You are kidding yourself if you think these guys were not doing this stuff before 2000. It's like the DWI that cries to the judge that he had never driven drunk before. It's BS. The clubhouse must have been swimming in the stuff during those years.

Pettitte spins before Roger. They will whine that they only took it to get over injuries. They'll whine that they only took it a few times. They got caught. They are cheaters, and they have to spin, because after their playing days are over, the only asset they have is their names. Clemens and Pettitte's names are permanently stained. They can swear on bibles that they sat on the needles by mistake, but they are still sullied. Too bad for the Whore and the Hypocrite. What about the other 10 Yankee champions. They didn't inhale either. Cheaters! Their championship banners should have syringes embroidered on them. I see a new slogan for the '96, '98-2000 Champs: "Champion Cheaters of the Steroid Era." The fans can be proud. Give the team a monument for Monument Park.

Here's how I think that Roger the Sociopath-Whore will eventually spin the situation. he will continue to try to garner sympathy by claiming that he never took steroids and bemoaning that his good name has been besmirched without the opportunity to be heard. He will do this first through his representatives and then he will do it personally. He may even feign emotion. The press will turn up the heat by asking why he turned down Mitchell's invitation to give his side to the Committee. At this point , he'll come up with some lame excuse. Then he'll be asked why he doesn't bring an action for libel to clear his name. He won't sue because it is true, but he'll lamely lie his way through that set of questions. After looking like lying cheat, he will regroup with his advisers and he will embark on a different strategy. He'lladmit that it is possible that he took steroids, but he didn't know about it, because the trainer was administering it. He will claim that he took injections to treat his groin, hamstring and other injuries, but he thought the substances were legal and prescribed by a doctor. Only the most feeble-minded Yankee fans will buy his story. He's done. He'll forever be branded as a cheater, and it is well-deserved. Also well deserved is the vindication of Dan Duquette who was right that Clemens was in the twilight of his career. Clemens just decided to cheat his way through the twilight. I wonder if those cortisone shots this season were really cortisone.

Hey! I may be old, but I am not miserable.

Life just keeps getting better for Red Sox fans. In 2004, the Red Sox beat the Yankees in historic fashion. The Yanks had the worst choke in the history of the game. The Red Sox sweep their way to a second World Championship, and in game 4, AROd announces that he is opting out of his contract and Yankee fans meltdown. HOF Manager Torre parts ways with the Yankees 12 Yankees from the Championship era are named in the Mitchell report. How many more were doing the juoice we can only guess, but their clubhouse must have been like a crack den with syringes all over the place. Their championships that occurred right smack in the middle of the steroid era are forever tainted as a group of cheaters. Clemens, the Whore of Famer phoney had it coming. He is the pitching counterpart for Bonds. We will not have to worry about Clemen's threats to boycott the HOF if they put a Red Sox hat on him. I think he'd wear any hat now. What sweet irony. Pettitte, the hypocritical family man got busted. I guess his family had a price, which is why he came back to NY. He said that he would pray for guidance about coming back to play in 2008. I wonder if he prayed for guidance before he stuck needles in his ass. The legendary workouts by Clemens and Pettitte don't look so legendary right now. I couldn't be happier that after the initial erroneous leak that neither Varitek or Damon or any 2004 Red Sox made the list. Yankee fans can scream bias, but if you think about it, the steroid era came to a crashing halt after 2003 when BALCO heated up. The users got scared and many went cold turkey and fell apart. Didn't Giambi and Kevin Brown pick up the mystery parasite in Japan at the beginning of 2004 and weren't they basically useless that year? Didn't Sosa go on the DL from sneezing that year? 2004 can be pointed to as the beginning of the post steroid era because of the increased scrutiny by law enforcement, etc. The Red Sox two championships are secure from being tainted. If any of the prominent Sox had ever done ROIDs, they most likely did them before 2004. The only Sox named Manny on the list was Manny Alexander. Too bad Yankee fans. The only Red Sox from 2007 were Gagne and Donnelly. Gagne, not only contributed nothing, but he practically wrecked the Red Sox season single-handed. Donnelly contributed next to nothing. I laugh at Yankee fans that were suspecting/hoping that Manny/Ortiz/Schilling would be on the list. At Spring Training 2004, I saw these guys with their shirts off. They could easily have given the Michelin Man a run for his money. If they were doing Roids, they must have been laced with Wendy's. We get to look forward to raising the Championship banner on opening day and the Yankee tradition has been permanently sullied, desecrated and tainted. Life is wonderful. Happy Holidays!!

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7553182 They must have heard that he is very serious with his training. He could be a difference maker.

No, but you would be really mad.

I like that John Henry. He looks like a mild-mannered wimp, but to become such a rich man in his line of work he had to be a cut-throat tough SOB. He brought that mentality to baseball. When the team flopped in 2006, he made it known that he wanted Theo and crew to aggressively improve the team. When we lost in 2003, he loosened the purse strings and we got Schilling and Foulke. Red Sox fans owe JH a debt of gratitude.

Yeah, Security mashed that guy in the stands.

I got a pair for Texas on Sunday, but only 2 singles for the Saturday game.

Anyone have any success or luck getting tickets today?

...or will he be coming back? http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1049328

Any word on whether the Sox and the Twins resumed talks after dinner? Is it possible that Sox officials are already negotiating with Santana's agent, or would there be a separate announcement in that regard after the trade is agreed upon?

Hank's deadline has come and passed. Is there any word that they are meeting at this hour?

This is some game. How many times have the Pats been down to their last play. Holy crap! He threw the TD pass. He was inbounds. What is the flag about?

Less than 2 hours before Hank's empty bluff of a deadline expires. He is really making an ass of himself this offseason.

One by one, the big pitchers have been re-signed by their teams. Oswalt and Houston, Buerhle and the White Sox, Zambrano and the Cubs, and now Peavy and the Padres. Who thinks Santana will really be traded? I think they will trade him only if the Yankees let themselves get raped. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7518156

JayHawk, what part of "I give up" didn't you understand? Surrender is not enough for you? I have said that I will refer to him from this point on as "Future Hall of Famer, Melky Cabrera" or "All Star Melky Cabrera."
