MLB hates players with ADHD - Carlos Ruiz suspended.

[Bob Loblaw]

Sould be suspended the whole season

Based on WHAT?

There IS a CBA in place outlining these rule infractions.

Based upon his opinion.

I don't agree with his opinion, but I'm also completely biased in this particular situation. I'll have to keep my Chooch shirt in the drawer for 25 games.

On a totally unrelated topic, did you guys know the nickname Chooch is derived from a Spanish curse word? Makes you think twice about all the kids calling him that at games and stuff. Anyway, I digress, don't abuse drugs!!

In other news......looks like a couple young kids from the minors will get a look-see this coming spring.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Erik Kratz will start, Humberto Rivera will back up. Joseph and Valle will get playing time during Spring Training, but minor league catchers always do.

Just throw Halladay's blowup Chooch back there. They'll be fine.

That just sounds wrong on so many levels.....but I know what you meant

I had to post it. It sounded too funny.

Well played Markakis....

Soooo, question about his apology: is he saying he screwed up in not taking the drug properly, or is he saying he's abusing perscription drugs? Also, if he IS saying that he was abusing, why does ADHD medicine get a different treatment than Testosterone or HGH? If I'm not mistaken, those ADHD meds are like speed, i.e. "greenies", which are a performance enhancer, which should require a longer suspension.

It's my understanding that the 25-game is for "mistakes" or "substance abuse", and the 50-game is for cheating; "greenies" are cheating.

""greenies" are cheating." See players of the 60's and 70's! THEY ARE THE ONES BASHING THE PLAYERS OF THE 90'S::facepalm::

Should be suspended the whole season

If that's the case then he would have been better off using PED's

 

[tommyd2107]

Looks like Valle may be headed to Houston for Wilton Lopez

Oh I dont know...How about based on the fact that these idiots still dont get it!!! If MLB wants to make a statement, then make a stronger statement that what they are doing because these morans still dont care enough not to use it.

Should be 1st time=Season...2nd time-BANNED FOR LIFE!

You're a "moran".

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Why did you post this?

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

You're a "moran".

Not as big of a moran as Carlos Ruiz right now

To be a famous baseball player making millions and millions of dollars, and regarded as one of the best at his position in the game, serving a 25 game suspension for taking some pills that 2nd graders take... I don't think he's a "moran". He doesn't have sch a bad life.

National ESPN poll about agreeing with Suspension:

70-30 in Favor.

Local site online poll:

30-70 in Favor. :lol:

Personally, I think it's worse considering he had career high-type numbers, can't be a co-incidence. And I said the same thing with Melky Cabrera too...
