It&#39;s time to fess up. We were among the hordes of skeptics (sheep?) who boldly proclaimed drug-testing would blow a hole in the number of runs and home runs we&#39;d see in 2004.

The Yankees, who have bashed more home runs than any other big league team this season, scrounged up a victory without getting a hit in a decisive ninth inning.

Jason Giambi did not fall on his sword. He did not say in crisp, clear tones, "Yes, I used steroids." But he didn't have to.

It&#39;s not easy to compile a passer rating of 0.00. All the greats have tried. Most have failed. There was Atlanta&#39;s Kurt Kittner.

I find myself privately hoping that Barry Bonds gets nailed. Is that bad? Is it un-American? He&#39;s still innocent, you know, although less innocent than he was a few days ago.

Michael Young didn&#39;t let Mark Mulder get out of another bases-loaded jam, and made sure the Texas Rangers kept alive their long-shot chance in the AL West.

The Atlanta Braves don&#39;t have the dominating pitching or explosive hitting of previous years, but they do have a penchant for scratching out wins, as they did Sunday, beating

The evidence may not yet be persuasive in the box score, but there are signs Kevin Youkilis's offensive free fall is abating. Given his nature, it wouldn't have been surprising to see him out in full uniform helping the grounds crew roll the tarp off the diamond at U.S. Cellular Field, just so he could get some more ...

Ichiro Suzuki&#39;s 56 hits in August are still impressive -- only they&#39;re not the most in a month by a major leaguer in 68 years as originally reported.

Sammy Sosa&#39;s leaping ability was criticized Tuesday, but he left his feet at the right time Wednesday. Sosa&#39;s diving catch in the eighth inning Wednesday night helped

t least the walls inside the Yankees&#39; clubhouse were left intact yesterday. The Yankees actually did not hit much of anything before they got dressed and went home.

Passing Cy Young didn't faze Greg Maddux. Moving ahead of his older brother was a bit more exciting.

Whatever the reason, No. 700 seems like the poor stepchild of Barry Bonds&#39; famous homers -- the underappreciated one, the one that doesn&#39;t quite get the attention it deserves.

Steroids boost the body, but donât expect a âgotchaâ in a playerâs statistics.
