Wait, I thought it was stem cells that helped him bounce back at 38, 6 years after his last effective season in the majors?

The fact that he was able to throw 165 innings last year (and another ~160 so far this year) should have made it completely obvious. He was completely out of baseball because he couldn't, over a few year span, stay on the field, for obvious reasons once you looked at him.

Seems like all the juicers are former Yankees. Coincidence?
Colon also played for the Red Sox. Plus, Manny says hello, with David Ortiz waving from the treeline in the background.
Can we maybe not play the "My team is cleaner than yours" game? At this point, there are no clean teams.

Thank you. Not to mention Melky clearly wasn't juicing while on the Yankees, because he sucked for them.
Ortiz is a special case by MLB's own admission. Manny obviously is not. Paxton Crawford and Manny Alexander also would like you to notice them.

Yeah, I described Ortiz as on the periphery of the scene for a reason. I just hate when people try to make PED use about any individual team. It's a league wide problem. I know you're agreeing with me, so sorry if this sounds bitchy towards you. It's not meant that way.

I wonder if the MLB testing program unleashed a new test or new method and we are going to see a rash of positive tests from players for the next while until they actually clean it up?
That would be very disappointing as a fan, but good for the game.

Jesus, God forbid that someone make a wisecrack on the Internet.
It's crap like this post that has taken most of the fun out of the baseball sections of this board.

Shocking that a 39-year-old who weighs as much as a pickup truck and had arm troubles for years yet somehow came back to baseball throwing darts in the mid-90s would fail a drug test. Utterly shocking.
Kinda' hard to tell with a guy who's head is already fat though.

That hasn't stopped A's fans from acting like they're pure as the driven snow. Oakland fans have a huuuuuuge chip on their shoulder about the Giants.They ever had it? The Bash Brothers era A's were probably the most roided up teams of all time.

Task Force Pedophile?The MLB should employ some special task force to investigate guys that are obviously using PED's like Colon. Sure the PA will never agree to it, but it would be cool to have a SWAT team bumrush a clubhouse looking for drugs.
The JuiceBusters?
Team Testosterone?

Word is Bartolo was done in by a routine colonoscopyI wonder if the MLB testing program unleashed a new test or new method and we are going to see a rash of positive tests from players for the next while until they actually clean it up?

It's the kind of post that can absolutely be taken seriously and is the kind of crap that has made the main board such a mess this season. If it was serious it needed to be addressed. If it was a joke, it was a shitty one.
If you want to argue about it further, toss me a PM. If you'd like to throw a one liner on the pile, well... you weren't anointed king of the one-liner for nothing.

You decided to make this personal (by talking about a tagline you know nothing about, and look even more moronic than usual as a result), so I can't feel too bad about noting that it's little surprise that the Drum Major of the Poster Fail Parade decided that the problem with the main board was too many wisecracks he took seriously. It wasn't the hyperbolic posters, or the ones who are clearly in over their heads when trying to analyze complex information, or the ones who write like they went to school at Baka's Home for the Developmentally Disabled? Quelle surprise.
There's a reason most of the high-quality posters--the people who took time to develop an idea, rather than assclowns who want to throw in their two cents on every issue--have dialed it back over the years, and it's the heavy-handed, hyper-serious claptrap that's represented by the post above. Get the fuck over yourself.

It's too bad Joseph McCarthy isn't still around to head up that task force.
