Another shocker!

After years of denial, hiding from the public, and evasion from the age old question, Mark McGwire sobbed the truth about his enhancement drug abuse during his record breaking baseball career. Big Mac admitted that he regularly used steroids and human growth hormone to achieve size and strength that catapulted his numbers out of the ball park from 1990 to 1998 when he broke Roger Maris' single season home run record.

McGwire took a job with the St. Louis Cardinals as a hitting coach that he will be starting this spring. He knew that he had to come clean before he began his new career. I guess he realized he better warn the team before they tried to learn from the power hitter without his juice.

Oops! But tell me something I didn't know.

Cardinals scoop up on discounted pitcher.

The St. Louis Cardinals signed a deal today with the very bald, very 42 year old former Cy Young pitcher John Smoltz after he was released from the Boston Red Sox. Luckily for the Cardinals, Boston is still responsible for a majority of his contract, giving the birds the pitcher for a mere $100k!

Sweet jeezus, that's what I call clearance sale! Don't forget that there must be a reason it's on clearance.
