Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jason Grimsley admitted taking illegal performance-enhancing drugs and said amphetamines are used "like aspirin" in major league clubhouses, according to a document filed by the lead federal investigator in baseball's steroids scandal.

Grimsley, a 15-year veteran of seven teams, also identified "several other Major League Baseball players by name whom he suspected of using anabolic steroids or human growth hormone," which baseball has banned.

Names of other players were redacted in the search-warrant affidavit, which was obtained Tuesday by The Arizona Republic.

It does improve fast twitch response though. That in turn can give you an extra fraction of a second to see the ball.In the mlb, that can make all the difference. Go A's.

A's suck.

That's true...but the rule was changed in the late 1890's before Ruth started playing. There also used to be nine balls in a walk, the pitcher used to be able to take a running start, and they used to fine player $25 for swearing, damnit!

I fucking hate the Cubs and Im glad to see that they are playing like shit. For once the Brewers can look down in the standings at them. Anybody remember the classic Lee Elia tirade??? sports meltdowns are the best.

PM me an e-mail address, Ive got it. That's my third favorite sports meltdown, behind Tommy Lasorda going postal over Dave Kingman, and "Chris" Everett attacking Jim Rome on ESPN2.

I've also got the full set of Cubs "Suck-cessories."

'89 - Present is just one big asterik *

On July 15, 1994, Belle's bat was confiscated by umpire Dave Phillips after White Sox manager Gene Lamont voiced his suspicion that the bat was corked. The Indians knew it was corked, and set out to replace the bat, which Phillips had put in his locker. During the game, Indians pitcher Jason Grimsley wriggled through a crawl space above the ceiling above the umpires' locker room, dropped through an escape hatch, and replaced the corked model with a conventional one. "My heart was going 1,000 miles a second," said Grimsley. "I just rolled the dice, a crapshoot."


But the caper was easily found out -- the faux Belle model Grimsley had put in Phillips locker had Paul Sorrento's name on it. Belle was suspended for seven games. In his autobiography, released just a few weeks ago, former Belle teammate Omar Vizquel wrote about the "Batgate" incident: "I can be naive at times, but I'm not stupid. Certainly not stupid enough to steal Albert's corked bat and replace it with one that looked completely different -- one that was autographed by Paul Sorrento. That wasn't even a nice try. The problem, of course, was that all of Albert's bats were corked."

I hope all of the cheaters get shit on, Old Testament style. Kennesaw Mountain Landis has been rolling in his grave for years now (at least since that fake other league instituted the designated hitter) yet he would still be a more apt commissioner in his decrepit state than the fucking patsy that we have now, Selig. You do realize he made his money selling used cars, bought and ran the Brewers into the ground, and yet has "run" baseball for a decade now. Are the fucking kidding?AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHH!

We need a man to stand up, a bulldog, someone who will shit chunks of the "star" players, press, and union managers who dare to cross him. For the love of God and baseball is there anyone who can answer the bell for my beloved game?

Bravo. I nominate Floofin as next commisioner.

Watch Clemson go ripping through the super-regionals into the CWS if you want to see some good baseball. They just had 10 players drafted by the majors.

Fukin' Fullerton State.

Wonder what Courtney thought of the CWS?
