Report: House presses for testimony on steroids ESPN.com news services It turns out several current and former Major League Baseball players will not have to R.S.V.P. to a March 17 hearing on steroid use. Rather than choosing the invitation route, Congress will use its subpoena power to generate appearances by Jose Canseco, Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi, Orioles outfielder Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire and others, The Baltimore Sun reported on its Web site Tuesday. The subpoenas will be the issued beginning Wednesday by the House Committee on Government Reform, government officials familiar with the process told The Sun. Canseco already accepted Congress' invitation on March 3 to testify before a House committee, but his attorney said Canseco would appear only if given immunity. "Jose has always said he's more than happy to do that, welcomes it, and has been hopeful that Major League Baseball and the player's association will start being more forthright in the revelations that he has made in the book," Robert Saunooke told Fox Sports Radio. The Orioles' Rafael Palmeiro, Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, and Frank Thomas of the White Sox are also due to receive subpoenas, The Sun reported. According to the newspaper's story, Barry Bonds -- whose role in baseball's steroids scandal has been questioned for the last year -- is not on Congress' list. In his book released last month, "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big," Canseco admits using steroids and alleges that McGwire often injected the drugs with him. Canseco also said he introduced steroids to former Texas Rangers teammates, including Palmeiro. Palmeiro, McGwire, Ivan Rodriguez, Bret Boone and others named by Canseco have denied using the performance-enhancing drugs.

QUOTE(soxman35 @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 06:06 PM) do you like it I heard its definately worth the $20 . Im just too into mvp 2005.

we are shooting for last place in ST. Which doesnt mean anything thankfully.

This is one lopsided poll

QUOTE(soxman35 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) I dont know how the brackets are going turn out but here are my final four right now Illinois wake forerst North Carolina Boston College I'll hold off a week and wait for the bracket to come out.

QUOTE(soxman35 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) they lost to them alreadyand have not been playing good in there last 3 games

QUOTE(soxman35 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 06:40 PM) bucks are going to win because the bulls suck more then the bucks

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 05:56 PM) The Hyenas are used as intimidation for debt collectors thanks for the article

I luuuvvvv To watch ray run!

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) Yeah, I thought it was unfair to have a poll where anyone who only likes one of those teams will vote that team. If you like neither you can't vote. A minute population of Soxtalk like both.

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 02:50 PM) i always get picked off maybe i just take to big of a lead I hear a lot of gamers complain that the base stealers are too slow. You may want to change the sliders a couple notches for both teams. I put it at plus 2 . I usually steal 75-80% of my bases this way with pods.

so is that why willie was playing ss the other day?

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) I say f*** Illinois all the time. I say f*** the Packers all the time, as a Falcons fan I have nothing to be jealous of. Your assumption is pretty poor as less than half of the members on Soxtalk are Illinois fans and less than 75% are Bulls fans. This poll is stupid and egotistical. then you dont have to participate in it.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) I've always hated Illinois. I see no reason to call this sour grapes, but then again you just assume that to make yourself and your team sound better. I dont say "f*** (fill in the blank) " if I was not jealous of some sort. This poll was made because Id say a big percentage of members on soxtalk are both Illini and bull fans.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 01:25 AM) What a foolish poll. I've said it before and I'll say it again: f*** Illinois. sour grapes

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 12:06 AM) What do you guys (so far) think is the hardest pitch to hit in the game? And, the hardest pitcher, too? For both accounts, I'll go with Johan Santana, and his circle-changeup -- in two games against him, I've been held to three hits over 18 innings, no runs. His changeup goes from 80 MPH, and that damn pitch looks like it's a foot off the plate, and then it hits the outside corner, and then he comes back with a 97 MPH heater. Ugh. And, while I haven't faced him yet, I assume Shingo is damn hard to hit. 56 MPH frisbee, followed by a 88 MPH heater... santana is tough, so is oswalt.

I'd go Illini, even though I want both damnit!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) Bulls are now up 3 on 9th place Phily, we're gonna have to find a way to pull games out this month without Deng. after the way the bulls played tonight I am convinced they will pull through without Deng. SA on the road has to be the toughest win in the nba right now.
