Waving bye to your CF for 80 games like

 

 

 

 

Meadows sabotaged him, calling it.

Oh certainly keep it in it's own thread. I only posted it in general cause I'm on my phone on tapatalk and I don't like starting new threads.

true, Raisin did it the right way, he should get to keep his thread. Mods please merge

[philosophizer75]

Hah!

This is the first good thing to happen this season

Marte now ineligible to participate in Buctober , if the Pirates were to make it thus far.

 

Maybe he can still help by writing the chants.

[Rex Buckingham]

Passan ftw

 

 

edit: Tweet must have been deleted, but it basically called out Marte as lying about it being an accident because it's an injection-only steroid.

No kidding. I'm sure the MLB has "random" testing, just like the police don't "randomly" pull over a driver leaving bar.

 

See ya Starling, don't forget to wave bye bye to all your friends.

That's such a strange rule. So he can come back after 80 games and play the rest of the regular season but once the playoffs start he is again ineligible.

 

Perhaps he can help the fans at PNC Park make sure they are doing the correct chants in each inning during the Wild Card game.

Passan was on 670 yesterday and PEDs came up, don't know if he knew this was coming but he kinda weirdly implied that there's still rampant use of PEDs and wouldn't be surprised if 2-5 guys per team were taking something.

Somebody get a hold of his stash and share it with these busted-ass Cubs.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Man, I know they just swept us, but the Pirates without Marte and Kang are a pretty damn bad team.

The deleted tweet:

 

Starling Marte, in a statement, says "neglect and lack of knowledge" led to PED suspension. Nandrolone is an injection-only steroid. Uh-huh.

Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure the orals are way more dangerous than injected ones. IIRC, they damage the hell out of your liver. But people don't like needles.
