http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/ Reporters: Will Carroll and Scott Long en-us Sun, 13 Mar 2005 03:50:33 PST Sun, 13 Mar 2005 00:00:00 PST support@baseballtoaster.com 60 The New York Daily News drops a bomb on baseball with more revelations from the FBI. The reporters on the story did an amazing job of documenting things, even providing the exact array of steroids used. These match up with what I've been told again and again are the drugs used in baseball. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/157127.html Sun, 13 Mar 2005 03:50:33 PST Though most would probably write it the other way, I will be sharing some TV space with Jose Canseco on Monday. I'll be on Big Idea with Donny Deutsch (CNBC, check local listings for time and channel), discussing the steroid issue. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/157124.html Sun, 13 Mar 2005 01:09:22 PST Just to give my thoughts on the whole name change. The Juice is an apt name for this blog. Keep in mind that when you are at this site, you are officially "on the Juice" at that time. Also, it should be noted that Will's initial blog name, Jesusjuice.com, did not get my approval, . If you don't understand why that title is so funny, please see the Michael Jackson trial. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/157072.html Sat, 12 Mar 2005 10:07:00 PST We're changing the name, as I said, of this new little home. Scott and I pow-wowed a bit and came up with a new name that we feel no one will object to and a concept right in line with the Toaster. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/157040.html Fri, 11 Mar 2005 22:53:00 PST I was asked recently what I would say if I encountered Jose Canseco. If you read down, you'll see a list of questions I had after seeing him on "60 Minutes," but that's very different from actually being in the same room. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/156966.html Fri, 11 Mar 2005 16:38:06 PST Ok, I'm ending the joke before it started. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/156935.html Fri, 11 Mar 2005 14:44:06 PST Forbes Magazine has put out it's annual list of the 400 Richest People. As per usual, there are several sports figures on the list, so many that Forbes gave them their own section. Calling them "jocks" seems a bit of a stretch. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/156809.html Fri, 11 Mar 2005 06:08:48 PST For those of you that have been reading us at our past site, I'm sure you realize that a description of what we do is not a simple procedure. Here's how I would describe our website. The Post-Messenger is kind of like a magazine, kind of like a morning radio show, kind of like a ranting blog, kind of like....so we are kind of like a lot things, but I egotistically feel our compostition makes our site unlike anything else. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/156691.html Thu, 10 Mar 2005 14:24:00 PST As most of you know, I'm preparing to publish my second book. "The Juice: The Real Story of Baseball's Drug Problems." I'll be doing a lot of talking about it in coming months, keeping you updated on the timeline and following the issues it raises. Like you, steroids is becoming an issue that is overplayed, but it's too important to ignore. I hope you'll stick with me on this as I try to keep the focus of this issue on facts. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/156461.html Wed, 9 Mar 2005 23:43:00 PST Or should I use some Toaster metaphor? http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/156368.html Wed, 9 Mar 2005 13:41:46 PST I never thought - until the flood of email (600+ and counting as of this writing) - that Gammons' note on my column might bring people to this page. Unfortunately, the lack of link (an ESPN policy, I'm told) sent people to Google and Google lists this first. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/17568.html Mon, 7 Mar 2005 16:09:00 PST I've set up a 16 team league with Yahoo for regulars here at this weblog. It's free and will feature head to head weekly scoring. The league is SABR in style, so R, RBI, OBP, SLG for hitters and W, S, ERA, WHIP, for pitchers. Spaces will go face, so I recommend signing up as soon as you can. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/17564.html Mon, 7 Mar 2005 12:29:00 PST *Picking this year's tourney is going to be insane. I haven't watched much hoops at all this year. In fact, I don't think I've watched a full game despite the fact that A&M is actually *gulp* good this year. The parity and loss of top level talent, in addition to the freer, less technical game played today will make upsets the rule of the first round. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/17557.html Mon, 7 Mar 2005 00:00:00 PST Back in the spring of 1999, the three hottest young coaches in the NCAA basketball world were Steve Alford, Quin Snyder, and Tommy Amaker. All three had been standout guards during their playing careers and seemed to be the perfect candidate to run your big-time program. Alford and Snyder were hired at the time to run Iowa and Missouri, while Amaker was finishing his first season at Seton Hall, where he would soon move up the ladder to Michigan. So what's happened since then? Not a pretty picture. http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/17556.html Sun, 6 Mar 2005 08:45:00 PST For the past few years, Fantasy Drafts have been pretty easy to do if you had the first pick. Choice: Alex Rodriguez. Well after last year's battles in Yankee Stadium, the first choice is more of an open field. Since I only play in Sabremetric leagues, the stats we are working with are OBP, SLG, Runs, RBI's. 1. Who would your choice be for first pick in 2005? http://postmessenger.baseballtoaster.com/archives/17550.html Fri, 4 Mar 2005 11:24:00 PST
