What did you think, exactly?
If he was suspecting a Red Sox player, and his suspiscion was VALID, then I wouldn't necessarily object. Sheff's name has come up HUNDREDS of time in the Balco investigation, and Giambi has admitted to steroid use! There's no avoiding this fact.
You claim that he's the one deflecting and obsessing, when in reality this is a perfect description of you. He mentions Sheffield and Giambi? Psh, accuse him of shifting blame away from Palmeiro, even though he said he thought Palmeiro should be banned! Get a clue man.
