March 17, 200521 yr Author QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Federal Investigator Frank Thomas, reporting for duty! Drop your pants Sammy!
March 17, 200521 yr QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) What would Frank and Curt (and whomever else) have to do while they are on this task force? I'm sure Rep Davis will inform them when they appear, that's when he'll have them sworn in to be part of the taskforce. Frank...gettin his MFin Props!!
March 17, 200521 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Ummm... I don't think I like that. Players should not be put into a position to tattle on other players. An independent pannel should be formed. People with nothing to gain from outing, or hiding, the players using. That's exactly what I was thinking. I really think it could put active players on this taskforce in a sticky predicament.
March 17, 200521 yr Bernard Sanders is obviously not a fan of my "everybody should be on The Swan" idea.
March 17, 200521 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) If sosa denies, what is at risk for him if he is lying? Jail time.

An independent pannel should be formed. People with nothing to gain from outing, or hiding, the players using. Maybe I misunderstood...is that what they would be doing? I thought they would be the face of 'Don't do roids' via television and so forth.

An independent pannel should be formed. People with nothing to gain from outing, or hiding, the players using. As I am proud of Frank to be asked to be part of this taskforce... I do share your concern on what consequences this could create between players. Does that make Frank the clubhouse Narc? I guess we should wait and hear the exact details on what they expect from him and Curt. Edited March 17, 200521 yr by RibbieRubarb
March 17, 200521 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) Frank would have to accept that position. They can't just make him do it. I hope he declines it.
March 17, 200521 yr QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) They have to have proof he is lying though...but it could be contempt. If they prove he's lying, it would be perjury.
March 17, 200521 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) If they prove he's lying, it would be perjury. Yes you're right.. lying under oath is perjury... Doh.

I thought they would be the face of 'Don't do roids' via television and so forth. A task force investigating roid usage... sounds to me like they would be responsible for investigating and reporting their findings to congress.
March 17, 200521 yr Sosa's statement will probably also mention his use of flintstone vitamins....tool...I'm glad he was a Cub!
March 17, 200521 yr Excellent! A corked-bat refernece! Sammy! Edited March 17, 200521 yr by JUGGERNAUT
March 17, 200521 yr LMAO... ISSA referencing using a corked bat as cheating.. Sosa must be pissing his pants!!
March 17, 200521 yr I agree with your comments about Pellman. However, I think he just said somthing that gives us a clue as to what Selig will say. He said he would recommend to MLB that the Minor league policy is the best because it was implemented without negotiations. Selig is going to blame the union for not allowing MLB to institute the policy they wanted.
March 17, 200521 yr Schilling would have a tough choice to make: Take the position Ruin his position as head of the players' union Increase his chances of getting into politics after his playing days Don't accept it Keep in favor with the players and the union Possibly blackball himself from a future in politics Edited March 17, 200521 yr by knightni

March 17, 200521 yr More pharmacies in Tijuana than anywhere else in Mexico? Last time I looked Mexico City was home to over 20 million souls. Tijuana I think is less than a million. What's Mr Fox have to say about this?
