Remember Yuri Sucart? He's the guy that A-Rod said helped him get the steroids and persuaded him to use them. It turns out that while A-Rod has successfully turned his career in the right direction, Sucart has hit rock bottom. Here's more from Michael O'Keeffe : Banks began foreclosure proceedings on Yuri Sucart's Miami home and three South Florida rental properties in the months after Rodriguez's...
The baseball writers for once got both Cy Young Awards right. One thing that jumps out as a sign of the times: neither 15-game-winner Tim Lincecum nor 16-game-winner Zack Greinke (both of whom were "supported" by weak offensive teams) had so much as 25 decisions . Looking at Greinke's ERA+ of 205, tied for the 31st best league/park adjusted ERA of all time with Addie Joss' 1908, I was reminded...
No real theme to today's edition of YouTube Tuesday. It's just that I ran across this amazingly entertaining story of the role of LSD in a major league pitcher's no-hitter back in the '70s. Here's what the YouTube description has to say: In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis'...
When it comes to pitchers on the block, the Yankees are always a likely destination simply because, for the last 15 years, landing pitchers has been the team’s modus operandi. They acquired David Cone in 1995, David Wells after the 1996 season and Roger Clemens prior to 1999 campaign. In the 2000s, the names — [...] Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blog Drilling down on Roy...
I've read a bunch of articles about this incident but the No Mas TV peeps have done a terrific job telling the story in a creative and fun way. Here's what No Mas has to say about the clip: In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis' legendary LSD no-hitter. In the past few years...
from nomas Inn celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis' legendary LSD no-hitter. In the past few years weve heard all too much about performance enhancing drugs from greenies to tetrahydrogestrinone, and not enough about performance inhibiting drugs. If our evaluation of the records...

Lawyers for Roger Clemens filed a motion in Brooklyn federal court to dismiss a defamation lawsuit by the pitcher's former trainer, claiming statements that accused Brian McNamee of trying to shake down Clemens were not serious.
Joe Roden, one of the attorneys representing Clemens, said the seven-time Cy Young award winner, lawyer Rusty Hardin and others were not serious when they questioned McNamee's mental state and accused him of manufacturing evidence, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

Globe colleague Tony Massarotti spoke to Tim Wakefield about his new two-year, $5 million deal. It sounds like this will be the final contract for the 43-year-old. "Yes, I’m done after two more,’’ Wakefield said. "That’ll put me at 45." Wakefield has 175 wins with the Red Sox, 18 away from breaking the franchise record held by Roger Clemens and Cy Young. The two-year...
Full Comment's Araminta Wordsworth brings you a regular dose of international punditry at its finest. Today: Roger Clemens doesn't want to discuss allegations he used drugs to enhance his performance. Mark McGwire virtually disappeared rather than answer similar questions. Barry Bonds doesn't talk much, period. Andy Pettitte and Alex Rodriguez just wish the issue would go away. But Andre Agassi seems...
In an article he wrote for the NY Post - Right before Game 5 (of the 2003 World Series), I had back spasms. I threw five or six warm-up pitches and told pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre to get another pitcher ready because I wasn't going to make it. Mel was like, "No, you can do it." I threw maybe 10 warm-up pitches total in the bullpen -- I spent most of the time lying on my back -- and said,...
This is an old-school matchup: Pedro v Pettite. These two have never faced each other in the postseason, though their respective teams at the times (Yankees, Red Sox) faced each other in the ALCS in 99 and 2003 in some of the most dramatic postseason series in history. Let’s take a look at their numbers from those years 1999 : 1999 was Pedro’s best season, and (probably, since I’m...
