Wrigley was chock full of 'roids - UPDATES
Breaking news:
I'm not naive, I knew that some of the guys had to be on the juice, Sammy was the #1 suspect. The hubby & I theorized about others, but all these guys? Dear lord! Of course, outside of Wood, Prior, & Sosa, we have no idea if they did the stuff while being a Cubbie. But who cares, they're all cheaters. I just hope that Mia kicks Nomar's ass big time. And if she was using, I don't want to hear about it. Nope...I don't.
update: the page where I got this from has been taken down by the Chicago Tribune. The mystery thickens!
update 2: I just did a quick search in the full report and Kerry Wood isn't in it. I guess there must had been some bad intell on the report. When will the Trib learn to listen to the CIA? No Nomar, Prior, Farnsworth, Neifi, Lawton, Felix, Tavarez, or Gonzalez. No Sosa either! Other than to say he didn't respond to questions. But there was this:
I'm a tad disappointed that Mitchell wants to "move forward" and not punish any current players caught in this investigation. I'm not saying they need to be tossed, but a 30-day suspension would be fair.
HOLY COW!According to reports out of New York, Kerry Wood is the only current Cubs player on the Mitchell list, but it also includes several prominent ex-Cubs, including Sammy Sosa, Mark Prior and Nomar Garciaparra, along with Rafael Palmeiro.
Other ex-Cubs reportedly on the list are Neifi Perez, Kyle Farnsworth, Jerry Hairston, Felix Heredia, Manny Alexander, Matt Lawton, Julian Tavarez, Ismael Valdez, and Luis Gonzalez.

[Matt] Karchner said that during spring training in 1999, he observed two of his Chicago Cubs teammates inject themselves with steroids in an apartment that Karchner was sharing with them. Karchner declined to identify the players. He said that one of the players brought the steroids to the apartment but was afraid of needles and therefore asked the second player to administer the shot. The second player injected the first player with steroids in the buttocks and then injected himself. Later that season, Karchner was offered steroids by certain of his CubsKnowing who was living with who isn't that hard to figure out, so it boggles my mind why the names are named and then investigated. Then again, I haven't read this whole thing, so if it's in there, let me know.
teammates. Karchner would not disclose the names of players who offered him steroids, but he said that the conversations he had with them involved the general cost of steroids and discussions of “stacking” to build lean muscle necessary for pitchers. Karchner did not report either of these incidents to anyone at the time.
I'm a tad disappointed that Mitchell wants to "move forward" and not punish any current players caught in this investigation. I'm not saying they need to be tossed, but a 30-day suspension would be fair.
