    Has this guy's stock gone up or what? From total buffoon to whistleblower to maybe the one man who saved baseball.

    That last part remains to be seen but it was his book that sparked the series of events and disclosures that we now see with the steroid investigations.

    Strange days indeed.

    Nobody wanted to believe him that's for sure...just a clown making stuff up to sell a book.

    I'm not going to go as far as saying he saved baseball, but it looks like whatever he wrote was pretty close to being completely accurate.

    He's still a clown, buffoon, whatever, but it looks like he knows what he's talking about.

    I will concede he can still pull in the ladies though.

    It was, for me, never about whether or not he was telling the truth.. Although I can't believe every word in his book.

    For me it was that he benefited from a system and culture that he played a part in creating, and then turned whistle blower for profit violating the trust of those teammates he had in the past..and I'd bet a few he convinced to take part in these activities.

    He's a douchebag.

    ha its showing a lot! Or is that my imagination?

    IDK, you shouldn't do what he did but the way baseball treated him maybe it a little ok. Wonder if it gets even stricter maybe more parity will come about? Lots of big time roids guys were on higher payroll teams...Can't wait for baseball season!

    Miguel Tejada...crying on TV today....what the hell is going on. I thought there was no crying in baseball. Maybe he was crying because all they caught him on now was lying about knowing about a teammate. If his name is on the list of 104, then maybe the other shoe drops and it's hello prision time.
