Grimsely News

The Grimsley affidavit was unsealed:

Jose Canseco, Lenny Dykstra, Glenallen Hill and Geronimo Berroa were accused of using steroids by former major league pitcher Jason Grimsley in a federal agent's affidavit unsealed Thursday.

Grimsley also accused Chuck Knoblauch of using human growth hormone; David Segui and Allen Watson of using performance-enhancing drugs; and Rafael Palmeiro and Pete Incaviglia of taking amphetamines, according to IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky's sworn statement.

All but Incaviglia, Berroa and Watson were mentioned last week in the Mitchell Report on doping in baseball.

Allen Watson managed one good year in an eight season career. Imagine how bad he'd be without the juice!

Hmm...Dykstra and Incaviglia played on the 1993 Phillies with Curt Schilling.

Curt - any comment ? You want players to return MVP and Cy Young awards, why not punish teams that won games thanks to juiced players.

I think that you should return your world series losing share!!!

Clemens, Pettitte not named by Grimsley in affidavit

In Roger Clemens' new existence, one in which Major League Baseball believes him to have used illegal performance-enhancing drugs, Thursday constituted a good day. Such a good day, in fact, that his attorney hinted at a lawsuit against any and all accusers.

The long-awaited Jason Grimsley affidavit became public, and it turned out that the disgraced pitcher mentioned neither Clemens nor Andy Pettitte to a federal investigator despite a September 2006 Los Angeles Times story to the contrary.

and..WNBC and the 41 imaginary names from the Mitchell report

As it turned out, it was several dozen "discrepancies," with nearly half the names in WNBC's story not appearing in Mitchell's report. In fact, every name above--from Pujols to Farnsworth--can not be found in the Mitchell Report. The list was eventually yanked from the WNBC web site out of "an abundance of caution," the station reported in an updated story. In an online apology, the station acknowledged that there were "a number of discrepancies" between its list of names and those appearing in the Mitchell Report. "We mistakenly listed several players that did not appear in the report," added WNBC, which apparently thinks "several" is an accurate way to describe the 41 players who they reported as cheats

innocent until proven guilty..especially when the press cannot get the story right!

I was under the impression that every player in baseball used amphetamines. Isn't that what 'greenies' are?
