Might as well keep it in here to keep it from cluttering up the Phils' topic.

Leaked names are Rocket, Rickey Hnderson, Andy Pettite, and Cal Ripken, Jr. Wonder who else is going to be on here.

Jesus...they went right for the jugular.

I honestly wouldn't have suspected Ripken.

If Juan Samuel's on there, then all my childhood illusions would be shattered.

I'll suspect any player that played in the 90's and early 2000's

But Ripken had Milk...he didn't need that stuff.

Seriously, if Ripken is dirty, I'm betting Gillick's whole squad was dirty back then. They had Palmeiro, Ripken, Brady Anderson, Robby Alomar, Chris Hoiles popped off for 30 HRs one year...

Mussina, Armando Benitez, and Boomer Wells were also on those teams.

Boomer got a roid body all the way.

How early in the 90s, KB?

Gotta suspect Frank Thomas is on there, probably Dykstra, maybe Schilling.

I'd be surprised if Bo Jackson was on there.

And can the Phils have the World Series if Joe Carter's on it?

Seriously, I think everyone was on it then. I'm not saying MLB had a candy dish of roids in every lockerroom, but they didn't want to stop it.

I'll be shocked if they release a list of names of guys that didn't use, and it has 80 names on it.

Frank Thomas is almost assuredly not on it. He was the only player that was fighting for stricter drug testing

"Probably Dykstra".

Um, yeah.

And The Birds "Probably Suck" too.


I'll say KB posts the list 1st.

Also, most take Roids just to heal quicker, so Im not actually goin to be that stunned to see the guy who played that many consecutive games be on the list (Ripkin Jr)

In hindsight Ripken isn't shocking (because no one really is), but I think this "taking roids to heal faster" is a myth in a lot of ways.

Not that it doesn't have some medical merit (especially with HGH), but I think they've simply found that story gets the least venom in terms of reaction.

Hey, my 93 memories are hazy. Probably has to do with that wicked mix of Mad Dog and Coconut Kalhua...

Whether or not Lenny is on there, he's already been implicated by an associate and another guy who admitted to injecting him with some.

Plus Dykstra used to openly brag about his roid use in public places, mostly bars.

Also, Pettite was on that Jason Grimsley list. There better be some new names here

Is there going to be public outrage for an asterix next to Ripken's record? It will be interesting to see the reactions to these guys.

Yeah, I mean, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that almost all the records and feats performed in the last 20 years are tainted in some way.

I think they should be.

They shoudl narrow down the years they believe it was the biggest problem (and it may still be happening) and have a "Steroid Era" asterisk next to record or feats accomplished within that window.

I know...shockers all.

Good to see Pujols on the list.

Glad Griffey and Rodriguez aren't leaked yet. Those are the two of the select players I'm pinning my hopes on.
