LittleHurt05 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 5, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) I think they definitely do. They may do it in a half-assed manner, but they will. A good chunk of them aren't strangers to PEDs anyway. i don't think the dislike for him is all about PEDs, I believe there is a good amount of asshattery involved when it comes to A-Rod.; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The three mystery names were Phillies RP Antonio Bastardo, Mets UT Jordany Valdespin, and Astros RP Sergio Escalona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I read yesterday that only giving Melky Cabrera 50 games after he interfered last year, even went so far as to create a fake website, may work against MLB when ARod appeals.

Buehrle>Wood Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I remember De Los Santos being our next messiah around these parts. On the other end, Gio Gonzalez I guess was cleared. Weird there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm curious if we'll hear the actual evidence that got them all caught. It had to be more than just names written in a notebook. I'd like to hear the science of it, and how they didn't fail tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 A-Rod officially suspended for 211 games. Rest of 2013 starting Thursday and all of 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 This might seem a bit crass, considering that a few current White Sox players (Quintana and Flowers, to name a few) have tested positive before, but doesn't it say something for the "organization" that NO White Sox players were involved in the Biogenesis scandal? Granted DLS was named/suspended, but his involvement occured after he was traded to Oakland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 A-Rod officially suspended for 211 games. Rest of 2013 starting Thursday and all of 2014. Except that he's appealing so depending on how long the appeal takes it will spill over into 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of 2013 starting Thursday and all of 2014. So basically, they announced the suspensions the day after the Sox finished a series with Peralta (and he made a game-saving catch in extras yesterday) and ARod's suspension starts the day after he finishes a series with us.

We were pretty clean in the Mitchell report iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a conspiracy. MLB likes the White Sox about as much as Keith Law. ARod is going to get his suspension reduced and then MLB with fire the arbitrator, like they did when the old one ruled in Braun's favor.

Granted DLS was named/suspended, but his involvement occured after he was traded to Oakland. To be honest, it probably means there are players on the Sox who are better at covering their tracks than these guys are. I don't doubt for a second that we have, and have had, plenty of cheaters on this team. There are plenty of numbers that scream it, and a lot of culture in the game that until just recently supported that behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Didn't the Mitchell Report mention positive tests in 2003 before they imposed penalties? Didn't the White Sox as a team, not take the tests so the story goes, they would all be positve, yet no one would have it come back to haunt them?

Buehrle>Wood Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yeah Ozuna wasn't in the Mitchell report. He got busted a few years later, after his time with the Sox. Armando Rios, Schoenweis, and Parque were the past Sox players in the report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
