[BlackLantern]

7 are illegal drugs

Yeah I always make sure to check my ovaltine for Dimethylamphetamine, Norandrostenedione, Methyltestosterone, and Phendimetrazine

I think it's foolish that we expect athletes to be squeaky clean when they're not properly educated on what this stuff is they shouldn't take, why they shouldn't take it, and how to avoid taking supplements with various chemical compounds.

 

[BlackLantern]

if you look at the list....these aren't substances that are in everyday things like Gatorade, Ovaltine, or Ramen

the list is public record so you can't really claim that they don't know what they should or shouldn't be taking

Methylphenidate is Ritalin, I used to take it when I was younger.

MLB should ban me for that!

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

Holland pitched very well today!

 

[FCEEVIPER]

It's official, Mets bullpen is crap. =\

 

[BlackLantern]

everyone knows this

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It was just former Dback great Blaine Boyer today.

 

[bored]

Royals are continuing to do that "winning" thing that I am enjoying immensely. And our starter (Hochevar, in this case) didn't totally crap the bed today.

Willie Bloomquist running out of his mind. 6 stolen bases this year and hasn't yet been caught. That's bound to change.

Gammons with an honest take on Manny as a person.

That's what it always was with Manny. He never gave a darn about anyone else -- teammates, the clubhouse kids he stiffed at home and on the road (one year, Alex Cora paid Manny's road dues and never got paid back), the traveling secretary, even his manager.

local news just reported that Josh Hamilton is out 6-8 weeks

 

[KALEL114]

Josh Hamilton is out for 6-8 weeks with small fracture in Homerus bone.

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

"Josh"

"Josh Hamilton"

"Josh Hamilton is"

"Josh Hamilton is injured"

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

[Kingfish]

I like how he ripped his third base coach for sending him on the play. Team unity ftw.

You must go to a game and get him to sign a copy of Juiced.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

9-2 is perfect team unity for me
Its early...but I like what I'm seeing so far!

That would require me buying a copy of Juiced
