Another mild surprise on my list is Al Ripmeister.

"Anobolic Al ",as he was called, was famous for his pure speed and base stealing skills as a pinch runner for many years.

Al was released by his last team when it was obvious he could no longer dress himself for games.

He went on to win 4 Mr Universe titles before becoming enraged at a gay bar and is now serving time for 15 counts of assault and battery.

He pledges to bulk up and get back into baseball.

I like the Jurassic Park sign in the background. Seems like they are creating more than just dinosaurs there.

This pick was without a doubt my toughest because you dont want to name somebody unless its fairly obvious.

But appearances aside, my next pick is Johnny "Acorn Balls" Freikman

Johhny was a banjo hitting second basemen who could turn the DP with the best of them due to his fluid body movemnet.

I think Johnny fooled a lot of people because you wouldn't think that he was using just by looking at him. But I am sure the Mitchell report will identify him as a vilolater.

How else could he have hit all those bloop singles?

What are the odds another guy having the same physique and nickname as me?

Weird.

Well you have to hand it to the paparazzi to stay on Neutron14's trail here! They caught up with him at a posh Holloywood sushi bar... with a weight room Hmm..
It appears the new goatee disguise didn't fool them at all .

My next pick wont be on a lot of peoples list because of the what we will call the "squimish factor", but Angelo "Thunderthighs " Bonacelli is a sure thing in my opinion.

"Angie" , as she is now called since the operation, was a power hitting 3rd basemen who folks suspected for years of being on the juice. But since he always wore baggy clothes and stayed so long in the shower he was able to hide what was really inside.

Angie says she is much happier now in her new life still but misses the guys a lot. Ill bet.

All picks must be in by noon tomorrow - the report is due out by 1:00 tomorrow afternoon. Any picks after 12:00 will not be counted.

I wish all participants the best of luck, although PB seems to have picked a hell of a squad. I think we're all doomed.

How do you think the "sorry dear I have a headache" excuse would go over here???

Is it too late to nominate CNT?

Looks like George and Elliott are going to take an early lead, and Goldy misses an early lay-up by leaving Andy Pettite off his roster.

Report



I'm making an executive decision "on the fly", and taking Roger Clemens and Andy Pettite out of contention for any rosters submitted from now until noon... And I can see they're really streaming in now, so this was a move I had to make.

Nothing in the report should be surprising.

I think most of us figured out a while back that steroid use was rampant.

I wonder whether the more the proof regarding its widespread use, the less the significance regarding its effect on performance. Not everybody broke records. Guys who were using drugs had bad years while juiced up.

Which makes baseball look even more ridiculous. Way too much risk in using vs any truly proven reward.

Add David Justice, Miguel Tejada, Mike Stanton, Brian Roberts and....

Chuck Knoblauch.


Know we know why he couldn't throw the ball to 1st base at the end of his illustrious career.

Because I really didn't throw solid rules around this thing (and frankly didn't care to, because I thought it was an amusing premise for a "fantasy" game), we'll count it, but I don't think that technically Barry Bonds was implicated directly in the report. Yes, he was mentioned in it, but I believe he only appeared because he was asked to be interviewed as a link to BALCO.

The rest of the winners on your roster were implicated as having "purchased or used" PED's.

Maybe I have this wrong - I'll do more research when I get home. But like I say, I don't really care one way or the other for purposes of this contest. I'm just pissed that Phil Niekro wasn't on it... thought I nailed that one!

Gotta say I expected a lot more names to be named, but I was surprised by some. I had thought there were a few that were possibilities that were named, but there were some that knocked my socks off.

Crazy that 1 guy was able to supply so many. Blows my mind.

Like I said earlier. If Clemens wasn't on your list, your team is hurting. He, in my opinion, was the most obvious juicer of them all.

Again - I'm at work at the moment, so I'll provide an "official" count later, but if my preliminary calculations are correct, PB, Neut & CNT all posted bagels in the competition.

No "Dirty Needles", no "Popeye", no "Acorn Balls", no "Whack-a-Mole Superstar".

Sorry fellas.

Sorry Govs,
Don't care enough about baseball to know who is juicin to play the game, actually I liked PB's list better, and BTW Neut thanks for the picture highlighting my 6-pack I hope the kids see what happens when you use this junk!!

Now entertainers are turning up in steroid investivations! Mary J. Bleige, 50 Cent, Wyclef... Awesome!

I’m surprised this guy didn’t turn up in the Mitchell report. How else could he have serviced so many sections in one night? Now that they are after entertainers, he might just turn up after all.

Is she kidding? This is a little jailhouse humor, right? You stand there for 2 years years telling everybody and their mother (who evidently works for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT) that you haven't done anything wrong, then when you get caught, you want to get cut loose early? She's lucky she only got 6 months.

Wonder if Barry Bonds will get a comparable sentence if (when) he's convicted next year?

With liberty and "special considerations" for all (that have connections)
