Breaking News: Mark McGwire Reveals that there IS indeed a giant elephant in the corner of the room

Lion

Former MLB ginger slugger Mark McGwire issued a public statement on Monday revealing that he used anabolic steroids during much of his career, including his "historic" 1998 season in which he battled with fellow testicle shrunken giant Sammy Sosa for the home run record.

McGwire also uncovered several other shocking revelations:
- "MLB stands for major league baseball"
- "Sometimes the sun is out. At other times, the sun is not out."
- "Jay Leno is not funny"



...Gorilla here, sorry to interrupt Lion, but I would like to add one of my favorite bits about this story. Nobody was surprised at this admittance because of the following:




followed by,




Don't get me wrong, the general public is stupid (eg. Jersey Shore, Twilight, Lady Gaga) but not ignorant to the fact that something was not natural in the nineties and early ones. Being merely an eight year old child fascinated with the majesty of the beautiful game of baseball, I did not know better at the time. But surely the older generations should have taken action to put a stop to this travesty. What helps get me by now is the grace of one Jose Alberto Pujols. A man who is as great a baseball player as he is a human being. The game can now move forward with role models like himself and other tremendous stars such as: Grady Sizemore, Ryan Braun, Tim Lincecum, Ian Kinsler, and many more rising players.




Here are some more images I found, I don't know if they mean anything...

Cy-ing Double

Gorilla: Thursday, November 13 Cliff Lee was named the AL Cy Young Award winner. Clifford posted a record of 22-3 accompanied with a petite 2.54 ERA.  The Cy Young Award remains in C-Town as last year CC Sabathia captured the recognition as best pitcher in the AL. Before CC, the Indian's only Cy Young had been Gaylord Perry in 1974.
What makes Cliff Lee's award more impressive is that he was sent down to the minors in the middle of the season after putting up a dismal 5-8 record with an ERA of 6.29. During the spring training prior to the 2008 regular season, Lee was fighting for the fifth spot in the rotation. After an intense physical training routine in the off-season and a historic 2008 campaign, Lee is now set as the ace of the staff for 2009.
On another note, Grady Sizemore earned his second Gold Glove and his first Silver Slugger award. These recognitions come from an incredible defensive and offensive season that included a 30-30 year. By the way, our last MVP award was acheived by Al Rosen in 1953. Grady, I think its time that prestigious award returns to Cleveland.
Enjoy some clips of Grady being one of the best players in baseball. His catch at 55seconds is a personal favorite of mine.
