Another Steroid Name

ESPN linked Scott Schoeneweis to the signature drug scandal:

Scott Schoeneweis, the veteran New York Mets reliever and a survivor of testicular cancer, received six steroid shipments from Signature Pharmacy while playing for the Chicago White Sox in 2003 and 2004, ESPN has learned.

According to a source in Florida close to the ongoing investigation of Signature, Schoeneweis' name appears on packages that were sent to Comiskey Park while the White Sox were battling to win the AL Central title in 2003. Two more shipments arrived at the stadium in 2004, months before Schoeneweis underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow.

Another bad reliever added to the list of suspected PED users. Given that he posted lousy numbers in the 2003-2004 time frame, it appears Scott wasted his money.

He had one decent year in Toronto in 2005 but I wasn't sad to see him go. He's fine against lefties so he performed well when the Jays used him that way. I'm starting to think that for every 'star' that uses PEDs, there are 100 scrubs using them to get in or stay in.

I wonder if this had anything to do with the Mets collapse. Given that the New York Daily News has been breaking all the news regarding steroid shipments and that they've apparently had the names long before they've printed them, it seems likely that the news could have been leaked to the players before the story broke.

The Diamondbacks, Cardinals and Blue Jays all tanked when Grimsley, Ankiel and Glaus, respectively, were named.

Too far fetched?

Pitchers dope too. Hopefully people will start to realize that not just sluggers do it.
