Jose Canseco, the man arguably most responsible for the steroid talk over the past few years, told Inside Edition that he lost his Californian mansion to foreclosure. The mansion, which is valued at approximately $2.5 million, is located in Los Angeles.
“I do have a judgment on my home and it to me is very […]

Miguel Tejada keeps finding himself in more and more legal trouble. His troubles started when he apparently lied about any knowledge regarding steroids. Former teammates Adam Piatt and Jose Canseco both say they discussed steroids with Tejada.
Even more damning, Piatt has produced proof that Tejada purchased steroids from him. If those claims […]

The good folks at Two guys who, like, never agree recently invited me to participate in a roundtable discussion. Other panelists included John Brattain, Craig Calcaterra, Connor Doyle, Colin Laisure-Pool, Voros McCracken, Jason Rosenberg, Justin St. Germain, and Pete Toms.
There’s lots of good stuff in here, but one of my favorite bits is Brattain’s riff […]

Roger Clemens is at it again. I’d like to stop talking about him, but he just won’t let me. According to published reports, Clemens snapped at a photographer on Tuesday for — get this — taking pictures.
I know, what was the guy thinking? Well, aside from the fact that his job is to take pictures.

Getting in late on this because a) I have a book to finish writing, and b) I find the whole affair disgusting, but for those interested, pitcher Roger Clemens and his former trainer Brian McNamee are testifying before Congress. Jayson Stark is blogging it at ESPN.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Steve Caimano at Dugout Central does a nice job poking holes in Roger Clemens’ attempt at damage control. Really, if Clemens was going to wait that long to say something, he might as well have made it something good.

My latest article over at Hardball Times re-examines career projections for Barry Bonds from before the 1997 season. Hint: He hit a few more home runs than predicted. ;-)

ESPN reports that federal agents haven’t been able to track down ex-big-leaguer Chuck Knoblauch to serve him with a subpoena to appear before a House panel investigating steroid use in baseball:
When the committee didn’t hear from Knoblauch or a representative, it issued a subpoena to force the 1991 AL Rookie of the Year to […]

“Witch Hunt Backlash” sounds like some crazy dance from the ’60s, but the Cardinals’ Albert Pujols might have other ideas. Seems he “was incorrectly linked to the Mitchell report” and now the media outlet that did the linking has lost the privilege of listening to Pujols speak:
Pujols asked Cardinals media relations director Brian Bartow to […]

Lost in the Roger Clemens - Brian McNamee spat that has resulted in Clemens filing suit against his former trainer is the story of the little guy. You know, the guy who never made it because he wasn’t juicing. Ex-minor-leaguer Rich Hartmann reportedly may file a class-action suit against MLB. Quoth Hartmann:
Was I cheated of […]
