    Apparently Anderson has a biceps injury and will miss his next start.

    7 blows my mind. I can’t believe it’s real, but it has a lot of indicia of reliability.

    Re: 9

    We, the players (well former player here) are the ones completely and totally responsible for the lack of ethics, integrity, and morals so prevelant in sports today

    This is false. Fehr played a role in preventing testing (and in making testing fall waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay short of international standards). It’s true he got his players lots of money, though, which was his job.

    That Schilling column is his usual mix of bluster and non sequitur.

    The issue is whether by taking a hard line against steroid testing Fehr was really acting in the best interests of the players he represented, or not. I think that’s a fair question, and maybe not a simple one to answer. What does Schilling think about that? Hard to tell, because he completely fails to address it, instead preferring to talk about:
    1) How much money baseball players (especially stars like himself) now make
    2) Whether Fehr personally jammed a needle in anyone’s ass (i.e. “personal responsibility” reductionist bullshit).

    Then to cap it all off, he brings up Rick Helling, who repeatedly asked the union to do something about steroids and was ignored, as if that somehow supports whatever point he’s trying to make.

      Yep. It really doesn’t do much (if anything) to make me like Schilling or Fehr. I’m surprised it spun the monkey.

    The already-well-stewed plot thickens. Nothing like a bit of state-sponsored nookie from a family values-y fiscal conservative.

      That’s it — misuse of state funds (and the cheap bastard wants to only reimburse Carolina for his direct diddling expenses) — I’d say he’s now sufficiently “cooked.”

      Sanford’s office did not immediately know the cost of the Argentinean leg.

      I don’t think it’s her leg that’s gonna wind up costing a lot…

        What about the cost of an Italian leg?

            And to render matters only slightly more bizarre, it seems there’s a she-male porn star named: maria belen.

        I know whenever I think of Farrah and Michael, Justice JPS springs quickly to mind.

        Still, if there’s to be a third, I’ll take Keith Richards in the pool. And if I can buy a second square, I’ll go with Ron Dellums.
