The Ginger Kid Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 so is it now safe to say now that this rumor has proven to be just that, a rumor and nothing more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBetsy Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I guess it was just people talking out their butts again...or just repeating stuff out of other people's butts. Â In other words, same old Soxtalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 QUOTE(spataro51 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) Well first let me just say that i have been posting again the last few days because i now have a computer again, and it is great to be back seeing all of the old posters still here. Second, what i am posting I was not to mention at all to anyone but i just can't keep a secret and would love to have this all over before old selig has a chance to put it out there. I am just repeating what was told through my source that I have through MLB that works with MLB's press releases. SO IF I AM NOT CORRECT ABOUT THIS DON"T KILL THE MESSENGER!      I am hearing that 2 of baseballs biggest names will be announced friday after they tested positive for steroids, i guess they appealed just like palmeiro did and that is why it took so long for this to come out. I must also tell you that my source told me about palmeiro testing positive 2 days before they announced it, so i have a reason to believe he is also right this time. A starting pitcher (old) from the astros and a center fielder from the red sox have tested positive and they will be announced and suspended come friday. That is all i have and i must say this is a BIG shock especially coming from the astros!   QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 02:14 PM) Not that this makes the whole post kinda smell funny...   QUOTE(spataro51 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 05:09 PM) Hey sorry guys, at leat for the moment.

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 This is from the Yankee board: Â Michael Kay just said on his radio show that there is no truth to any of the rumors. He said he just heard from his source at MLB offices. The source said that there are no big names coming down. That is all Kay said, then he moved on to the Torre discussion. Â Â I still don't trust Bud though, weird how different people (about 3) with different sources had the same rumor, I doubt Selig reads internet message boards, but he probably knows the backlash and he'd probably sweep it under the rug, he's already got his trophy in Palmeiro. Not to mention all of these guys are probably taking human growth hormone anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Â I never offered up names before... and I'm not about to start now. Â Additionally, I don't work for MLB nor have I ever seen a test result. My words are the same as any Tom, Dick, Harry... or asshole on a message board, and should be taken as such. Â All rumors are rumors until they are confirmed. But rumors like this aren't just pulled out of the air. I'd keep that in mind as, those of you that are, s*** on people who are nice enough to come here and relay things they have heard.

BlackBetsy Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 08:04 AM) I never offered up names before... and I'm not about to start now.  Except for when the original poster said "Clemens and Damon" and you said in so many words that "Ferguson Jenkins conversation with Jim sounded a lot like what you said." But no, you never named names.  Additionally, I don't work for MLB nor have I ever seen a test result. My words are the same as any Tom, Dick, Harry... or asshole on a message board, and should be taken as such.  Except for all the names you consistently drop on this board (either to give yourself credibility or make you feel good about yourself).  All rumors are rumors until they are confirmed. But rumors like this aren't just pulled out of the air. I'd keep that in mind as, those of you that are, s*** on people who are nice enough to come here and relay things they have heard.  Oh, and spreading rumors on an Internet board is not a disservice to the people who read it? Look at the length of this thread - people were excited/worked up by this rumor. As one poster noted, the first source for the Clemens & Damon thing was an Internet board, not a media source. You think people don't read these and repeat rumors? It's irresponsible, especially if you "know people."  How do you think Jenkins would feel if he knew you had said "alumni get a lot of info about steroid testing" and that you danced around whether he named names? And don't give us that "I never said anything about what he said" bullcrap. Everyone reading this thread thought that Jenkins had given up names that you weren't revealing.  As far as I'm concerned, the people saying that Clemens and Damon tested positive libeled them.
