So Major League Baseball did a great thing by promoting prostate cancer awareness on Father’s Day. Anyone else think it is funny and slightly ironic that a guy with the last name of Colon was the starting pitcher versus the Padres?

The Onion is one of the funniest online satire “newspapers” around. Looks like they’ve set their sights on the Padres:

I don’t read deadspin that often, but it appears that they’ve gotten some of the names from the Grimsley case (if you don’t know who Jason Grimsley is, read this, this or this). One of the names they are throwing out is Chris Mihlfeld from Kansas City (formerly a trainer for the Kansas City Royals). The article doesn’t claim that he is a distributor, but it does state that he turned Grimsley onto a source who later provided him amphetamines, steroids, HGH, etc.

Chris Mihlfeld is Albert Pujols’ very close friend and personal trainer.

Allow that to fire up your synapses for a second.

While they aren’t claiming that Pujols has done steroids or HGH, the fact that his trainer is aware and informing others of ways to get illicit substances, doesn’t look very good. I’m not a person who believes in guilt by association, but there’s an old saying that says “if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat”…

Right now, I’m getting the same feeling I got when I found out that Dwight Gooden (one of my fave players at the time) was a cokehead. Bummer.

This is going to get significantly worse before it gets any better, and I’d imagine that both Mihlfeld and anyone connected to him will be getting a visit from the feds very soon (if they haven’t already).

Here’s a direct link to the article:

Ugh.
