And they had just as many players doing stuff - all the teams. I guarantee you, go through every team in baseball and they all have the same basic percentage of players doing stuff. They just weren't as good as us."

"You think the Red Sox didn't have players doing stuff back then? Give me a break. They just weren't as good as us, and neither was anybody else."

Once again, the Yankees are becoming a joke.

Every team was using it, unfortionatly the only teams to ratted out were the Yankees and the Mets.

No teams were ratted out. It was players ratting out other players. According to those players (taken all from the Mitchell report), the Yankees were the clear favorite in terms of players who broke the rules. I'm not saying the Yankees dynasty that was the late 90's is tarnished, but it's quite odd that the biggest names in the sport who got caught (outside of Barry Bonds) all happened to wear Yankee pinstripes at one time or another.

Giambi and Sheffield both 100% took steroids for years upon years, that's been known since the BALCO scandal nearly three years ago.

Roger Clemens, Jason Grimsley, Glenallen Hill, David Justice, Chuck Knoblauch, Denny Neagle, Andy Pettite, Mike Stanton, Ron Villone, Rondell White among others were also ratted out.

Pretty much 50-75% of the people implicated have Yankee ties. Again, not taking anything away from those teams, but there isn't a doubt in my mind that many higher-ups within the Yankee organization knew full well what their players were doing.

I can't wait until Roger Clemens is made into a complete and utter buffoon in a week.

Well it should be proven by this time next week that he lied about not using steroids, etc. I think that will be fun.

I always felt he did do it, but for the sake of the game I hope he doesn't.

The Yankees would be OK if Hank would just shut up, stay in the background, and let the baseball people make the decisions.

Exactly, but he won't. He's a Steinbrenner.

OK, but now I need a title for the thread. Here's what I've come up with so far.

The Yankees will be great in 2008. (It rhymes if you say it right)

Life without Roger - The Yankees shoot for the top.

How about those Yankees - the sequel.

Let's talk about the Yankees.
