Andy admitting to the HGH use independenly corroborates McNamee’s testimony.  Not making excuses for Pettitte here.  I guess HGH was technically a banned substance in 2002 because it was a prescription medication for which Andy had no prescription.  But in terms of being on a “banned” list by MLB, that was not the case in 2002.  Plus, if Pettitte is to [...]

A-Rod’s appearance alone is to me good evidence he is banned sunstances clean and always was. His logic was basically, “I’m better than 99.9% of the league anyway, why bother.”  It’s not like he reached a declining abilities age where many were tempted. I can buy that.
He sure non-answered past the extra-marital query, Katie had [...]

In 2002 I was injured. I had heard that human growth hormone could promote faster healing for my elbow. I felt an obligation to get back to my team as soon as possible. For this reason, and only this reason, for two days I tried human growth hormone.
Though it was not against baseball rules, I [...]

After the A’s sent Dan Haren to the D-Backs, Beane intimated that closer Huston Street is available.  You hear that Cashman?  Give ‘ol Billy a call and see what it’s going to take to bring Street to NY.  He can pitch the 8th inning, Hawkins the 7th. 
 

The cooperators (Radamski and McNamee) have to tell the truth, it’s part of their cooperation agreements with the Federal Government.  If the government finds out later that they were lying about Clemens, et al., not only are their immunity agreements null and void but they get prosecuted for the additional offenses of prejury, providing false [...]

The report is interesting, the way the National Inquirer is interesting.  There is no hard proof on anyone here.  McNamee is the only guy in the whole report who actually saw someone use performance enhancing drugs.  He claims to have injected Clemens, Pettitte, and Knoblauch.  All of the Randomski evidence is mostly circumstantial.  He doesn’t claim [...]

As a side note, I noticed that the Cubs non-tendered Mark Prior.  He is a free agent.  Cashman, get on the phone now and talk to his agent.  I am intrigued. He is still 29, the same age as Santana.

Good.  I am glad this is out.  I read parts of it, not the whole thing obviously.  As you might expect, there are different levels of proof for different players.  The evidence that Mitchell compiled was pretty compelling and he did a thorough job as well as a professional presentation.  One thing that Mitchell said [...]

Here’s the section on Clemens….
Roger Clemens
Roger Clemens is a pitcher who, from 1984 to 2007, played for four teams in Major League Baseball, the Boston Red Sox (13 seasons), Toronto Blue Jays (2 seasons), New York Yankees (6 seasons), and Houston Astros (3 seasons). He has won more than 350 games, seven Cy Young Awards, [...]

I just heard the report about the Report that Clemens is named.  I want to know what level of evidence Mitchell held himself to, but I anticipate that Mitchell will have proof.  The guy was a federal judge, a U.S. Attorney and a Senator.  He understands the nature of implicating someone in an investigation such [...]
