Or at least that's what he said tonight in the closing minutes of his radio show. No, really. Was Watching caught the conversation: I was pretty surprised at what Kennedy had to say there. In wanting to make a point about the Mitchell Report not being the all-inclusive bible of naming PED users, Kevin Kennedy said that a current colleague of his, who was with the Boston Red Sox in 2004, told him that he (the colleague) witnessed, for a fact, a member of the '04 Red Sox injecting himself in the buttocks with a needle full of PEDs. Kennedy said that the user is no longer a member of the Red Sox - but, he was a player on the team that won the ring in 2004. As per Kennedy, his colleague said that the "user" was giving a demo (to the "colleague") on how to do the injection.Well then! Good to know, Mr. Kennedy. Care to elaborate a little bit? Care to tell, you know, George Mitchell? Because I think he might like to know that an open-air demonstration of steroid use -- a friendly how-to, if you will -- was going on in a World Series winner's clubhouse.
This is where you, non-Red Sox fan, interject an angry comment about Mitchell's connection to the Red Sox. And you may have a point. But either way, this proves a few things: 1. Kevin Kennedy is either oblivious or just an idiot; and 2. Steroids are kind of a big deal. But you already knew that. Oh, and: 3. Rob Dibble and Kevin Kennedy have a radio show together? What?

Asterisk 2004! As in 2004*!
So THAT'S how they were to come back with only 6 outs to go from being swept by the Yankees. A quick needle in the butt and all of a sudden...perennial losers become superstars!
New England Sports teams = CHEATING!! Waiting for the reason why the Boston Celtics are winning so much after being a lottery team just last year!!
No respect for New England team...whatsoever!! You want to bea New York so bad you have to cheat!

Kevin's show must need better ratings. The show is for entertainment, is it not?

Postman E...Obviously you're a crying Yankees Fan...Mitchell DID list numerous ex Red Sox players in his report. So what is your point? If a Trainer on any of the other MLB teams came forward with testimony, I am sure Mitchell would of pursued, as well. But, in this case McNamee (a Yankees Trainer) provided the testimony. Ergo most of his "medical" activities involved Yankee players.DUH
Btw, I am not a Red Sox fan...

If I was going to be interegated by Congress I am refusing until a total investingation is done and every player is named. That should include Mitchell's protected Red Sox If 40% or more players used drugs, then it is a moot point. Just draw a line in the sand and start over. Cheez! how do you think the EMPIRE OF ENVY will react to at least 18 Sox on roids or HGH Do they give their rings back

Actually they delayed the Congressional Hearing to Febuary so the eight Congressional Hearing representatives can book their flights to the Yankees Spring Training Camp in FL. Turns out its more economic to fly the Congressmen there for the Hearing then flying 18 Yankees to Washington.

i am a hardore yankees fan.. i hate the red flops more than anything in this world..i believe the team is composed of homosexuals and retards. but i seriously need to say everyone should shut up about the steroid shit on every team because juice will always be around..along with hgh.. lab are constantly developing new steroids that will be brought to face. new tests will have to constantly be developed to keep up.. it is time to evolve with times because sports will never be the way it was in the 40's ..it is 2008 ... this is where its at Competition and it gets tougher and tougher so the players feel the need for the edge.. whether ur on the red flop, or the yankees or whoever..the players are in this together .. its either accept it or keep prying at these players until it comes to the point they flee to japn, retire, and then baseball in america is comprised of julio lugo and miguel cairo..what fun that is ....NOT
