McCovey Chronicles, a San Francisco Giants community

Really real talk about getting real with the steroid issue, for real: off the record.

A look at performance-enhancing drugs.

Some random thoughts on Carlos Beltran, Mark McGwire and more.

Notes: or, the last time I mention Mark McGwire, at least this week

Quote Of The Hour: Bash Brother Bashin': The QOTH was delivered by Canseco during his rebuttal to McGwire saying he wont stoop to Jose's level, when he called out Big Mac's tearful apology citing the classic Jimmy Dugan line as he sheepishly turned and looked directly into the camera - "Mark, there's no crying in baseball, you know that..."

Dale Murphy comments on Mark McGwire's admission of using steroids.

Big Mac sort of admits to using steroids. Huh.

We look at the career numbers of discredited slugger Mark McGwire, and see if we can work out what they might have been without steroids.
