Alex Rodriguez Details Steroid Abuse at Press Conference

Yesterday, Yankees slugger Alex Rodridguez addressed his steroid issue once again but this time in much greater detail. Who knows whether he is being completely honest with us (I highly doubt that) but it was interesting to note that A-Rod went into much greater detail than any other player who has admitted to using steroids. The whole "boli" thing seems a little odd, but Rodriguez was pretty detailed in saying how often he took steroids, when during the season and how it affected his play.

Tim Lincecum this morning became the second San Francisco Giant to win baseball's most coveted pitching honor and the first since Mike McCormick in 1967.

Brandon Webb of Arizona finished second with four first-place votes and 73 points. The Mets' Johan Santana was third with four first-place votes and 55 points.

CC Sabathia of Milwaukee got the final first-place vote but finished fifth behind Brad Lidge, the Philadelphia closer.
