    Grimsley's names


    Was just watching Sportscenter, and the names that were blacked out are now starting to come out. the names reportedly mentioned were

    Andy Petitte
    Roger Clemens
    Miguel Tejada
    Jay Gilbbons
    Brian Roberts

    If this is true, I'm done watching baseball. I cannot believe that BRob would take the drugs and would be absolutely crushed if true. I haven't seen a link yet, but will post when I find one.

    Here's a Baltimore Sun link.

      I dont know how to take this, I cant decide if Grimsley would have an agenda for calling out some big names, to maybe obscur himself.

      Then again, maybe its all true, I guess I just need more info.


      But this is very large news.

        Same, I'm not surprised at all about the other 4 names mentioned.

        Heres a link from the LA Times:
        The star pitcher and five other players used performance-enhancers, according to a former teammate who took steroids, prosecutors say.

          Same here. But if you think about his relationship with Clemens and how they are best friends and everything, it's really not that surprising.

            Well.....there goes the neighborhood.

            We've seen the stand-out sluggers of our time fall from grace due to steroids and now one of the greatest pitchers of all-time is linked. I'm not surprised, just disappointed.

            This just brightens the spotlight on Ken Griffey Jr. and Greg Maddux. I'm assuming those two are clean and should be considered the best at their respective positions for this generation of ugliness in baseball.

              Wow...

              As for having an agenda, Grimsley probably made a deal with the authorities to give up all the names he knows of in order to get off basically with a slap on the wrist.

              This is NOT the publicity that MLB needs for the playoff run.

              I'm not shocked but more disappointed in all this.

                I think I'm gonna go cry now...this gives further proof that the Grimsley-Bautista trade was one of the worst in Orioles history.

                  Pettitte surprises, all the others I could expect using them. Roberts' explains his huge power surge last year.

                    Wow...for someone who LOVES Andy Pettitte, this is shocking. Although I'm sort of skeptical about him specifically, since he has such strong religious beliefs.....

                    As for the rest, eh, I could have figured as much.

                      You'd be surprised.... Church on Sunday, sin on Monday.


                      Anyway, I really feel like someone kicked me in the nuts.

                      I never really cared for any of the guys mentioned, but I did respect what they did.

                      I always suspected in the back of my mind that Clemens was on the stuff, part of me truly believed it. He just couldn't play the way he has without some kind of boost.

                      But you always want to look the other way. I guess the kid in you. Part of the reason that keeps you coming back every season. The innocence and fun of the game seems to be unraveling more and more.

                          I've been saying Clemens has been for years now. The guy was in his 40's and pitching 100 mph with a 1.50 ERA.

                          Duh.

                              Not really, but this confirms it at least. before it was suspicion without substance.
