Or to put it another way, get ready for another month or more of wondering when all of this will play out and which of your favorite players will be Braun’d, Melky’d, or Nelson’d out of their reputation and roster spot for 50 or more games. The focus will be off the races, off the teams, and on the guessing game of who gets outed next. Gee, thanks, “Dr.” Bosch.
There she is! There she is.

1. Avoid running at all times.-S. Paige Posted: August 06, 2014 at 08:43 AM (#4765343)Detroit's Joba Chamberlain hit Jeter with a pitch last night. It is expected that MLB will today announce that Chamberlain has been suspended until the Yankees hold a "Derek Jeter Night", at which time Joba will be publicly executed.
Jeter = user might actually put an end to this nonsense. Following the explosion of the heads of the anti-steroids crusaders.
Yeah, it's pretty darn funny to remember that.
If he's _already_ made statements to the feds then he could be on the hook for obstruction depending on what those statements were, but his radio comments are irrelevant to anything.
Quoting:
This, of course, comes as no surprise.
That's because you have selective amnesia.
Why would Yankee fans hope it's Jeter?
(*) From reading the facts recited in Horowitz's arbitration ruling I think it's reasonable to conclude that ARod knowingly used steroids and thus lied during his "radio testimony" (lol). My point about ARod was never that he didn't use PEDS provided to him by Bosch; it was always that MLB overstepped its authority with the level of discipline they handed down, and then that Horowitz was wrong to uphold even 162 games. Clearly Horowitz disagreed with me :-)
I think the, let's say "investigative creativity", that MLB used in this case is a far bigger deal than simply the length of the suspension. MLB bought documents that they knew were stolen and paid a felon for testimony - all in a stunningly ironic quest to substantiate A-Rod's pattern of scumbaggery. MLB's conduct, and MLBPA's complicity in it (I'm sorry the man died of cancer, but his last significant act as Director was to willfully refuse to do his job), far outstrip anything A-Rod, Pete Rose, or Marge Schott ever did.
I imagine it's getting quite sweaty in Rob Manfreds underwear.
