TFoA Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 The New York Times is reporting that Sammy Sosa failed a roid test in 2003, confirming what we all knew about that charlatan.Media: "What a sad case. We all knew that Sosa was playing dirty. Selig must take responsibility. Another black eye for baseball."Fans: "Eh. Whatever." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 It is a lot of the same old, but this has the added dimension of Sosa perjuring himself. McGwire, who is otherwise the same unelectable fraud that Sosa is, didn't go that far. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 There was no way he was clean. The only hope that should've been held out was that he'd be sent out of town before the truth emerged.

If they can keep the game close in New York with the long ball, then they could take a game. Also they have the Boston series at home, so they know the park better.They just lack in pitching. Do they have enough money to possibly sign Ben Sheets or Pedro Martinez? They need a solid starter, not just a bnch of young players. I can only name one starter, and that's just because the Nats have 2 Zimmermans. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only name one starter, and that's just because the Nats have 2 Zimmermans.Sure, they can hit the ball, but is it timely hitting with RISP? Also, if they show up to bat, would the defense and pitching (starting or relief - doesn't matter as it is a merry-go-round when it comes to someone blowing the game) show up too? Finally, the Nats are 10-22 at home and 6-24 on the road going into their second game against the Yanks.The Nats got swept by Tampa Bay, play 3 in NY, play 3 at home against the Jays and Red Sox, then head up the Beltway to face Baltimore for 3, so they could finish the AL East swing by going 3-12 (optimism).

VandyDelphia Mike Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 There is one glimmer of hope for the Nationals in that the Yankees are letting Chien-Ming Wang start against them tonight (6/17).

MDC Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4267760 Pedro Martinez thinking of coming back with the Cubs or RaysThe right-hander said on Wednesday that he has had talks with the Chicago Cubs and Tampa Bay Rays and hopes to sign a contract in the near future."There's a good chance I'll be signing soon, but there still isn't anything firm," Martinez told The Associated Press."Chicago and Tampa Bay are the two teams that have shown the most interest and we are negotiating with them, although I've told my agent not to call me until it's a done deal," he said. Maybe this will be the kick in the pants the Cubs need. Or maybe they should hold off and save this money for getting Mark DeRosa back. ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!Wang is on the next train to Scranton.Errr....no he isn't. Yet. For some unfathomable reason. Giving up 3 to Washington is like giving up 9 to most teams, right?
