OT: Breaking the scale news ;)

Tony Gwynn admitted Friday to using cheeseburgers to enhance his performace during his playing career.

"McDonalds, Burger King, Jack in the Box. I went wherever I needed to go to get them." Gwynn faces possible purgery charges after last year's appearance before Congress when he adamantly pointed at Congress members saying "I have never taken cheeseburgers, period. I do not know how to make it any clearer than that."

Also facing possible indictment is the Hamburglar, who allegedly aided Gwynn in gaining access to the cheeseburgers. Gwynn is also apparently set to release a tell-all book this coming fall in which he implicates former MLB players John Kruk and Cecil Fielder in this scandal.

I saw "enhance his performance" and freaked out.

I use Caffine to enahnce my performance. The trick is to use the proper balance of alcohol to counter its effects at night.

Baseball sucks. Any sport where a guy can miss time because he collided with another guy while running in a straight line and actually fell on the ground is a weak one. No wonder they have to take steroids...they have inferiority complexes.

Redbull and Vodka. Stops your heart and pickles the liver. What more can you ask from from a drink.

Hah! No one has ever questioned why T. Gwynn's hat sized tripled from his rookie year to the time he retired.

Yeah, but he added just plain ol fat to his frame.

He was a student of the Babe Ruth school of nutrition to be sure. He could hit the hell out of the ball though. He really did a disservice to himself by not taking better care of his body. I don't think he would have broken down the way he did if he wasn't carrying all of the extra weight. Who knows where his hit totals would be today.

Oh well...he still was a great player...one of the best that no one ever heard of...and he'll wind up in the hall of fame.

I'm sure if times were different, and RAK was still alive there'd be a Gwynn burger at the McDonalds.

Cheeseburgers seem to have worked for Cecil Fielder there for a couple years also but it seems if you go to far your game flops entirly.

Yep and it produced a super sized son, but I hear Jr has lost some weight and is playing better.

[Garcia Bronco]

the cattle used for the burgers are fed steriods and hormones....so he was a cheater too.

[Gcver2ver3]

i have always enjoyed cheeseburgers

[FantomForce]

I always wondered, but damn if those cheeseburgers give such a good result then why shouldn't I start, oh wait I think it might shrink my nuts and give me "Mike Tyson" voiceROFL!

You guys are all kidding around, sure, but the superstar posterboy for baseball's post-steroid era was linked to HGH today ... Albert Pujols' trainer was mentioned in the Grimsley web that sprouted earlier in the week.

On Countdown with Olbermann there was a baseball guest who was contrasting Pujols very lukewarm early years in the minor leagues with what he is doing today, and it sounds pretty ominous.

And Juan Gonzalez - in semi-pro ball?! What's up with that?

They better start testing for designer steroids and HGH ...
