Many thanks to Paul Mirengoff of Powerline Blog for mentioning this site.

I need to say that my analysis (comparing NL ERA vs. AL ERA) was a quick, back-of-the-envelope calculation. For example, I based it on runs scored, not earned runs. I am certain the that the DH has an upward effect on AL ERA, but I have less confidence in the range I gave Paul (+0.2-0.4).

Regarding Roger Clemens, I don't have any idea whether he used steroids. But neither does Mitchell, which is irresponsible.
