D-Backs need to trade for a bat yesterday. This was the crack in the door we needed.

ESPN saying it was for a prescription drug and not for roids.

Hmmm.......HGH?

...and when he beat up the geriatric team traveling sec'y in Boston it wasn't rage?


Two sources told ESPN that Ramirez used a women's fertility drug - HCG, human chorionic gonadotropin. That sort of drug can be used by steroid users after they complete cycles to get their bodies to produce testosterone naturally again.

I find it interesting that Manny loses his salary. Isn't there something to be said about the teams knowing or should know about the players usage?

Maybe it is just me, but when you pay a guy 20 million plus, don't you know something about what he does with his body?

Let's see.

Manny's annual salary = $ 25 million
Mannys game salary = $ 154,320.99
Manny forfeits 50 games = 7,716,049.28

Manny still gets = $ 17,283,950.61

BTW Manny's agent is still Scott Boras.
Alex Fraudriguez' agent is Scott Boras.
Bobby Bond's agent is Scott Boras.

Guys we should target. Now sure if able can be had, but they are either on a team all ready out of it or stuck behind someone.

Grady Sizemore
Adam LaRoche
Nate McLouth
Micah Hoffpauir
Marlon Byrd

I read that he might be available

HCG is taken via needle, kinda hard to not know your taking something when your putting a pin in your body! Also it is typically taken to assist in a PCT. So there is a chance he used it along with steroids of some kind

PCT?

Pee cup test???

Post cycle therapy. Most anabolic steroids for the most part will lower your NATURAL testosterone (which is why people take injectable test along with steroids, so they can replace the natural testosterone that has decreased) and raise estrogen. So after a cycle they take the PCT, typically an anti estrogen such as Nolvadex to help boost up the natural testosterone, and lower the estrogen. Basically balancing out the hormones to where they are supposed to be

Sox are still in it!!

;)

Define "it" or add "sh".

Seriously, every other team, except Tigers, is young and good. Twins, Indians, Royals are young teams. Sox are older than dirt. Wait until Kenny adds Pedro. :bang:

Maybe the D'backs have another Carlos Quentin lying around they would pony up in a deal.

I still do not understand the overwhelming uproar of performance enhancing drugs in baseball.


Agreed 100%, all the steroid nonsense over the past few years is getting so old. Every time I hear the words "Steroids" or "Brett Favre" I want to throw my shoe at the TV.

I wish a bunch of washed up players would start a competing ABA style baseball league. But instead of 3 point lines, afros and multicolored balls they could have short porches and roids :p

Too bad he didn't get caught 6 or 7 months ago when this might have mattered for the Diamondbacks.
