Wow, just wow
I don’t know why I’m so surprised that anyone caught… I guess because he’s such a big name. Wow
I have nothing important to say.

haha while as a doyer hater i hope it was something legit
i have a hunch this will be one of those explainable things where something in a supplement he was taking triggered the test. No way he’s dumb enough to do roids or HGH or anything
gammons is saying he was sick or injured, got meds from a doctor in Miami and it triggered a test
RIP Nick Adenhart

Didn't you make a huge deal about never coming back to Halos Heaven?
I seem to remember being subjected to some whiny, self-absorbed fanpost about it.

Hey, Higzy baby
You don’t wanna read it, don’t read it. Hard to say you’re actually “subjected to” anything on the internet. And if that was your idea of a “huge deal,” heh, dude, get out more.
Besides, you know what a cautious fellow I am.

It’s just hard to “listen” to anything you write based on the fact that you once said you were done here. You lose a good portion of credibility that way. IMHO.
Make some noise already people. Come on!

That's cool
And I don’t know. It all comes down to one thing. And that hasn’t happened yet. So….who knows? And as far as MOST people here are concerned, who cares? It’s just one guy making comments on a message board.

Whatever. I don't care.
You just come off as the guy who pouted, said to hell with this party, and slammed the door on your way out only to come back when the keg arrived.

What I find interesting
is that he’s caught now.
I totally believe there is a conspiracy to cover up any Red Sox discretion. I just look at Big Papi’s decline…
I question all of their records.

With a 6.5 game lead
and a return in July, I’m guessing that Ned Colletti and Frank McCourt aren’t terribly upset about saving $7+MM.

Panic!
Before I heard the news, I was talking to a girl I don’t know that well, and she says, “Ha ha! That guy with the dreadlocks on the Angels failed a drug test and they suspended him!” My heart dropped. Not our Vladdy! I honestly felt sick for a minute. I quickly went to the savior that is the internet, thankfully to discover that she got the team wrong.
I won’t be speaking to her any longer.
Apologies in advance.

Is anyone buying his "medication" excuse?
In this day and age for a player or doctor to claim “i didn’t know” is ludicrous.

i would like to be the first to say i have been mistaken
1st offense = 50 game suspension. so perhaps this was his first time….

He released a statement saying
I’ve taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past 5 seasons.

well i guess we have to take him at his word
as much as i would like not tp believe him- a man is only as good as his word. take a look at pics from the tribe and compare them to the bosox…. he is bigger (fatter)… but we need to take him at his word!

A disappointment … I thought we were past the steroid era and onto other “non-detectable” PED’s.
In a year of such turmoil, whining still abounds.

Manny should've been smarter...
or at least had people smart enough to find better PEDs.

DR
thanks for putting this into perspective for me (on the other thread). i might have been venting some frustration of the 13-1 shellacking we had yesterday.
i find it hard to believe that this was the only time he has used the juice tho…

Plasckhe
Must have really spry legs, as he seems to be able to jump on and off a bandwagon like a grasshopper.

Plaschke is just awful
They should suspend him for 50 games instead

Ha. I found this on another board(unrelated to baseball) I visit:
“to all the idiots blaming Manny: he has NEVER been a subject of steroids or cheating, his body has ALWAYS been the same. I am a life long Boston Red Sox fan, and the Red Sox NEVER had a steroid scandal with Manny (prbably the only type of scandal we didn’t have)”
Whatever dude.
by Mayheminthehood on May 7, 2009 10:24 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe
the reason he got in the fight with the BoSox traveling secretary was because the guy decided he was no longer going to supply Manny with clean pee.

I've already had a couple Dodgers fans retort today by telling me that Vlad is a juicer too, and that's why he's been on the decline.
Because apparently, if you get older and lose speed and power, it MUST mean you’re on steroids. I’m still trying to figure out the logic in that one.
Whatever dude.
by Mayheminthehood on May 7, 2009 10:15 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Who wasn't on the juice...
they are partially right.
However, they are wrong in that not everybody is testing postitive TODAY. Only Manny has failed a test today.
That’s why I am disappointed. I thought we were all past this point. Stupid, Manny, just stupid.

up is down
exact proof o not being a juicer is now used as accusatory proof of juicing.

There's no way this stands
50 games? Not a chance in hell. He’ll be vindicated based on popularity alone. This will be appealed and it will all go away and be naught but a footnote.

Also, my friends and I are joking about it, not being weenies and saying “I TOLD YOU, YOU GUYS SUCK, etc etc.” My Dodger friend buddies were laughing at the ingenuity of that image.

and Tim Salmon and I think alike... unlike a lot here who crucified first, asked questions later...
Salmon (through Seitz’s interview): When you first hear something like that you’re shocked and you give them the benefit of the doubt and then the more that comes out, the more you go “oh no, we’ve got another A-Rod situation on our hands here.”
