QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) Welcome to baseball message boards. Right now this is a rumor. We have no idea who the sources are for these people, nor do we know how credible they are. This is rumor mongering at its finest. The last time there was one of these rumors floating around, it was floated by the Dan Patrick show among others, and turned out for nothing. At least there's discussion (links, possible media sources) about the accusations. I haven't seen anything about an announcement happening today, tomorrow, next week.. etc, etc.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) According to the rumor there will be an announcement at 4:30 E.T. I repeat, rumor, all rumor. From where... rumor from where..?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) In what time zone? I bet Eastern

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) Gotta wait til 3:30...according to the rumor. Who said that..?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) Sorry lady fish ain't bitin', read my sig, have the last word and have a nice day. It wasn't meant to be bait. Class would have been to admit the mistake and correct it. Last word... ignorant.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:22 PM) Wrong. But true of the gold digging whores who swoop around athletes.....but please tell me more about who I hang out with. :headshake Don't want assumptions made about who or what you hang out with... then don't make assumptions about "ladies".

Alright you sumb****es.... don't fight in my thread!!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) LOL, not to mention as long as the ladies get their cut of the funds, there will be no complaints about the 'parts'. Maybe the whores you hang out with.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) JD said someone big was going down but we didn't know exactly who.. And let me tell you how under cover that was.... his own teammates did NOT know until it was announced.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:22 AM) Links are your friend... I'm having a hard time right now sorting through all these rumors...So are they going to announce all of those fifty names that didn't exist this afternoon? Talk about a s***-storm. The game of baseball will be better once all this goes down, if a number of big names get caught, new rules will be drawn up immediately. This is the best thing that can happen in the long run. I don't think they are going to announce many names - if they make an announcement at all. FWIW, I was more appalled at the retired players I was told about.

Eek.. Tejada...

Thanks G..

Weird... http://www.courant.com/sports/baseb...dlines-baseball Quote: "I just think people want to start something with anybody," said Damon, who entered Thursday's game against the Angels hitting .331, best in the American League. "I'd be more than happy to take any test. There's no way. If I tested positive for something, it's going to be because someone threw something in a drink or did something like that."

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 09:37 AM) Both Clemens and Damon have told the press that these rumors are false. FWIW. Just like Raffy denied Jose's claims. :rolly

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) Just so I understand... You complain about the national media not respecting the White Sox, then rip on it when they do? That sounds about right.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 01:39 AM) read this quote from McCarver: "'Where would you put Junior?" McCarver asked. "He can't play defense like [Aaron] Rowand. And how long would you have to pay him? That would be an expensive deal.'" what do you think the odds are he called Aaron Rowand "Eric Rowand" and they added the "[Aaron]" so he doesn't look like a fool, like when he calls Bronson Arroyo "Brandon"? None.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 05:03 AM) Wow I had no idea you could write third grade sentences littered with cliche and still somehow get a book deal. But then again who wouldn't want to read a book about Ron Kittle. Agree. Nice to see Ron keeping up with the whoring job. He's getting so good at it.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) I don't exactly get your reference, probaly because I've been in and out of this thread. But I was referring to Neyer's chat which stated 2 names caught with steroids. The places I have heard this, in order of when: 1. Soxtalk 2. Obscure baseball message board 3. Chicago radio station 4. LA radio station(Or so someone said) 5. NY radio station(Or so someone said) 6. National Media(Rob Neyer, ESPN) Heck, it sure worked it's way out! Ok, so I don't believed it all came from Soxtalk, but it would be funny. Jim golfed in the MLBPAA golf outing on Monday in Lake Geneva. Steroids was a hot topic and several former players were very free with their words on who's used.. past and present. Some details of the conversations mirror the thread starters accusations.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) It would be funny if this was all from Soxtalk and one thing led to the next. I can't imagine that the likes of Fergie Jenkins, Kenny Sanders, Blue Moon, etc read Soxtalk... and the conversation with them took place before this thread was started.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) Wait, did he actually name names? Just yes or no, don't say who unless you want to. Ohhhh yea.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) I know these guys get 10 day suspensions, but is there any other hurdle they must pass before being eligible to play. I know steriods stay in your system a while, you should at least have to submit to a test and have a clean result before you are allowed to play again. Just a fine.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) i cant say that i heard it myself, only what i read on this board, and the links on this board and on espn.coms message boards. supposedly some radio hosts said it was a sure thing HOFer and a potential HOFer. the announcement of the sure thing HOFer "would be devastating for the game, and could bring baseball to its knees" of course take all of this with a grain of salt. we will know tomorrow Ahhh.. I didn't read that board that was linked. Of the players Fergie discussed.. I would agree 1 is a definite HOF'er.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Hypothetically speaking...let's just say that it was a certain player on the Red Sox who played against us in our series against them last week - not even the specific one being mentionned, just pick a player on that team. How would you guys feel about us having played against a guy who had already tested positive for the things but was appealing? Even if the guy didn't end up making a huge difference in the games, how would you react to that? I'd be furious that the guy could cheat and then help his team beat us because he still had an appeal going through. Well... It's not Poppy.. and he's the only one that really kicked our ass. I really don't know. I guess I wouldn't care. The public s*** beating they would get and calling their season last year bs would be poetic justice. We can't be bothered with being pissed over this. We have a division and WS to win!!

Where did you guys hear "hall of famers"...?
