Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

John Donovan article: Big Three on the breakup.

This is a pretty interesting article from John Donovan of SI, via Yahoo! Sports, in which he discusses the aftermath of the breakup, from Mulder and Hudson's (and to a lesser extent Zito's) perspective.  Nothing too extraordinarily groundbreaking, but interesting nonetheless.

Some interesting things to look for:

A Hudson-esque opinion from Mulder about the obvious frustrations of having key players leave every season.

Some comments about how the Big Three played off each other and how that made them better.

Here is the original story off SI.com - it has one depressing picture, and one kinda weird picture of Zito:

I apologize if this has somehow already been posted.

Hudson said
in a few years no one will remembe we pitched together.  We did not do anything special.  He said something like that.  I know they never won a WS or AL title but 20 in a row is pretty special.  I know all of us will never forget they pitched here.  Have some faith in us Huddy.  Now I know he probably meant the rest of the baseball community.
