RockRaines Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 IM calling bulls*** on everyone involved in this. Its not happening, and its totally false. This has about as much truth to it as Chavez, Schmidt, AJB and Griffey playing for the sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) For the rumor to be this widespread, you have to think there is at least a decent possibility of truth to it. Either way though, I hope it is confirmed one way or another soon. Oh, and it'snot just message boards. Radio shows have mentioned a similar rumor too, plus with Neyer's comments yesterday, I dunno, i personally have a hard time believing its bulls*** Or maybe it just so happened that a source who's usually accurate with his information received bad information.

fathom Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) The Neyer comments were about Clemens back. There is concern about his back, and thus why he might not be a good bet down the stretch. Not sure why everyone read something else into it. Neyer's comments had everything to do with the steroid rumor. He was definitely talking in "code", but if he thought it was cause of an injury, he would have said something like that.

Well, the 'deadline' came from some MLB.com message board, where I would never trust any information from, so just because that was a rumor doesn't mean everything else isn't true.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 in an overall related topic, there is a report out that transcripts involving Raffy's testimony during the appeals process gave little explanation as to why he tested positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) I don't think Neyer would stop being a Clemens man because he got injured. He clearly means steroids. I could see it either way. The question of him being a Clemens or Capenter man has to do with the Cy Young this year, not comparing careers, because that would be the stupidest question ever. I first saw it as the steroid thing, but injuries would change the Cy Young race this year as well. Then again, why wouldn't Neyer just flat out say that he thought it was because of injuries instead of leaving it open like that? Come on Bud, get off your ass, release the names!

Punch and Judy Garland Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 yeah all this really means is the minority of the people who thought that there was some reasonable explanation/excuse absolving Palmeiro are going to be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
