It looks like Andy, Roger (& Debbie), and all those others named in the Mitchell Report may have done all that supposed needling for nothing.
MSNBC reports on a new study that reveals human growth hormone isn’t making athletes stronger, and in fact, it might be hurting performance.

So, how’s the Roger Clemens conundrum affecting Andy Pettitte’s play?
So far,not too badly.
The NEW YORK TIMES reports the Yankees hurler looked pretty good in his spring training debut, holding the Phillies to a walk & a single in two innings of work during Sunday’s 7-7 tie.
Wait, a 7-7 tie? Was Bud Selig in the crowd?
But after such an eventful offseason - with the Mitchell Report and ratting out the Rocket and getting his dad to hunt down some HGH - Andy must have looked for some inspiration to help through the tough times.
And he did. Read more…
We used to broadcast the games for the Yankees’ AAA team in Columbus (OH). During that time we met Andy Pettitte a couple times either on rehab stints or at Spring Training.
Thanks to a few too many late night drinking binges in places like Toledo and Scranton, we’ve erased most of those days from our memory bank. But we do remember our brushes with Pettitte. Read more…
Hank Steinbrenner needs to learn to keep his mouth shut. First, the Baby Boss openly admitted that the Yankees were jonesin’ for Johan Santana - which could have violated MLB tampering rules. And now Hank needs a hanky, as he cries foul over baseball being “singled out” over steroids.
In a chat with the ASSOCIATED PRESS, Steinbrenner says it’s America’s other national pastime that should be put in its place over the use of performance-enhancing drugs: Read more…
Andy Pettitte, Paul LoDuca and Eric Gagne bailed out MSM outlets looking for copy fill today, as all three addressed the media over issues initially wrought by the Mitchell Report.
Of course, that fill reminded us of something you might find stamped into the side of a hill, with vents coming out. Read more…
After last week’s report on Andy Pettitte using his dad to pick up his shipments of human growth hormone, the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS digs deeper and finds out that the Yankee hurler’s childhood friend, Kelly Blair, is the one whom Tom Pettitte got his son’s HGH from.
More interesting though is how Pettittie’s sordid HGH acquisition story somehow involves Jenna Jameson, albeit indirectly.

In what I have to assume is a terrible attempt at sarcasm, Yankees catcher Jorge Posada has gone on the record saying that despite the hearings last week where Roger Clemens revealed he didn’t know what a vegan was, he completely believes that Clemens didn’t take HGH or steroids.
Posada told the DAILY NEWS, “I support him; he said he never took it and I’m behind him 100%.” Wow. It’s almost as if Posada didn’t even watch the hearings. Oh, that’s right. He didn’t. Read more…
