Rest Of Baseball - 2011

Rosenthal reporting that he tested positive for a "prohibited substance" and not a performance enhancing drug.

And the last WS was anything BUT Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

pretty white guy could never test positive...wetbacks getting illegal street drugs in caracas are at fault here

I usually hate when you pull the race bullshtein but I agree it applies to this situation...somewhat. There's a double standard. When Bonds was chasing the homerun record every one and their mother was accusing him of being on something. When McGwire was chasing the record nobody said shtein...or maybe they did but there definitely wasn't as big of an outrage. I remember some white guy trying to tell me that Mcgwire "just took some stuff he bought at GNC" as if there was no way he would have taken juice. Newsflash: Anyone with freakish muscles is on something. Everyone.

Tell that to casual fans/TV viewers.

People may not have been saying much about Mcgwire, but there were a healthy amount of people who were cheering for Sosa to beat him. Me among them.

[BigEd76]

no more Fielder + no Braun for 50 games = signing Aramis Ramirez to a 3-yr deal

[ice grillin you]

that was the phillies last chance to do anything about their offense

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They should trade for David Freese and Cody Ross.

"It's just like God," [Mrs. Pujols] said at the end of the interview, "to put us on a team called the Angels."

Ugh...

Its funny/maddening to listen to these baseball writers try to defend not stripping the MVP from Braun if the results are upheld, which they likely will be.

Golic had a point that these writers like to say there is no precedent to taking an award away but the writers can set a new precedent and yank the award. Stark was on this morning and he offered up weak excuses and yammered quite a bit about it. Now Rosenthal is saying that because he tested positive in the post-season (Stark said this too) there is no way to prove he doped during the regular season.

Yeah, ok. Like we're supposed to believe that he goes through the season clean and then decides he needs a little more push for the playoffs and begins doping?

Baseball writers may be the most stubborn group of people on the planet.

[ice grillin you]

they arent stubborn they are self important nerds who are full of themselves...they use baseball as a way of getting back at the world that has tortured them since childhood
