QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) So far Canseco has not been wrong. But past performance does not predict future performance. In his book, Canseco said that Tejada and Giambi were doing them during Canseco's second stint with the A's. He even talked about Tejada's power numbers making a large jump once he got into the big leagues. Another thing to note, Canseco claims that there latin American's are more likely to use steriods than any one else. This would sound racist, but Canseco put himself in that category, and talked about how Tejada's family was so poor and who would not use steriods if it meant making enough money so their family never had to work again. I really like Tejada as a player, but something has to be said about the decline of his numbers in the last month. SB Canseco's comments aren't racist, but they are wrong. Is he implying that there aren't baseball players in this country who are so poor and desperate that they might juice to get an edge? Everyone has heard the story about how Sammy Sosa supposedly dropped out of grade school to shine shoes on the streets in the DR. There's poverty everywhere, it's just a lot worse is some places. Didn't Tejada win the HR derby last year?

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) I understand the argument of not knowing they took something illegal for minor league players who don't have access to a slew of trainers, or cannot contact their agent directly to have someone review it, etc. But for major leagues earning large salaries they have the resources at their disposal to make sure they are following the rules. Heck, if I made a million dollars I would hire someone who has no purpose but to ensure i am not putting illegal substances in my body. ......yep, or I'd hire a lab geek to create something that is performance enhancing, but not... yet... tested...for...by...MLB, HEY WAIT A MINUTE, THAT'S BALCO.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) In what time zone? According to the rumor there will be an announcement at 4:30 E.T. I repeat, rumor, all rumor.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) So, about that steroid rumor? Gotta wait til 3:30...according to the rumor.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:45 AM) Dollars over diameter...everyone knows that Except for the church girls who hang around athletes, of course.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) Don't want assumptions made about who or what you hang out with... then don't make assumptions about "ladies". Sorry lady fish ain't bitin', read my sig, have the last word and have a nice day.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) JD said someone big was going down but we didn't know exactly who.. Right, so how did these 2 specific names leak this time around?

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) Maybe the whores you hang out with. Wrong. But true of the gold digging whores who swoop around athletes.....but please tell me more about who I hang out with. :headshake

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) Exactly...I would walk around with my wallet in my front pocket.... LOL, not to mention as long as the ladies get their cut of the funds, there will be no complaints about the 'parts'.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) Remember that Alex Sanchez was one of the first players nailed this year. Steroids don't always make you big. In fact, the most important parts... Good point, but Eckstein getting busted would SHOCK me. Signing a fat contract will make those parts a lot less important to some.

Did Palmeiro's name come up anywhere a couple of days before he was busted?

what's NASCAR?

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) As hard as it is to feel bad for these guys who test positive, I would feel bad for Eck because he is going through a lot of family junk off the field. Him testing positive could expose a hole in the system. Maybe there is something in a brand of protien that is showing up. MLB needs to educate all the players on this. Not just the Latin guys, everyone. I see your point Brian. It's precisely because players don't know what may taint test results that they should either not take anything, or do what Mark B. claims Sox players do and that is to have everything tested by the coaching staff before taking it. The fault still falls on the player, IMO.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:01 AM) Courant Sports- Red Sox Article I relinked it because your link...well didn't work Another Interesting tidbit from that article IMO: Eckstein? Hmmm...because he hit three home runs this month? ....or because he's up to a stagerring 175 lbs. soaking wet and with a pocket full of change? That HAS to be a joke.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 09:39 PM) http://www.websudoku.com/ there's a great online website i'm still pretty bad, it takes me about 15 minutes for the easy ones. Wow, if 15 minutes for the easier ones is bad, then I'm bad, lol. Thx for the link.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) It could be, but last I checked, it's Friday for another 14 hours. ......and supposedly the announcemnet will come at 4:30 E.T, so 3:30 our time.

Both Clemens and Damon have told the press that these rumors are false. FWIW.

If everyone can trace this rumor to this site, it better be true, or we're gonna get ripped.

I've gotten pretty good at it actually. Anyone care to share their solving secrets or strategy?

Anyone seen this or tried it before? It's in the Sun Times every day except Sundays and I'm hooked. It doesn't require math or number skills, really. Give it a shot and tell me what you think. http://www.suntimes.com/sudoku/

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) Maybe it's on the website? Nah, there's even less in there usually.

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) http://www.masslive.com/redsox/republican/...2260.xml&coll=1 Interesting article from a couple weeks ago where Damon was asked a bunch of questions about Palmiero. Some of the comments he made would prove to be quite funny if this rumor ends up being true Good find. Assuming Damon gets busted, he was probably already tested by the time he made these comments, right?

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) Do you not have access to a newspaper...? Or maybe the Suntimes web site? I didn't see it in the Sun Times this morning on the train ride in.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) On a personal level, that may be the case. I have no idea. Who cares? On a personal level everyone is an asshole sometimes, even a lot of the time. Irrelevant. I just want to know what he said and might have meant.
