Sammy Sosa, who joined with Mark McGwire in 1998 in a celebrated pursuit of baseball’s single-season home run record, is among the players who tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003, according to lawyers with knowledge of the drug-testing results from that year.

I know, I know, what a shocker. It's hardly even news, given how obvious it was that he was juicing. But if A*Rod is front-page news, no reason Sammy isn't, especially since he was an Oriole for an awful (if brief) period.

I love that this came out, what, a week after he said he’s waiting to get into the hall and that he’d never ever done any of that “stuff” nor would he do that to his body?

What the F?!?

Anonymous Lawyers out there know about 102 other positive testers from 2003. And apparently there must also be some Anonymous Journalists who have at least some clue who these anonymous lawyers are.

Now I am not arguing against the institution for the protection of anonymous sources. But honestly, what the fuck? Release the names and lets move on. There is no way this secret is going to stay hidden forever.

Forgive them. Let them play. Deny entrance to the Hall. And finally prosecute all those A-holes who had the gall to hold their hand up and spin bald faced lies in front of Congress.
