<< <i>please no Pujols, he's the saving grace with all this so far. >>
heh - if that were ever to come out, I could easily imagine a former board member do a split-second reversal from deep nasal inhalation to projectile vomiting into their unofficial GU athletic supporter.

I've been preparing Maven for awhile now that Nellie might be suspended, LOL. I think she's prepared for it. Too bad he couldn't have been suspended for the 9th inning of Game 6 against the Cardinals in the World Series

<< <i>A-Rod might as well retire. Apparently his whole career was built on steroids. >>
pleasepleaseplease PLEASE retire A-Rod!!

Arod is sitting on 1/2 of a 10 year 275 million dollar contract, if I were the Yankees I would be contacting the best lawyers in the world to sue his lame arse.
<< <i>if I were the Yankees I would be contacting the best lawyers in the world to sue his lame arse. >>
I agree! However, no steroid using players would EVER sign with the Yankees again. Where would that leave them.
3 Amigos from the Yankees. A-Rod - Melky - and Robby Cano don't ya know!

Lol come'on! N.Cruz going from an average hitter to suddenly hitting bombs like Ruth and Mays? You weren't suspicious at all? Melky hitting like Williams?

LOL. Just bustin your chops. I've been telling my daughter for over a couple of months now to come to the realization that he would probably be eventually suspended cause in baseball now it's not a courtroom where they need evidence anyway, it's gonna be based off the words and records of someone trying to get the dogs called off himself. We all know that must be a reliable witness

I hear ya
I feel for all those still holding Aroid rookies. If Miggy's name is ever attached to this I am done with baseball, I agree with those of you barking at Selig, what a POS that guy is.

I hear ya too, admittedly I'm just a biased daddy to a little girl that likes Nellie. I'm not too concerned as far as the Rangers go. They have a plug and play team for the most part. If Nellie's gone I think they'll just shift Kinsler to the outfield and put Profar in Ian's spot at 2nd. I still think they'll easily make the playoffs and at least if MLB would hurry up and levee a suspension, Nelson would be back for the playoffs

I do feel for the kid here. Mostly because of what she'll hear from others. School kids can be, cruel, in their picking. Not to mention geniuses on TV. And when you're a REAL fan of a player regardless of age, you can't turn that off. As an adult, our arguments about guys like Bonds, Palmeiro, McGwire get hurtful, spiteful and downright mean. I suppose if steroids had been an issue when I was growing up, and say my fave Lance Parrish were implicated and someone had said something off hand to me I'd have earned every minute of a solid 1 week suspension.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
<< <i>I think players attorneys will have good chance challenging this two strikes in one shot suspension ruling. And doesn't a player have to at least test positive first? This whole thing has become similar to a witch hunt which is ironic as Bud &I Co repeatedly turned a blind eye to PEDs in baseball when doing so suited their needs. >>
I never understood why Selig wasn't ousted in the original PED scandal as it all unfolded on his watch. I remember him all smiles and smug basking in the glory during Sosa vs. McGwire. Would a CEO be able to continue if a scandal of that proportion happened on his watch?? Selig was guilty of one thing to me. Regardless if due to turning a blind eye, ignorance, stupidity or greed: He didn't protect the integrity of the game. And that alone should have been his ticket to Sayonara.

95% of baseball fans were all smiles in 1998. Heck I wasn't even a big fan of McGwire or Sosa but I enjoyed that year. The genie was out of the bottle for good. Bud should have been canned, no question. Selig was clueless. He wasn't 100% at fault however. And every single baseball fan at one point or another has been an enabler to the "steroid era".
<< <i>I soooo hope Pujols is part of all of this. It's just God's plan. Right Albert? Dude makes me sick. >>
So you're practicing what you're going to say if Pujols gets busted?

Well said but should include the media as well.
I'm not a fan of Selig, like at all, but when the system is set up as a legal monopoly, it just is what it is. The MLBPA can take issues to mediation when it involves players but as a check and balances for the fans, we can only voice our displeasure with our wallets.

Absolutely correct. Oversight in leaving off the media.
Oh, and while Braun was using banned substances, Matt Kemp was giving the shoes off his feet to the disabled.
On a related note, I am bullish on Sammy Sosa RC's. I think in the long run fans will remember him more fondly, particularly with regards to the '99 HR chase. You can pick up Donruss, Fleer, Topps, Score, Upper Deck Sosa RC's in bargain bins for 25 cents or less. I picked up about 100 various RC's, including the Topps Debut 89, for 10 cents each at a show last year. At prices that low, a steady increase over time might yield some nice returns.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.

I believe it is safe to say that if this became true he most likely , after taking the game used athletic supporter off his face , would have a reverse orgasm .

Give me a break, I was 8...old habits die hard.
<< <i>You wonder if the marketplace for AROD RC's has already taken his assumed PED use into account for current pricing. If so, I am not sure you will see a sharp drop in prices if there is a long term suspension, but rather a steady decline over time.

Sosa? Who are you going to sell to? He was one of my favorites, I got burned badly and lost 1000s, I'd rather eat crap than ever accumulate that PED taking bat-corking cheater's cards. Just the sight of him in my mind in front of congress with the "deer in the headlight" look and acting like he didn't speak or understand a word of English makes me sick, Sorry.
As to Pujols... I saw both him and Yadi here in minor league ball. Molina pretty much looks the same IMO, but Albert's definitely been using something... Now, with all the hubbub he might have stopped, which might account for his good but not great numbers with the Halos... but (even as a Card fan who actually liked him when he was there)... it's pretty unlikely he's clean.

Think it has anything to do with the clinic being in Miami?

Nope... These things will tend to be communal and friends will tell friends.

Does this mean that Braun is the only non-latino in that group?
BTW I am disappointed in Peralta if he is indeed guilty and that probably explains more of his incredulous .333 batting average this year and continues to reveal the tremendous advantage these drugs give to players in this particular sport. In some ways, a baseball season is more like the tour de France than it is Football. Day to day endurance is a critical advantage Peralta on PED would be akin to the advantage Lance Armstrong had...all sickening to true fans - hope the Tigers dump that POS
