    That explains why Lidge sucks now. He must have stopped taking steroids. :rolleyes:

    Read the last paragraph.

    A conversation with his mother, a small acrobat, and John Kruk's fancy testicle?

    Is this a joke?

    Edit:
    This looks fake, here is the redacted version:

    Obviously somebody's first name starts with a J, other than that it is hard to tell.

    Not sure why they didn't use white redacting tape, btw, much more difficult to tell w/that stuff.

    Well Grimsley never made it to the majors with the Astros but was in the farm system, does anyone know if Brad and grimsley were ever teammates in the minors?

    I don't know, looks like a lousy chop job to me, and the silver highlighting looks a bad way of covering up a cut & paste

    edit: the "B" in Brad Lidge is definitely fake, this whole think is fakity fake fake.

    Grimsley was definitely in the Astros system. We got him for Schilling.

    I admit it could be a fraud.

    I saw this posted on another board, so I have no idea about the source.

    Yep, Thome's name is much higher than the next word in the sentence. And Derrek Lee's is much lower. All the names look a little bigger than the rest of the words in the paragraph.

    looks photoshopped to me.

    the spaces surrounding Jeter's name in the top paragraph don't match up with the rest of the document. Another instance of weird spacing that doesn't match up with the rest of the picture is Derrek Lee's name. It looks totally out of place.

    In fact, if you look at the bottom of the names (all of them) the bottoms of the letters don't line up exactly right- in the rest of the document (the parts that are visible in the TSG pic), the bottoms of the letters line up. Brad Lidge's name looks like it's on a rollercoaster.

    Also, there's the last paragraph, which makes no sense. Even if it's referring to some weird nicknames, there's 5 people listed (Grimsley, his mother, the small acrobat, John Kruk's testicle, and Juan Pierre - doesn't this seem pretty ridiculous?), and the next page of the smoking gun document says the conversation is between 4 people.

    I hope I'm not ruining some insider joke here, but it looks really fake to me.

    edit: I see we're all on the same track here.

    It's no doubt a fake. I mean read the last paragraph. It's just some people having some fun. I mean "John Kruk's fancy testicle?!?!" and his mother being a small acrobat.

    yes, it's a photoshop fake.

    Sorry, I didn't know it at first.

    mods can delete this if they like
