Palmeiro Tests Positive

[yankeessuck013]

let's hope raffy doesn't have a press conference like Gee-I'm-Big had.

 

"I'm sorry........I'm sorry......I'm Sorry....."

 

speaking of Giambi- TEST THE CHEAHER!!!!

[CrespoBlows]

New Palmerio commerical

 

"I take batting pratice"

 

"I take ground balls"

 

"I take Steriods"

 

BTW, How good does Jose Canseco feel today?

[MC Hammer]

Canseco must be on top of the world right now.

 

Raffy might as well just retire now because none of the numbers he's racked up during his career mean s*** now, and neither will any he collects when he comes back. I don't see why he would come back now, because theres no way the Orioles are getting to the playoffs now, and he's definatly not going to the HOF.

 

Bye bye Raffy ... its been real.

 

CAN WE PLEASE TEST GIAMBI ... PLEASE!

I'll pay you 50 bucks if you go to Palmerio or Giambi, cry, and then say "Say it ain't so Giambio."

If you can get me close enought to either I will

[Sox Fan on Cape]

i can't beleive the arrogance and stupidity of Palmerio, what a waste and disgrace.

[26 to 6]

this is ridiculous, Raffy earned my respect from his testimony at the hearing, and the second i heard this on WFAN he lost all of my respect. If hes doin it anyone could be (including Giambi)

thats true and kinda scarey. did everyone else feel the same way i did when they saw the testimony?? that of all the people Raffy was the least guilty?? it seemed like he was the one person out of place....and then...wow

 

you are right...anyone could be

 

we already know Giambi did...the question...is he still doing it

you never know if hes still doing it, i think MLB should not only release the names of the players who tested positive, but also those who didnt so that we could clear their name, like for all we know Giambi was tested and was clean, but we dont know so we're all pointing our finger at him as well. The way i see it, lets keep Giambi's (as well as anyone else who hasnt tested positive so far) name out of it until they are found to be steroid positive.

[MC Hammer]

I definatly believed Raffy 100% when I saw his testimony. He was the only one I believe didn't use. I feel like such a sucker.

 

I don't just think Raffy ruined it for himself but I think he may have also ruined it for Mack, and Sosa, and maybe even Pudge. The voters for the HOF have to be connecting the dots by now.

[soxie thefangirl]

This sucks. I never would've figured he was guilty.

 

Ah well. I guess it's the final nail in the coffin for the Orioles.

[YankeeDoodle]

What's that, ten "LET'S TEST GIAMBI NOW" banners? What makes you think they don't?

 

Watching the Orioles-White Sox game last night, and they had a "Congrats Raffy on 3,000 hits" banner hanging in Camden. Sucks for the fans.

[TalkYank]

Say it aint so Palmeiro. Hmmm.. I guess he did.. This one is hard to believe from a ball player at his end of career and he already accomplished everything that he wanted....

[YanksHater213]

Talk about surprising...

[bobby jr]

This sucks. I never would've figured he was guilty.

 

Ah well. I guess it's the final nail in the coffin for the Orioles.

 

Maybe for this year. But even if the O's fail to make the playoffs this year, we dominated the AL East for the first third of the season, that bodes well for the future.

[bobby jr]

I'll pay you 50 bucks if you go to Palmerio or Giambi, cry, and then say "Say it ain't so Giambio."

 

That's pretty good. I live less than a half hour from Camden Yards. I could go to the next O's game he suits up for, and when he comes out yell "Say it ain't so, Raffy, say it ain't so."

 

No it wouldn't sound right, it would have to be a kid to say it, like the kid who said it to Shoeless Joe Jackson.

[Sizzlin22]

First off to all screaming "TEST GIAMBI!!!" Shut the hell up. We all know he was on the juice before, and if you payed attention to baseball at all before the season you would see how much he shrunk, like everyone else he's been tested, he is now clean.

 

On to Rafy. This is a sad and great day for baseball. Sad for the obvious reason that Palmiero, who in my eyes was a Hall of Famer, has gone from hero to another juiced ball player. He was the only one at the Congressional hearing that I actually believed didn't juice.

