Chisoxfn Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Guys, if Bud Selig new about this, they wouldn't have named Jermaine Dye the MVP. There wereo ther potential candidates he could have given it to. I know someone else mentioned this, but I thought it deserved mention again. Therefor, I say it could be either Pods or Rowand, but not Dye. I still doubt its anyone on the Sox. In fact, I'm going to go with Steve Finley accidentally taking a supplement.

Wedge Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Seeing Rowand at the Parade today makes me think it wasn't him, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth losing sleep over. This is a bit more than a rumor when Will Carroll confirms that he was involved in the appeals process. I just hope it was not a White Sox outfielder.

DonkeyKongerko Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Alot of the previous players have been the Latin guys that accidentally took something or other along the line. I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if it was Vlad. Disappointed because he's one of my favorite players but not surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if it was Vlad. Disappointed because he's one of my favorite players but not surprised. I still don't buy this "Accidentally" took something or other along the line in virtually any case. Every one of them it seems had a good reason to do it. Rincon suddenly found a better fastball 2 years ago. Palmeiro...well...yeah. Alex Sanchez was struggling to stay in the big leagues. And on and on and on. Every one of them blames it on something they took accidentally. Well...at this point, they should know every single thing they're taking and they should at least check with the trainers first. If they don't do that, then if they did take something accidentally contaminated, they still have a recourse; they can sue the company that made the s***. It's hard to do, but it has been done. If you know what you're taking, find out the company that makes it, and if its truly an accident, sue their asses. Even if they don't win, I'd at least be impressed that they're willing to go to the effort and expense of filing the lawsuit - they may still lose on a technicality, but at least they believed it enough to put their money where their mouth is. That's quite literally what it will take for me to believe something is an accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Don't forget that the source said that we would care about this person, in terms of it being newsworthy and a big deal. Juan Rivera wouldn't be too big of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Perhaps, but even though the Sox are World Series Champs, I'm sure that if it were Sheffield or someone, it would get more news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close. Would not get half the publicity if it is a player from any other team than the white sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Yeah I would have named Rivera if not for the "someone people will care about" comment. If it's Pods or Dye somehow, it will greatly taint our championship as they both had some pretty big hits in October. Rowand would be about the same but maybe to a slightly lesser degree. I think a Vlad, Manny, Damon or Sheffield would get almost as much publicity because of the numbers they have put up recently. Watch now, it's gonna be Steve Finley or Bernie Williams.

If anything, I think he might have been off the roids in the playoffs. He had a good year, but his postseason was really pretty bad. He had a great September, yet he looked lost in the post-season.

One thing that people accept as a benefit of steroids is more rapid recovery from injuries. There were a lot of rumors out here in LA that Vlad might be playing hurt, or was otherwise physically incapacitated during the playoffs, and that was why his performance was so bad. Just putting those out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Didn't Vlad have a shoulder injury? That's probably why he was lost in the post-season. The most likely out of the whole group is probably Sheffield, especially considering that he got stuff from Bonds (how quickly we all forget). On the Sox, the most likely is probably Pods, purely going on how everyone was reacting during the parade and stuff. Rowand and Dye were too into everything to be guilty. Pods blew off an interview getting on the bus. That said, I really doubt Pods, but stranger things have happened, I guess you could say.

WHarris1 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Man I just pray it's not a Sox player everyday. I doubt they would give MVP to Dye if it was him. Pods seemed f***ing excited, happy, etc. after the game. Rowand seemed f***ing awesome today. If you judge by how the players have acted I doubt it's one of our guys. Don't you think they would be pretty down if they knew this was happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
