Can you give me a single example of anyone ever getting HIV from a blood test for steroids? Especially at the professional athlete level? How many olympians, cyclists, etc., have gone through them without that issue? Compared to heavy abuse of HGH, for example?

All it takes is one. A lot of people thought the same thing about transplants and transfusions at one point in time.

would be sweet if vicedro was called up as the full time DH and in his rookie season hit 330 with a 400 obp and 60 HR

Watch him play and tell me if you think that is even remotely possible.

Ugh, can they just stop talking about this? We all know the drill, he may retire early or play a year in STL, blah blah blah. He still has two more years on this contract here, and hes not even sure what he will actually decide then. Lets stick to present-day baseball please.

Why? Every time they ask it and he answers it, they get read.

He's no Ribbie and Rubarb that's for sure.

From Cowley:

Peavy headlines a list of pitchers set to throw live BP to the early campers in about 30 minutes. Finally, some action. 43 minutes ago via web

 

Peavy already yelling at himself because of his control. That only took about 6 pitches. 9 minutes ago via txt

 

Peavy just broke Lillibridge's bat. Lilli is in midseason form. 8 minutes ago via txt

He was given an outside shot at our 6th OF position.

From Merkin:

 

Sight seen: Juan Pierre working on his bunting at a back field, laying down about 25 or 30 in a row off of a machine

Peavy said he felt pretty good after throwing live BP. Just his third time off the mound

Ya know, that ball boy at the Aussie Open that had bladder issues did look mighty familiar...

Frankly, we're really short on SS candidates at AAA.

He's no Ribbie and Rubarb that's for sure.

He's barely an Andy or a Waldo.

From Cowley:

 

To be fair when you use a 26 inch, 18 ounce bat, it is pretty easy to break.