 

On the other hand this is a great day for baseball, finally the new Steroids Policy has actually caught a big name player. This finally gives Selig the levarage he needs to push the players assosiation into a newer tougher policy, much like the one he proposed before the season which included a 50 game suspension for first time abuse 100 games for second time, and a lifetime ban for third time. Personally I believe that Palmiero taking the fall for a newer tougher policy is a good enough deal.

[YankeeDoodle]

The little loophole is that he could've been clean when he testified on the hill, and then juiced afterward. <_>

Whether he was clean or not, and whether he lied at the congessional hearing or not, they can't do anything about it without actual proof that he did lie when he's said he's "never taken steroids." So yeah, it is kind of a loophole because they can't possibly prove he did lie (if he did, that is).

 

I'm not shocked he got caught -- I've believed a lot of what Canseco had been saying all along.

[YankeeDoodle]

Ho ho ho, Canseco with some credibility, well I guess you were onto something there.

 

Now his story is he "didn't KNOWINGLY take steroids". Hmm. Sounds like Sheff's story. Do they take us for dopes, pardon the pun, that they just pick up a mystery bottle and dump it into their system...and are completely clueless about what it is and what it does.

 

I heard a story today about how on the day Ripken Jr. broke Gehrig's record, Palmeiro wrote to Clinton asking for him to release his family in Cuba. It took two years, but eventually the government got his family out and brought them to the U.S. So, as the sportswriter who was telling the story says (I think it was Ken Rosenthal), it's disturbing that he could've in a sense, betrayed Congress after what they did for him.

 

The test he took, Palmerio did, the drug one, took place after his testimony. So if they wanted to pin perjury on him, they'd have to go back before that date. But I guess prosecutors have more important people and things to go after than this?

 

Canseco also said something that he didn't think Palmeiro was doing it now...so for Raffy to get caught, hmm, even when brick head isn't that stupid, it says something.

[See Red]

I'm not buying his story one bit. If I was an athlete, I would want to know exactly what's going into my body at any point in time -- and I would think, especially after having to testify in front of congress, Palmiero would be the same way.

[YankeeDoodle]

AHAHA, oh you.

 

Ouch, just looking at a syringe makes me cringe. *cringe*

 

It's purple? Eww. What is that, grape juice?

 

It's not even an athlete thing, doesn't the "Don't take candy from strangers rule" apply to everything, food, beverage, topical applicators?!

 

Speaking of which, the prosecutors are apparently more interested in going after the distributors of steroids, not the users. Go figure.

But I hate syringes.

[YankeeDoodle]

At the expense of more Yankee-jabbing, everyone interviews the Yankees after some huge baseball news story. Well NATURALLY they would want Giambi's opinion, eh?

 

Giambi sorry for Palmeiro's plight

 

Ok, stop hating on Giambi, it must be some super-gum or whatever that he's chewing.

 

Torre said the Yankees have taken measures to ensure that nothing available for players to ingest in the clubhouse could have the slightest hint of being a banned substance.

 

"We have gum, that's pretty much it," he said. "Most of the other stuff was just drinks, but anything with any curiosity, we have eliminated."

There. Despite questionable FO moves in the past, the Yankees do not drink unknown substances. That's more than I can say for some players. Don't worry Sheff, in this clubhouse, the other players will be on the look-out for any strange-marked beverage or cream.

http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/story/8699572Palmeiro's positive test strong steroid, paper reports

 

It was, supposedly, stanozolol, which isn't found in any dietary supplements.

 

Really makes it difficult to believe that he accidentally ingested them.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

Yeah, i heard that is some strong stuff. Makes me believe even more that he is lying. It's f***ing horrible. The one guy that people could actually believe, lied.

[YankeeDoodle]

I thought Schill looked a little displaced.

[riverside sluggers]

yea i was worrying about that last night, he looked just so pale and sick

[YankeeDoodle]

Raffygate continues - HE TALKS!
