    Good call. I'm sure we're going to get the news on Pujols soon enough.

    Interesting that this breaks on an off day for the Dodgers

    I'm assuming his ticket to the Hall of Fame just got revoked.

    And I was hoping he'd fall harder than the rest... you know, for Manny being Manny

    He just hasn't been caught yet.

    But holy fucking shit on Manny. You've got to be pretty fucking stupid to get caught.

    Griffey skated through all this pretty clean.

    From the tail of the story:<blockquote>In an appearance at USC last month, Jose Canseco said Ramirez's name "is most likely, 90%" on a list of 104 players that failed a drug test in 2003. The players were promised anonymity for taking tests in 2003; Rodriguez is the only player that has been identified among that group.

    Ramirez laughed when Times columnist Kurt Streeter relayed Canseco's allegation to him.

    "I got no comment, nothing to say about that," Ramirez told Streeter. "What can I say? I don't even know the guy."</blockquote>@Simon_Cowbell: I've always thought that if Griffey had been using, there's no way he'd have been injured as often and out as long as he was.

    The Hall of Fame is going to be a really empty place in 5 to 10 years, if that is the case.

    Or should we just start making David DeJesus' plaque now?

    I hold out hope that Soriano is clean, but that's probably naive. They're probably all on something.
