All Quiet on the Steroid Front

"I talked to the parents individually and said, 'Paul is probably not going to be here. If you want your money back, you can get it back. But we're committed to it. We'll give you the same instruction back as Paul would give.' They all stayed."
(Ray Alonzo -- of Paul Lo Duca's Baseball Camp, via AZ Central.com, 12/19/2007)

Mum's (still) the word for Lo Duca. And he no-showed for 25 kids at his own baseball camp in Arizona...

Should be hearing from him any day now, right?

Will he go the Roger Clemens route or the Brian Roberts route? Or will it be more of a "Get over it" route?

Wonder what type of suspension Bud'll hand down: 50 games?

Meanwhile...

'08 Schedule released. No parking spaces = three weekday afternoon games, but that's ok, The Nationals Enquirer staff prefers night games during the week anyway. Hey, how many days until pitchers and catchers report?

Mysterious "off field issues" contributed to FelipE's terrible '07. Not surprisingly, he's looking to bounce back in '08!
