Why presume the guy is innocent and very talented? LET'S ASSUME HE'S JUICED!

Maybe someone more in the know about MLB policy can chime in, but I think they do have to take periodic blood tests nowadays.

He didn't put on a sudden growth spurt; more on McCovey lines-huge from birth, probably. Nonetheless, he should probably volunteer so there won't be questions.

Just finished watching the game. Ryan Howard 3, Marlins 2.
Jamie Moyer pitched a terrific game.

When Howard hits his 62nd, he will be the all-time, single-season home-run king.

I think there's enpough fear out there about getting caught that steroids aren't as common as some folks think.

That no hitter by the Marlin's Sanchez was most impressive the other day.

Phila. Daily News running a box daily "The Real Race," comparing Howard's pace to Maris' 1961 pace (before tonight, tied at 54 after 140 games)

I have the substance of the interview right on this, but not the details: NFL lineman said on sports interview show this week that 15-20% of NFL linemen are using Human Growth Hormone.

It's amazing how good they are at scooping up good young pitchers. The Red Sox are pulling their hair out over losing him and several other position players from their minor league system

LOL Pay Rod

Derrick Jeter has said he would like to play for the Tigers someday but I suspect the cost would be mighty high. Right now the only players they have at over 10 million are Ordonez and Rodriguez.
