Paxton Crawford was the Sox starter the only time I've ever seen a game at Fenway, Good Friday the 13th, full moon, against the Yankees, on their first trip to Fenway in 2001. I always liked him. Then he disappeared. What happened?

so which one of us turns him on to PEDs ... or do we just go ahead and wait for creamy suggest it?

Aikens was one of the first drug bad boys. He still has a major league record all to himself, though. Anyone remember? I don't think it's been broken.

Heard an ESPN radio dude talking tonight, basically bragging, about how he was going to ignore the Mitchell report. He pointed out that since baseball still gets great attendance, then fans don't care, and neither does he. I'm sure dude tries to present himself as a journalist since he's on the radio, but when he was questioning why he should care, all I heard was "I'm a dunce sycophant who is here to hype athletes because I need to interiew them to fill show time."

He then interviewed Jayson Stark, who said the same thing. I've never been a Stark fan, since his online columns always deteriorated into 10 inches of news and views, and 60 inches of stat analysis comparing this player to that player when an ambidextrous pitcher is starting under a full moon on a Tuesday in June. But I was a bit surprised to hear him basically echo what Sports Predictor has said here, basically "it's no big deal."

Seems to me that if you fashion yourself a journalist - especially a baseball journalist - who is acting like it would be cool to ignore this report, you're not really doing your job. I understand that proof will be hard to come by and the names will not get the blood boiling, but something like this could also potentially be the story of the year.

That all said . . .I'd love to see that SOB Mike Piazza on the list. Adrian Beltre too. And any other Scott Boras client.

BYH, I know I said this before, but I'm humbled by your campaigning for me. And I'm rolling every time you switch the photo or tweak a campaign slogan.

Apparently, I'm not paying you enough.

Oh, and I would love to see someone like Eckstein on this list. Personally, I've always wondered about Brady Anderson.
