Dumb.

Did he think he was slick because he had brown skin and pine tar is brown? C'mon, Pineda.

He don't even need that. It's all mental.

Relax Wacha.

9 k's in 3 innings.

In other news, Wacha is mowing down the Mets. Eight K's in 2 2/3.

I mean...even juicing aside. I know OKB has his thoughts, but had it not been this era that ARod played in then if he never gets suspended and loses his flow of the game, how many records does he obliterate? And I mean that in every sense of the word...He may have SHATTERED records.

And he was a SS to boot. Could steal bases early on...Just did it all. Even Pujols wasn't on that level. No matter personal feelings of someone, I hate being robbed of witnessing greatness.

I don't blame Pineda for trying to doctor the ball. I blame him for being absolutely ******ed. Figure it out moron. There are many ways to try to hide a substance. Smh.

Inside the glove still probably the best way to go. Hiding in plain sight in baseball isn't advisable.

Lester and Buccholtz didn't have anything on their hand or glove last year.......


I'm still an Alex fan. Cheating or not. He was phenomenal to watch. I'm also over the whole steroids issue. We had almost 20 players get caught without failing a test. I still think more than half the league uses and will never fail a test.

leave listless & buttholes alone - they strugglin' k

 

[Hahahaha]

SERIOUS QUESTION. No rivalry or hate.


So when Pineda had pine tar last time, Farrell and Ortiz said it was no issue and they didn't care.

Many analysts and commentators said they didn't care because we've seen their pitches with substances.

So my question is, why didn't they care last time when they knew? Why ask the umps to check now?




Red Sox and baseball fans, feel free to answer.

Bro...I wrote an essay about the steroids "issue" when I was a Senior in HS, when it all first started surfacing as a huge point of emphasis. That was in 2003. 11 damn years ago! This should could have just been a blip, but it's turned into the most ridiculous episode in baseball that I can remember (still relatively young).

People talk about Stern having to go and wanting Roger to go bye-bye...Buddy boy should have been on this short list for awhile, my friend. Maybe that's making things too simplicated, but two things are certain...Steroids should only be a chapter and not an era, given "cheating" in baseball's history and number two is that Pete Rose belongs in the HOF....Along with the continual other snubs from that steroids "era."
