  • By the way... not that Neyer is always right or anything like that, but:

    Dan (Chandler, Arizona): It looks like the national media wants anyone but Webb to win the CY. His stats say he is the clear choice. Why the snub???

    Rob Neyer: (1:13 PM ET ) I disagree with your basic premise. I've been in Webb's corner all season, but the fact is that Oswalt has essentially caught him. And if Webb doesn't win this weekend, I think Oswalt will get some support due to his huge win yesterday.
    Must be because we share the same first name or something. :shrug:

    • It comes down the last day. St. Louis is up 1.5 games over Houston. Houston has to win tommorow and if St. Louis loses, they'll have to play the make up game against San Fran because there would only be a .5 game seperating the two. If the Cards lose that, then tie breaker time.

      But, I posted because of this:



      LOS ANGELES -- Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and Miguel Tejada were among the players that a former major league pitcher accused of using performance-enhancing drugs, according to a federal agent's affidavit, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday on its website.

      The agent for Clemens and Pettitte denied the accusations. Baltimore teammates Brian Roberts, Jay Gibbons and Tejada also were implicated in the sworn statement, the Times said; an Orioles spokeswoman said the team had not seen the report and had no comment.

      In June, federal agents searched reliever Jason Grimsley's home in Arizona after the pitcher admitted using human growth hormone, steroids and amphetamines. Grimsley was later released by the Arizona Diamondbacks and suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball, and has not played since then.

      In a 20-page search warrant affidavit signed by IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky, the Times reported, he said Grimsley identified other players who had used drugs. Those names were blacked out when the document was released.

      The Times said an anonymous source with access to the document -- minus the crossouts -- let the newspaper see it, but kept the copy. The Times said a second source who had identified the other players provided additional details about the document.

      According to the affidavit, the Times said, Grimsley told investigators Clemens and Pettitte "used athletic performance-enhancing drugs."

      The affidavit also alleged Grimsley told federal agents that Roberts, Gibbons and Tejada "took anabolic steroids."

      ...


      That former player is Jason Grimsley, the former D-Backs pitcher who was reported to have 'named names'. Of course denials all around

      • StL will pull it off, but if they don't (3 consecutive losses, plus HOU winning tomorrow) it will be one for the ages ...

          • To be fair, Ozzy, both teams in the AL Central are going to the playoffs regardless.

              • Yep... so who cares who wins the division vs. who gets the wild card?

                • I wonder if we'll ever see Apoc again?

                  Astros lose 3-1, giving the division to the St. Louis Cardinals. Where is the "[The Astros] are going to make the playoffs" confidence now?

                          • Go Cards

                            I like LaRussa saving Carptenter for the playoffs, knowing that surely they could win 1 out of 3 games with someone else. Or the Astros lose one, as it turned out

                            • It appears Joe Mauer has won the AL batting title as Jeter went 1 for 5 today .
