »

Pat Jordan, Canseco "Square Off" On Howard Stern

This morning, on The Howard Stern Show (a.k.a., the show you used to listen to all the time until either: a) he left for satellite radio, which you don't get; or b) he got divorced from his wife, draining the show of its subtle, mostly hidden pathos), Jose Canseco was a guest. And Pat Jordan, author of the gripping story about Chasing Jose for us, called in and chatted. More »

President Bush Would Never Associate With Such Unsavory Characters


The mainland Major League Baseball season kicks off Sunday night, with the Nationals opening their new stadium. President Bush is slated to throw out the first pitch. Usually, he throws it to the home team's starting catcher. Unfortunately for him, this year the home team starting catcher is all over the Mitchell Report. More »

A-Rod Comments On Canseco's Book "Revelation"

Well, that didn't take long: Just five hours after our post on writer Joe Lavin's early purchase of Jose Canseco's new book, which, according to Lavin, claims that Canseco introduced A-Rod to a steroid supplier, A-Rod has responded with characteristic stoicism. More »

Source: Canseco Accuses A-Rod Of Steroid Abuse, Wife Coveting, In New Book

In the next week, you're going to see more of Jose Canseco that you likely have much desire to see. But Canseco has a new book coming out April 1, Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball, coming out just in time for opening day and promising to, once again, blow the lid off the steroid menace. Once again, he's naming names, and, according to a man named Joe Lavin, who bought a copy accidentally put on sale early at a Boston bookstore, those names are Roger Clemens, Magglio Ordonez and Alex Rodriguez.

Roger Clemens' Next Employment Opportunity

If Roger Clemens ever tires of heading out there and "defending" "his" name," he's gonna come to the harsh reality that he is, after all, unemployed. As you wonder aloud what he might be qualified to do — we suggest perhaps dry cleaning — the Huntsville Stars, the Double A affiliate for the Milwaukee Brewers, have a job they think that might serve him: Mascot.

The Other Shoe Drops In Clemens Case

I guess the lesson is that you don't come into Henry Waxman's house talking smack. Just hours after Congress recommended that Roger Clemens' testimony be examined by the Justice Department, the FBI announced that it has begun investigating whether the pitcher lied to Congress when he denied taking steroids.

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 »

Congress Decides That It's Time ... For The Comfy Chair!

I know that this isn't the favorite part of your day, but it must be done: Here's your Roger Clemens update. Noting direct contradictions in testimony given by Clemens to a congressional committee in a private hearing on Feb. 5 and at a public hearing on Feb. 13 regarding steroids, congressional leaders have asked the Justice Department to consider a possible perjury investigation. Henry Waxman (tenting fingers): "Release the hounds!" More »

Roger Clemens Is Not An Animal!

Roger Clemens arrived in Kissimmee, Fla., on Tuesday to, well, work out I guess. Why is Clemens welcome at Astros training camp while Barry Bonds is universally shunned? Answer: A). Clemens has two functioning knees, B). Bonds is not a Republican, C). Clemens gives better quotes, or D). All of the above. The answer of course is D! Example: More »

Jose Canseco Can Sometimes Look Rather Small


Mop Up Duty brings us this ad for Testagen, which promises TESTOSTERONE OPTIMIZATION! It's Jose Canseco and Derek Anthony, who classifies himself as an "extreme bodybuilder." We'd say. More »

Careful Of Those Governmental Typos

Anyone who reads Deadspin regularly knows that typos happen. Sometimes they happen more often, typically after the night before has been late and the screen is looking blurry. They're annoying, but, you know, they happen. It's one thing for a sports blog to have a typo or two; it's another for a government document to do so. More »

Roger Clemens, Talking Himself Further Down The Hole


All told, as the dust has settled from Roger Clemens' appearance before Congress yesterday, one thing is clear: There is, in fact, a worse stance to take under oath than "I'm not here to talk about this past." And it involves ass bleeding. More »

What Today Has Meant, If Anything


Who knows what one can take from the ridiculousness on display in the Clemens testimony today? As we suspected, no one comes out looking good, and we didn't really learn anything either. One guy's lying, one guy isn't, we have a pretty solid idea which is which, and it ultimately doesn't really matter. Roger Clemens' name is going to be connected to steroids forever; it'll be the reason he might not make it to the Hall of Fame (though we bet he sneaks in), and it will certainly be in his obituary. That was the case before today, and it's the case now. More »
