It's gotten to a point where baseball's ever-expanding drug cartel no longer matters -- at least not to fans. Boston's David Ortiz is the latest to fess up, but let's face it, we may as well just concede that anyone who was anyone during that era (late 1990s to mid-2000s) used and abused and played us for suckers.
Those players made a conscious choice (although most of them didn't need the enhancement) and now they have to live with the consequences of tainted performances, numbers and reputations -- not to mention having the embarrassment of requesting a smaller certain piece of equipment (ahem).
Tip of the Cup. The Cubs delivered quite a potent 1-2 combination -- leadoff man Kosuke Fukudome and No. 2 hitter Ryan Theriot drove in four runs apiece -- in pummeling NL Central rival Houston for the second straight day. Chicago then rewarded winning pitcher Kevin Hart by shipping him to Pittsburgh for lefty relievers John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny.
Load of BS. Five out of nine possible save situations were blown Thursday with middle relievers again dominating the blow chart ("You want good leads? Too bad; those are for closers."): Craig Breslow, A's (1); Matt Thornton, White Sox (4); Mike Gonzalez, Braves (5); Guillermo Mota, Dodgers (2); Kyle McLellan, Cardinals (2).
