The only time I've been shocked to hear a player admit to juicing was Neffi...

"Look, what do you want me to do?"

Matt Lawton caught me off guard as well

Neifi wasn't "juicing".

IIRC, it was amphetamines.

Yeah, CTTAI, you are right. Still, Neffi on greenies?

Didn’t seem to help much…

Maybe that explains the bunt attempt with two outs.

He was so amped up, he started coming up with all kinds of crazy thoughts.

Pitcher delivers to home…

“Maybe I should paint the house this weekend, nah, I’ll hire a guy…maybe that guy my friend knows, what’s he up to these days, I wonder…what was I supposed to get from the store again…I wonder if I should try to sneak a bunt here, they’d never see it coming.”

Neifi Bunts…Game Over.

just curious

how did the admitted steroid users bat against the admitted steroid users who were pitching?

ex
Bonds vs Gagne
Palmeiro vs Clemens
and so on

You just published what the HoF had been trying to keep a secret"

“The Juicers Wing” will open in 2014.

be sure to include Babe Ruth in that wing

since he juiced.

the entire garbage about how to categorize the current users is funny, since cheating dates back prior to Babe Ruth, so maybe they should make everyone based on the era

Not a perfect game.

A no-hitter.

I dunno, I'd think it doesn't really balance out

it’s not so black and white, IMO

Start Sean Marshall!!

Hm, his right forearm does look "Popeye big" in that picture.

Perhaps he used a topical cream...

Personally

I don’t care about HGH use. It’s the other stuff — the real stuff, the real steroids, the stuff Sammy and McGwire used.

Hell, you can find TV spots for HGH ‘stimulators’ everywhere. I’ll assume he’s not telling us the entire truth. HGH is what could be used to recover from injury faster. The Other stuff is the nasty, body building bulk-up-to-the max stuff, and Gagne was pretty bulked up.

Gagne was never injured until (I assume) he was OFF the HGH. Human Growth Hormone is something our body creates, as most should know. Less is produced as we age.
