Will John D. Villarreal be the strength and conditioning coach?

Third rule: Deny, deny, deny.

Glad to see St. Louis has decided to stop pretending they're clean.

Schadenfreude tasting good this afternoon, Moddy?

St. Louis media folks are posting on Twitter about this. As one put it, the circus will begin in four months.

I want a non-juiced Mark McGwire teaching me how to hit about as much as I want Tony La Russa and his much-bragged about law degree defending me on a drunken vehicular homicide.

Seriously, why would you even want him teaching anybody else how to hit? Sure, he had tremendous power, even before he "bulked up," but he was so inconsistent outside of the home runs.

That's beautiful.

Mark McGwire says he hit for average better than Rob Deer and you are all haters.

I know for a fact that he would never say that.

He's already shown that he has no interest in talking about the past.
