Yeah, I heard that it's "A big name", but they wouldn't name the player.

[wade]

If true, wow. Right after a big milestone, too.

[dalgreen]

I heard it's on USA Today's website. Man, there were some people questioning whether or not he was a HOFer. Now, there may be more people thinking the same thing. Didn't he say, "I've never used steroids" to Congress? At least McGwire can say he never lied in his testimony.

[Peoriaman]

positive for what?

[dalgreen]

positive for what?

 

Steroids.

[rawaction]

Wow! And he lied to Congress. Could be major reprucussions for Raffy.

Yeah right!!! Wow, I wonder what's going to happen to him now. That's big time.

[Mark Priors Calves]

WOW! Here comes the steriod talk 24/7 again.

[CuseCubFan69]

How long does it take before that stuff completly leaves your system?

Awesome. Couldn't have happened to a better person. I despise Raffy. Remember last year when he declined a trade to the Cubs?

[Electron Blue]

:shock:

 

I'm surprised, but I'm not. I've always like Raffy, partly because of his success and partly because he came off as a nice likable guy - he seemed to deserve it. If this report is true, though, maybe he doesn't . . .

[rocket]

What an idiot. He could have gotten away with using steroids in the past if he stopped now. Say goodbye to the HOF now.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Wow! And he lied to Congress. Could be major reprucussions for Raffy.

 

Maybe he didn't start taking steroids until after he testified. :lol:

 

This could be a major blow to his HOF chances.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Somewhere Jose Conseco is making cash register sounds.

[USSoccer]

WSCR also reports it as well....

 

...wow. how dumb can you possibly be?

[J.R.]

Awesome. Couldn't have happened to a better person. I despise Raffy. Remember last year when he declined a trade to the Cubs?

 

For that, the "I've been Freyed and Zimmered" shirts, and all the times he banged Ryno's wife. Burn Raffy, burn.

Wow. Just wow.

 

I can't imagine what the implications of this will be.

[Rusch33]

Looks like Jose is starting to be even more right by the day.

If those Raffy and Ryno's wife rumors are true, I can only imagine the smile on Ryno's face right now.

[treebird]

wowowow

Did you get that sig off of cubs.com? It looks so authentic. :D

I am leaving the thread title as is until either mods see fit, or it is truly confirmed by MLB.
