I&#8217;ll admit there&#8217;s a bit of my own rationalization going on here, as I&#8217;m always looking for ways to defend the amount of coffee I consume each week.

Sammy Sosa&#8217;s name gets added to the list of those who used PED&#8217;s. Here&#8217;s two writers who get it, Rick Telander and Buster Olney, and I particularly love Olney&#8217;s suggestion for clean players. But Paul Konerko&#8230;you need to get a clue.
