Ok, I didn't pay attention to baseball in a while and what happens? Craziness!
A's in first place for the Wild Card ahead of the Yanks and just 2 games behind the Angels?!?!?! Billy Beane is my daddy.
Raphael Palmeiro tests positive for steroids. He can kiss his HOF plaque goodbye. And it turns out that Canseco might have at least somewhat right. I figured Palmeiro was the least likely person among the ones he named to be actually using. But then again Palmeiro's career did take off the year Canseco joined the Rangers (for you conspiracy fans out there, so did Pudge's and Juan Gone's).
And oh yeah, Flyingfox, I still don't agree with your point but that seems mute now. I'd much MUCH rather discuss Palmeiro and A's than Dustin Mohr.
