    they were teammates and even housemates. segui let bigbie and roberts live rent free b/c they were rookies. even stated that when segui and bigbie were having an injection party, roberts declined.

      Most of the players that were asked to speak to Mitchell declined because they're hiding something. Why else would you decline a simple conversation?

      I'm glad Frank Thomas cleared the air and spoke to Mitchell. I have new found respect for the man in doing so.
      Agreed. This added to my newfound respect for him when he came to Oakland . The man is pure class IMO. Enjoy him up in Toronto while you can.

        I don't care. No one is pulling the wool over my eyes again.

        You associate with proven users, you have a huge stat jump in a single season and guess what.....you've got a label.

        Period.

        That's the risk you choose in this era.

            This, in my opinion, is the worst aspect of this steroids era. Every time a player has a good season, he's on steroids. You almost take out the fact that a player can have a great year and never be heard of again. It takes the humanity out of baseball. Steroids makes it harder and harder to tell between the maturation of a major league player and a guy whose getting to the top by using steroids or other substances.

                sad but true. no one can ever have a career season without public doubt. i guess that's the state of baseball for a while.

                well, maybe salaries will start coming down now that 50 players won't hit 40+ hr's every year.

                  Yeah, it had nothing to do with finally getting the starting job at second base and no longer having to look over your shoulder. People forget that he was a part-time starter with him and Jerry Hairston sharing duties at second up until 2004. Hairston was traded in the Sosa deal and Roberts was now the full-time starter. He didn't have to worry about losing his spot to someone else now, and I'm sure that took a lot of stress away from him. He gets the opportunity to start full-time in 2005 and look what happens.

                      Yep, and that's why all players share the blame in this.

                      Remember when Canseco and Caminiti said that they bet over 50% of players were using steroids and everyone laughed. My bet the number is closer to 50% rather than 10%.

                        He could be. We may never know.

                          Roger Clemens is denying the Mitchell Report claims about him.


                          Not a surprise, but still.

                            Yet you choose to believe in fairy tales about your own kind? Isn't that ironic.

                              was Bob Hamelin on the juice? What about Todd Hundley? Rick Wilkins? Prince was hitting long balls before he got to the big leagues. Him being a homerun hitter is no shock to anyone. Brady Anderson was never a huge big fly hitter, until that one season. Sammy Sosa was never a great hitter until he got to the Cubs. McGwire was hitting around the mendoza line with 25 homers, iirc, then out of nowhere found his stroke. Were all of these guys on steroids? Did some guys just mature later? It's getting harder and harder to tell. That's my point.

                                I'm no big fan of using steroids or people that use them, but Caminiti and Canseco are the some of the few guys that have proven to be completely open about this. Even though they had different motives, they are becoming harder and harder to disprove.
