Groundswell?
As Kevin Kernan notes, both Reggie Jackson and Curt Schilling are calling for the other 103 names to be released:
Mr. October though, did make this telling comment to The Post yesterday: "They caught 104 guys," Reggie asked, pausing for effect, before adding, "Why would they only name one?"
Jackson did not want to comment further, but he had made his excellent conspiracy-theory point. Exactly who is protecting the other 103 and why?
The mystery is why has only Rodriguez's name been leaked? Even Schilling believes it's time to come clean with all the names.
On his blog, "Pitches", Schilling wrote yesterday: "I'd be all for the 104 positives being named, and the game moving on if that is at all possible. In my opinion, if you don't do that, then the other 600-700 players are going to be guilty by association, forever."
Someone is talking about this list, because Kernan goes on to say "there are supposed to be some big, big stars, none though as big and bright as Rodriguez." It makes you wonder if some of the unsigned free agents might pop up.

Since A-Rod has always had gaudy numbers, I think he took steroids just to fit in, you know, be one of the guys and be more likable.
You know, I can't help but wonder more and more -- how was the '03 testing anonymous if names were attached to the samples? Sounds fishier to me by the moment. Either it was anonymous or it wasn't. It can't be both ways. If it was anonymous, then how would anyone know any name that failed? And if it wasn't anonymous, then MLB lied to the players about it being anonymous and they had to have had some sinister motive behind it. Serious. That's not a conspiracy theory, that's reality. Something's wrong with this whole picture.

The lab that did the testing kept track of who belonged to which sample. The resulting report that they provided to MLB, however, didn't included any names. So it's generally called "anonymous," because in the eyes of baseball, it was.
The names came to light because they were found at the lab during the investigation, not via MLB.
