More steroid shit

[ruby23]

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->According to the New York Times, David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003. The now-infamous 2003 list of positive tests is slowly trickling out. It's not a huge surprise that Manny tested positive, but Ortiz was not mentioned in the Mitchell Report and has not been linked to performance-enhancers until now. In fact, he told reporters this winter that he felt convicted steroid users should be banned for an entire year. "So what would I do? I won't use it," Ortiz said back in February, "and I'm pretty sure that everybody is on the same page."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Just release the whole fucking list. Then they can talk about it for a couple months and be done with it. This slow trickle of names is getting tiresome and is dragging this shit out for no reason.

It's also unfair to the players already named.

That too.

[Coach]

MLB cannot release it since it is sealed under court order, IIRC.

If it all came out at once, and there were Cubs on that list, they would get less fallout, so I'm cool with that. The slow trickle puts so much of a spotlight on each player, one by one.

damn i wonder who else is on the list

My gut tells me Bonds. I'm not sure why, but I have a strong feeling...

It'll be interesting to watch the names that continue to get leaked and see if they all are on the "fake list" that came out.

I've got a feeling that list is going to turn out to be pretty accurate.

[Butcher]

How about we kill the tension and go ahead and say, "Everyone who played baseball in 2003."

Yep. That's where I draw the line too.

Ummm. That SI cover is the March 16, 2009 issue.

[jstraw]

Ok...fine...that's weird and my bad and all...but which represents how he looks this year? I don't think that SI pic could have been taken this year.

[Coach]

I bet that weightlifting magazine has been touched up also.

[Destined]

He looks more ripped now than in that SI pic. But to play Devil's Advocate, those Muscle mags are design to show off muscles, so I find it hard to believe what is real muscle and what is altered. Look at Pujols' back in the muscle pic, it looks trimmed and cropped.

[jstraw]

Maybe he is smaller this year than in '07. It happened to Pudge.
