My man Sal Marinello is a certified health and fitness trainer who listens to the First Team on Fox religiously.

I love Sal. He's a very sharp fitness writer and trainer, and a huge sports fan.

He's also been very, very, RIGHT about alot of things involving baseball and performance enhancing drugs.

Here's his latest email to me. Chew on it, and draw your own conclusions.

Czabe,

Before the season I mentioned that a lot of guys would experience a lot of strange injuries this year as guys are adjusting to a crimp in their hgh doses. This could be a great example of that. Things like unexplained loss of velocity, triceps trouble....

Hmm..... just a heads up.

Also, have you noticed that a lot of guys are wearing baggy uniforms this year and other guys look smaller?

And the fact that Pedro Martinez' return has been pushed back indefinitely because of his hammy is ridiculous.

What kind of conditioning did he do in the off-season? Running backs in the NFL don't miss this much time with hamstring problems.

I'm not saying drugs are involved here, but that it's ridiculous that a pitcher could hurt his hammy that badly while pitching.

Later,
Sal

REACT: He may not be totally right, but I do think he's definitely "caught a piece" of right here. Two things we KNOW. 1) MLB has been rife with HGH use for the last few years. 2) The costs of getting caught now are too high, so there is a mass exodus in the HGH subculture in baseball.

My Layman's Conclusion: No mass exodus goes smoothly. Especially when highly trained athletes are now doing totally different things, to compensate for a powerful supplement that was helping change their bodies. Stay tuned.

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve: When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules". I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down. See ya, donkey, Terry Rindt Read more ...
