Yeah, Steroids Will Totally Ruin Your Life
It was pointed out when Yankees Meat Loaf impersonator Jason Giambi admitted to taking steroids in front of the BALCO grand jury that steroids worked out just fine for him. A year after it was confirmed by Giambi was taking steroids, he signed a nine-digit contract with the Yankees. Ask him, in da...
Adventures In Advertising
He may be an unspeakable cad in most parts of our great land, but San Francisco is still doggedly clutching Barry Bonds to its bosom. Call it denial, pride, myopia, whatever; from San Francisco's point of view, Bonds may be a cheater, but damn it, he's our cheater. For proof, let's head over to th...

Enhance Your Pud
So, should Barry Bonds be in the Hall of Fame if it's proven (again) that he used steroids? If he makes it, he won't be the first guy to use performance enhancers in Cooperstown. NPR's blog tells the story today of Pud Galvin, a 19th century pitcher for Pittsburgh....

The Ultimate Time Capsule Photo
Someone just sent us this picture, and we don't know where it's from, who took it or what the circumstances were around it. But, somehow, it made us extremely sad. Man. That could have been Whitey Ford, Ted Williams and Joe Louis hanging out right there. Oh well....
Sheriff Bud Selig, All Over The Case
Look out, Barry; you're really in trouble now. Bud Selig reportedly is ready to announce that Major League Baseball is launching an investigation into steroid use (insert dramatic music here). So as you can see, the jig is up. There's absolutely nowhere players like Bonds can hide. Having Bud Seli...

Everybody Hates Barry ... Even Pepsi
So, let's just say that Barry Bonds does break Hank Aaron's home run record this year. It's not that crazy of a notion, you know; he needs 48, which is fewer home runs than Andruw Jones hit last year. How will you react? OK, let's rephrase that: If you had a multi-million dollar advertising budget...

Julian Tavarez Is Crazy, Man, Crazy
As Cardinals fans, the level of enjoyment we derived from having Julian Tavarez on our team the last few years is exceeded only by the relief we felt when he left.

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 musici...
