  1. yea, the Yankees snuck that announcement in right after the Manny news yesterday
  2. Dojji, you f***ing cocksucking bloody ****rag. you'll rue the day you crossed me
  3. yea...cause it would give us the chance to tee off on him
  4. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ixes5f9v_nw12-BbxuNWMvOl3rEAD98223M03
  5. well, its 30 games in and the Yankees are .500.....gotta fire SOMEONE
  6. I disagree. Baseball revenues are at an all-time high. Look, I love the idealism of a fan boycott of all things MLB but I think it's a lot of wishful thinking.
  7. I'm sure they would unite behind the cause but how far would fans be willing to go to force the issue? They would have to take their dollars out of the game and that means not buying any more merchandise or going to games. They'd also have to stop watching games on TV forcing advertisers on TV networks to pull their ads thus costing MLB a ton of money.
  8. I honestly don't believe that the casual fan cares all that much about players using PEDs. Sure when ESPN.com has a poll asking "Are you outraged?", 85% will say yes but how many of them would honestly boycott the game? If I lived in Boston and news came out that Ortiz failed a drug test, it wouldn't keep me from watching games on NESN or going to Fenway
  9. He took a testosterone booster, no need to bring up anything related to ED
  10. Jesus effing Christ, get off the CEG for a second... I didnt say anyone expressed concern after 3 days, in fact I said as an example of someone's opinion on the the extreme side of the spectrum. If you expect Ortiz to hit 35+ HRs and 120+ RBIs, then yea, you should be concerned at this point but considering how deep this lineup is, I don't think he needs to carry that much of the offense to be effective.
  11. you just explain to him that he cheated and broke the rules and hopes he learns a lesson from it. at some point, he'll have to learn that athletes aren't role models anyway
  12. I'm sure a clause like that could be included in a future CBA but I think for now, Selig is taking the "baby steps" approach to it.
  13. Scott Boras' job is to negotiate the best possible contract for his clients and to generally stick up for them in all baseball-related matters. Why should he be held accountable if his clients CHOOSE to use PEDs? Blame rests solely on the player, no one else. If they even care about the PED issue, teams should be doing for any player they sign anyway. If they choose to ignore the issue, then they get what they deserve when the guy is suspended.
  14. You can express concern about a guy's production 3 days into the season if you want, you'll just be ridiculed for it. But I generally don't show concern provided the rest of the offense is picking up the slack, which they are, so as far as I'm concerned, now is probably the best time for Ortiz to get his slump out of the way
  15. It's not as simple as that cause you can't send Lopez down without him clearing waivers first.
  16. I just don't want to ever get to the point where I'm cynical enough to automatically think that anyone who improves at the game is improving cause of PEDs. I love the game too much to allow that and it would affect my love for the game if I became that cynical. If it comes at the price of being duped every now and then, so be it.
  17. How does any baseball player get proven innocent? He's a doctor.
  18. in regards to its relevance in this case, would it serve as a masking agent as well or does it simply jump start the testosterone after a steroid use cycle?
  19. so that links the reports that he took it to increase his sex drive then
  20. He clearly doesn't think he has enough of it the way he torpedoed his own career in Boston to go make $5 million more somewhere else. Remember, when gas went up, so did Manny lulz. I gotta wonder what doctor would prescribe a women's fertility drug for Manny...
  21. Not likely, he'll lose $8 million which I'm sure hurts a guy who is completely motivated by money.
