You really think Nelson Cruz is the one person identified that's not going to get suspended? Only the guys who lost time last year or this year have even been suggested as being safe, but you think Cruz is just going to be ignored? Pass whatever you're smoking my way.

I never said that? I said I doubt that there's no chance whatsoever he may not be suspended. You guys and your drug accusations.

Oh well Dodgers get the split. Stupid error!! Shocked why Mattingly let Kershaw hit but not finish off the 9th... Another great Kershaw outing wasted.

It's hard to say. The entire lineup practically is having terrible slumps. If that fixes itself the Rangers can get a wild card. I mean come on, they are only .5 games out of the wild card in spite of playing godawful baseball for an entire month.

Also, ESPN was reporting yesterday that there were some players on the Biogenesis list who were not on MLB's suspension list.

I'd bet Cruz gets a suspension, but it's not 100% guaranteed with the above. It all depends on what he did and what they have on him.

And yeah, Berkman hasn't played in a month. He's a total non-factor already.

It's already been stated that the people on the Biogenesis who may not face suspension are:
Gio Gonzalez (it wasn't for PEDs)
Bartolo Colon (suspended last year for PEDs)
Melky Cabrera (suspended last year for PEDs)
Yasmani Grandal (suspended this year for PEDs)

Stated by who? I can find no article that says anything more substantial than Gonzalez appears to be clean and "others" may have "insufficient proof". And insufficient proof doesn't sound like "already been suspended".

You'd think either ESPN.com or MLB.com would have this as front page news.

*EDIT* Ok, I found an MLB.com article that mentions the three who have already been suspended. However the exact same article says:

Quote:

Some other players linked to the clinic might not be disciplined because investigators could not find enough evidence to warrant penalties.

I already said I believe Cruz will be penalized. However I don't think anyone outside MLB (even you :P) knows for sure.

The stand-up stolen base by Pierzynski was pretty amazing lol, he was 3 steps into the attempt before the pitcher made a move to home.

Teheran too! He's got 11 Ks through 5, and a RBI double. But he's already over 100 pitches in a 5-1 game, so he's likely done.

I hope they can keep this winning streak going against the A's. They HAVE to at least win the series.

Joe Kelly's swashbuckling/lightsabering bat routine is very fascinating.

sycro · 08-02-2013, 02:21 AM

Watch out, Justin Upton is getting hot again! 8/18 with 2 2Bs and 2 HRs this series, both of the HRs coming tonight.

I love the Upton/Heyward 1-2 punch in the top of the order. It's working. As of now, Heyward has a .990 OPS since the change and Upton has a 1.027 OPS. They're winning now, and it's awesome.
