LittleHurt05 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/31/sports/b...tml?_r=1&hp This is just funny how they keep leaking one or two names at a time.

Kyyle23 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hm, I wonder if Hawk changes his tune in regards to the best duo he has ever seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Shocking. I've always known those two weren't innocent. I thought it was funny how you almost never heard any speculation about them being on steroids, but everybody else was under suspicion.

SoxFan562004 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Will be curious if Gammons comes out defending the Red Sox like he normally does (when the Manny story broke this year he basically said he didn't think there was a chance he was on it with the Red Sox) or if ESPN just keeps him away from the story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm shocked!!! So you're saying he didn't starting putting up Hall of Fame numbers for a period of time because he simply changed his hitting philosophy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 So at what point does their World Series win in '04 get tarnished? I'm of the opinion that it already is. I would love to hear what Schilling has to say about htis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be suprised if ESPN turns to a "everybody did it" tact and start spewing that basically everyone was on them so the playing field was equal and they didn't really have an advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're saying the Red Sox are just as tainted as everybody else who had roid users. Really? Their two best players were on roids. It's not like they were Timo Perez.

SoxFan562004 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I think we as White Sox fans have to face the realistic possability that within a year a major name on the 05 team will be strongly tied to steroids. I'm not actually thinking of anybody in particular, but the way the numbers are shaking out, I'm just trying to be logical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been telling people on here for 5 years that the son of a scout who I went to Grad School with told me back in 2003 that the Red Sox players were the biggest abusers of PEDs in all of baseball.

I would say it's very likely we were the cleanest World Series winners in a few decades. 2004 was the first year they had regular testing...but no penalties and no exposure for a first positive test. 2005 was the first year with testing and immediate suspensions for a first positive test. That's the year Palmeiro was caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
