Palmeiro Tests Positive

[yankeessuck013]

just got a report from one of my friends in new york that palmeiro has indeed tested positive

 

JUST reporting out of NYC that Rafeal has tested positive for steroids, lied to Congress could equal Jail, I have no link yet but it is on the radio WFAN AM 660

 

posting in the rumor mill cuz I'm not sure if it's true.

 

They must have changed the test to test for more things.

TEST GIAMBI

Wow that is amazing. Time for the *.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

I'm watching ESPN news and they haven't said anything. i am not going to believe it.

[yankeessuck013]

Yes, like I said i'm not sure if its true or if he's just trying to trick me.

[yankeessuck013]

i guess WEEI just reported the same thing.

Sounds like he tested positive recently.

[yankeessuck013]

If it is true. He would have to be the dumbest person I have ever seen .. After sitting in front of Congess ..

 

also if it is true, he has a future in Hollywood, he really seemed pissed off at Canseco at those hearings, even pointing his finger at him...i hope it isn't true, i always thought Raffy was a class act.

Consider this the obligatory viagra joke.

10 games only? It needs to be 1/2 a season - a whole season. They need to set a precedent, and 10 games isn't enough. Are they still on the 5 strikes your out rule?

Test Giambi

[yankeessuck013]

I completely believe Canseco from the beginning. Yeah, he's probably a rat for doing it, but i always thought that he was telling the truth. He had nothing to hide.

 

Why wouldn't any of those people sue him for slander? It's not worth their time? I can tell you this, if somebody accused me of using steriods, I would be mad as hell and sue them. Not for the money but to clear my name.

 

Raffy is a cheater, along with the rest of them. I mean that's why the whole era is tainted. Because like Canseco said, everyone was doing them. Just go back and look at some of the numbers people put up. Brady Anderson? Luis Gonzalez? Bret Boone? the list goes on and on.

 

All I know is canseco is not a liar after all when he mentioned him in his book....he mentioned giambi..palmeiro...looks like pudge is next.

 

It's just something that we have to live with.

[yankeessuck013]

someone can move this to general baseball talk now.

[element1151]

Bret Boone?

I think he stopped after '01, because he SUCKED after that. MVP #'s to really bad.

[riverside sluggers]

wait just 10 games? i thought that the new rule was first time catching players take steroids, it was like 60 day suspension which would be rest of season

[Yanksin2010]

Just saw it on ESPN.

[Yanksin2010]

Nevermind, already a thread.

[yeszir]

The rule should read "60 games unless it's a well-known player whose suspension would tarnish the game of baseball."

As an Oriole fan living in Baltimore I am ashamed of this, this is a dark day in Oriole history. And if he lied before Congress....this is just so bad. Unless there is some kind of mistake, I hope he does not go to the Hall of Fame now.

 

I cannot help but think that many others are taking steroids too, and I am very suspicious of Giambi.

His resurgance and hitting 14 HR in July that just is hard to swallow. Like Raffy he was terrible at the beginning of the year and his power surge is much more dramatic than Raffys.

Okay, this sucks...he seemed like a great player.

 

 

Giambi has hit 19 homers this season: FOURTEEN IN JULY! If they tested Raffy, they need to retest Gee-Im-Big.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Oops, I could have sworn that other thread wasnt there before...

[yankeessuck013]

Test Giambi Now!!!!!

[CrespoBlows]

Ouch, he is going to hear it for the rest of his career.

 

HAHA, I will be right there in Tampa, throwing a syringe at him, during his games.

[riverside sluggers]

ooh god i hope the game he comes back to camden yards that it will be on national tv, want to see the fans' reactions when he comes up to plate

Bad day for Raffy. I doubt they will get him on perjury charges to Congress because he got caught after the testimony, and there is no way to prove he did steroids before he testified.

[Moose]

I have never used steroids. Period.

Goddamn, that's just embarrassing.

What do these thre roids have in common ? None can swing a stick without drugs.

The rule should read "60 games unless it's a well-known player whose suspension would tarnish the game of baseball."

 

riverside-- Bud Selig suggested that the penalty be something more like this penalty, but the Players' Association wouldn't allow it.

 

This is not only a dark day for Raffy and the Orioles, this is a dark day for Major League Baseball. I bet most of us have forgotten the names of the lesser named players (Juan Rincon and Alex Sanchez are all I can remember off the top of my head), but everyone will remember Palmiero-- he was a Hall of Fame candidate before this news came down -- and look at what the corked bat did to Sammy Sosa..... this is much much worse.

 

I always liked Palmiero. Thought he was a great hitter and a class act. He still denies "intentionally" using banned substances. What does that mean Raffy?

[ORS]

Yeah, the "someone slipped me a steroid-mickey" defense is getting a little played out.
