Kevin Kennedy: Colleague Saw a Red Sox Player Shooting PEDs in 2004

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?
