Palmeiro clears waivers

[26 to 6]

Jason Stark, ESPN

 

Doubtful he goes anywhere, though last week there was some VERY MILD discussion on the radio about him coming to the Mets. Wont happen though.

[snb988]

Doubt he will go anywhere.

[ARod2212]

I sincerely doubt anyone would take a flyer on him. Too much controversy around him.

[heyabbott]

I broken player from a bad team, they couldn't get a cheesesteak from the Phillies for Palmeiro. I wouldn't trade a bowl of soup and some crackers for the lying cheat.

[YankeeDoodle]

No soup for Palmeiro!

[riverside sluggers]

His last season in the majors, for this steroid scandal "which he didnt take. Period (finger point)" haha. I heard on WEEI theres some specualtion the Orioles could be looking at Mike Piazza to serve as their DH in 2006

Pathetic move by the O's and Piazza deserves better than finishing a HOF career in some backwater crack town. Anybody see The Wire on HBO. Well folks, then you've been to Baltimore.

 

Soso, Palmeiro, Surhoff and Piazza. Rebuilding? HAHAHA

[whereisnomar]

I still don't get how waivers work. How long until Raffy just stays on the O's?

[riverside sluggers]

trust me this will be his last season with the O's, no team wants a player with that kind of attention. besides just turned 43 this year

[CajunSox]

I wouldn't be suprised to see the Yanks pick him up. They don't mind having players on roids(Giambi, Sheffield).

lol i agree

[26 to 6]

you guys are ridiculous

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I'd say, he retires. Nobody really wants the excess baggage.

[MC Hammer]

you guys are ridiculous

Yeah facts are really ridiculous.

[26 to 6]

Yeah facts are really ridiculous.

look man, nobody wants to have a player on steroids. Did Giambi take them? Yes he did. Did Sheffield take them? No, he rubbed a cream that contained a steroid ingrediant on his injured knee, and he wasnt even on the Yankees at that time. You act as if the Red Sox never had a player who took steroids. Just because none of your players have tested positive or had classified information confirming that they took steroids released to the public doesnt mean that a Red Sock has never used. You guys had Canseco (as did we), you had Mo Vaughn, who I wouldnt be surprised to find out if hes used steroids. You had Clemens (as did we), who I dont think did steroids, but there is plenty of speculation. So lets not point fingers at the Yankee organization until you can prove that nobody to wear a uniform that said Red Sox across the front has ever used steroids.

 

And I said you guys were ridiculous because youre making stupid jokes about it....its not a funny topic.

Well for one do you really think a trainer would stick his neck out giving steroids to somoene who didn't know they were using them, and don't use the excuse it was just a cream. We've found out that steroids can come in the cream form now so I dont wanna hear any more of that.

 

I didn't know that is why you said it was ridiculous so I'll take back my smart ass comment.

No, a trainer wouldnt risk it, the doctor gave it to him. Ill find the SI article that has all the info on the Sheffield situation and post it so that everybody will get off his back. seriously though, rubbing cream isnt injecting something into your blood stream, I dont see how rubbing cream on your leg can enhance your performance. He was using it for MEDICAL purposes, not anabolic. Many medical substances contain a steroid. Its just that most of you on this forum think that steroid means anabolic steroid.

[26 to 6]

im not a steroid expert, as im sure none of us are. So it would be hard to copy/paste steroid information and have everybody be able to understand it. All I can say is that people need to open their minds, you treat someone who took a medical steroid ONCE the same as someone who was injecting anabolic steroids for 20-30 years. Lighten up, baseball has a drug policy now, let that determine who is on steroids, not us.

back to the topic at hand....looks like Raffy has been sent home.

[riverside sluggers]

Raffy said in a recent report he's still considering coming back in 2006

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

lol he might want to comeback in 06 but who would want him? ESP when you consider that hes cracked under the pressure since his return.

yeah it is a joke , but your to f***ing serious you had to say something, jeez f***ing yankee fans they take everything so serious :thumbdown

[26 to 6]

hey, if I made jokes insulting the Red Sox, EVERY SINGLE ONE of you guys would be on my ass

[MC Hammer]

Yes because this is a Red Sox forum ... not a Yankee forum. How many times do we have to go over that?

[See Red]

... seriously though, rubbing cream isnt injecting something into your blood stream, I dont see how rubbing cream on your leg can enhance your performance. He was using it for MEDICAL purposes, not anabolic.

 

How do you know? Because he said so? That's a pretty weak argument -- I'm sure even you'd agree.

 

And just because you don't understand how something works means it doesn't work? Once again, a weak argument. Do you know how nicotine or birth control patches work? Or should people steer clear from those?

[MC Hammer]

They said on ESPN Radio this morning that it was a mutual agreement for Raffy to go home. Although I'm sure the Orioles were the ones that brought up the idea.
