Around SBN: Clippers Need To Realize That Spurs Are The Anti-Grizzlies

The Grims Reaper's affidavit getting leaked

This is from Deadspin, which you might think isn't legit enough to trust, but, they're as reliable as anything else probably.

Like they did at the end, I will say this up front: I am not accusing [x] of using anything, but it sure looks bad.

Allard Baird told Grimsley about his failed test in 2003. Grimsley dropped Sammy Sosa's name in here, so there goes pretty much any hope anyone ever had about Sosa having been clean.

And the big one is Chris Mihlfeld. Who? Chris Mihlfeld is a trainer and is named as a referrer in the acquisition of steroids, HGH, amphetamines, etc.

But the real story is that Chris Mihlfeld has been the personal trainer -- since 1999 -- of Albert Pujols.

If Albert Pujols gets swept up in this -- and again, I'm not accusing him of anything -- it will be a bigger blow to baseball at this point than pretty much anyone else could be. The reason I have for saying that is that Albert Pujols is everyone's darling boy. As always, the sportswriters and TV personalities have been quite fond of reminding us that Albert Pujols is a good, solid man, a family man, a man of conviction, who loves not only baseball, but America and life.

Albert Pujols was to lead a new generation away from the dinosaur roidheads, your Sosas and Bondses and Palmeiros, who are nearly extinct, and send us into a golden age of baseball. The new Babe Ruth! The NEW new Babe Ruth! Always gotta have one of those.

So, if it turns out to go the terrible way, I suggest that Corey Patterson lead the new generation.

I'm so tired of steroids
Even if it's not steroids, I don't believe they can test for human growth hormone. Whatever it is, it doesn't belong in the game. Home runs are boring. Small ball and speed is exciting. Homers are like having an orgasm without the build up.

re:
Small ball is awesomer. Is there anything more exciting in the game of baseball than a play at the plate?

I was at that game and it was awesome.

a walkoff homer
I'm not hating on small ball if that's what your team is made up to do. Nor am I denying the excitement possibilities. But I love some home runs.

"Homers are like having an orgasm without the build up."

...I am unfamiliar with this phenomenon.

Seriously, that sucks
I've been rooting for Pujols to break Bonds' single season record, as I'm sure a lot of Bonds haters have.  

It's interesting how Grimsley switched to HGH as soon as there started being penalties for steroids.  I really hope that he's still the exception and most guys are cleans, except for the all-pervasive greenies, of course.

Palmiero
Just goes to show just how stupid Palmiero is/was.  Everyone knows how to beat the testing.  They can test for about 90% of the steroids through urine tests.  So either take the 10% that can't be tested for or HGH and you can't test positive.

In my opinion, they are never going to be able to get steroids or other performance enhancing drugs out of the game.  When a star player can make more than $10 million/year; there is just far too much incentive to take them.  To be honest if I was a minor league player or a AAAA kind of guy and I thought I could break through by taking steroids or some other drug; I seriously doubt that I would have to think twice about.

No one suprises me
I believe Ken Caminiti.

Maybe Pujols never got the memo that steroids and stuff were illegal.

If Pujols goes down
then does A-Rod take over the mantle as most talented player w/o a steriod cloud hanging over him.  I suppose Griffey could compete with A-Rod but obviously the injuries have slowed him.

I love Pujols.
And I hate having THE FEAR that he is tainted. This wouldn't be as painful as Raffy, of course but it would be pretty bad.

Tejada on amphetamines...
I find that very easy to believe. Watching him in the dugout he looks like the Tazmanian Devil or something. [I'm not accusing him of anything, BTW, I'm just saying if it turned out to be true it wouldn't exactly blow me away.]

Anybody on ampehtamines

No...
no one would shock me. But let's just say it particularly wouldn't shock me to learn Tejada used them.

white light / white heat
amphetamines are everywhere.  doctors hand out rx for aderol, ritalin, etc all the time - the phenomenon is not unique to baseball.  and i really don't think they would really be all that 'performance enhancing' anyway.

by jeremy52 on Jun 9, 2006 1:28 PM EDT reply actions  

Ampehetamines
are not the problem at all, they've been using them since the times of Ball Four and probably sometime before, I guess they could help you hustle late in the year but like you said its not really that performance enchancing but I have heard players doing speed for a long time and that worries me, not so much on the performance enhancing side of things though. But HGH are a problem and not alot of people would shock me at this point (like Eckstein might but shocking Tejeda, Puljols, Piazza are no big shockers). Id be very interested to see what pitchers took this shit though, Clemens would be someone I really suspect (or some kind of steroids) because no one is THAT better than everyone else at 42, also did Rivera take something? Randy Johnson (I dont really think so as far as Johnson goes though)? Eh it'll be intersting when the list of names leaks out.
