  I was really looking forward to writing a post today. I was going to write about the wacky greatness of Rickey Henderson - I hope Rickey gives his entire induction speech in the third person - and I was going to write about how I don't consider Jim Rice to be worthy of the Hall of Fame, not more than Andre Dawson and Dale Murphy - Rice's teammate Dwight Evans' stats were just as good as Rice's, and Evans was the far superior outfielder, but Evans got nowhere near the Hall when he was eligible.

• Barry Bonds Might Not Go to Jail

  As far as I'm concerned, the big news is that Barry Bonds might be getting off. Yep, that's right. Barry Bonds might not be going to jail. For those who don't know all of the details, but do know that Bonds is going on trial in March, know this. He's not going on trial for using steroids. He's going on trial for perjury, for supposedly lying to a Federal grand jury about whether he ever used steroids. Bonds stated that he never used steroids. The Feds, having possession of his records, k

• Tejada's Turn Under the Grand Jury Microscope

  When word came out that a grand jury had been convened to investigate Roger Clemens, Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane asked him to not come to the Astros camp for spring training. I wonder if Drayton is going to ask the same thing of Miguel Tejada. Because it is now being reported that the Feds, after a year of investigation, are convening a grand jury to look into whether Miguel Tejada lied to Federal investigators who were investigating Rafael Palmeiro.

• This Just In: Miguel Tejada Charged With Lying to Congress About the Steroids

  It's just now being reported that charges are being brought against Houston Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada for lying to Congress. Details are still slight and sketchy, so it's not known if it's a full-on perjury charge, or if they're getting at him for interfering with the investigation. Tejada was interviewed by Congressional investigators following Rafael Palmeiro's failing of a steroid test. Palmeiro had only months earlier sworn to Congress that he had never used steroids. And Tejada

• Miguel Tejada Expected to Plead Guilty of Perjury; A-Rod Still a Scapegoat

  At ten o'clock this morning, a federal prosecutor and Miguel Tejada will appear in front of a U.S. District Court judge and a six-page criminal information will be entered before the Court. It is expected that, at that time, Tejada will plead guilty to lying before Congress. It is thought that the prosecution will then ask the judge to accept the terms of a plea agreement that has been entered into between Tejada and the Feds. The judge does not have to accept this agreement, but generally,

• Astros Spring Training Not Without Its Ups and Downs

  You might not realize this if you've only been watching ESPN or paying attention to the national sports media, but the New York Yankees aren't the only team with players reporting to spring training, and Alex Rodriguez isn't the only player in baseball. So I thought I would help out and fill you in on some of the goings on at Astros camp in Kissimmee, Florida. In brief, we've definitely learned that Drayton McLane is a liar and a hypocrite. And that Roy Oswalt is a blowhard. That Miguel Tej

• Esmailyn "Smiley" Gonzalez, Say Hello to Carlos Alvarez Daniel Lugo. Oh, You've Already Met?

  Since he has been traded to the Houston Astros, Miguel Tejada has been fingered as a steroids user. It was discovered that he lied about his age - he's two years older than he told everyone - and the name on his birth certificate doesn't quite match the name he plays under. And now there's that whole convicted criminal who lied to Congress thing he's got going on at the moment. Tejada's sentencing is set for March 26, and he's actually facing a year in jail. It's doubtful that will happen, b

• That Steroids List Sounds True, Even If It Isn't

  Via the blog The Big Lead (linking to the blog Rotoinfo) comes the most eagerly sought list of names in years. That's right, this is the supposed list of the 104 MLB players who failed the 2003 steroids/HGH drug testing.  The Big Lead breaks down the list and provides a couple of reasons for why this list is not the actual list, including the exclusion of Jason Grimsley's name, which is kind of a killer to the list because Grimsley has admitted to being one of the 104 players to fail th
