'roids
The Mitchell report on steroids in baseball is coming out today, and word is leaking that Roger Clemens is in there. I never thought that, in the World Series, when Clemens took Piazza's shattered bat and hurled it back at him, it was just the spirit of competition. I feel the same way about Kenny Rogers smashing photographers' cameras and throwing ninety-three miles per hour at age forty. The use of steroids by pitchers has been widely overlooked. I'd look for a whole mess of them on the list.

Damnit. The only Mets t-shirt I own is a Paul Lo Duca. He is on the list.
I see no Pirates on the list. Their losing records of the past 15 years thus earn an asterisk.
And I thought Roger Clemens' fierceness was from putting Ben Gay in his jockstrap whenever he was pitching (a practice that remains legal).
no kenny rogers on the list that i've seen. to me, that just means there are gaps in the report. i know a 'roid head when i see one. speaking of which, farnsworth is on there. he's thrown some real punches out there in baseball brawls.
As the saying goes, a 'roid head has no neck
Well perhaps there would be Pirates on the list if the Pirate Parrot hadn't been busted for slinging coke back in the 80's. He would have probably come around and started selling steroids. And then Barry wouldn't have had to go to SF to get his juice on.
yeah, those pirates from the late 70s/early 80s were all coked up, weren't they?
The Pirates may have been exempted from the investigation because it's clear they were enjoying no competitive advantage.
NOT on steroids

Hey! Paul, that looks like you circa 1989!
