No Wonder He Needs Viagra
Since he’s been using weenie-shrinking pills to hit all those home runs:
Rafael Palmeiro, who last month became the fourth member of baseball’s 3,000-hit, 500-home run club, will be suspended for violating baseball’s drug-testing plan.
Of course, maybe someone spiked his pee:
In a prepared statement, Palmeiro said he could not explain how the steroids got into his body. “I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period,” he said. “Ultimately, although I never intentionally put a banned substance into my body, the independent arbitrator ruled that I had to be suspended under the terms of the program.”
Blech. Drug-using atheletes should be banned forever.
Speaking of weenies, “Ultimately, although I never intentionally put a banned substance into my body, the independent arbitrator ruled that I had to be suspended under the terms of the program” is a textbook sounding weenie excuse. The MSNBC story headlines it ‘STEROID SHOCKER’. Um, not to anyone whoever took a good look at him.
You know, on Friday, I was telling Steve Silver that, although I suspected Palmiero, I couldn’t deny him the Hall of Fame based solely on viagra commercial fueled suspicion.
I’d like to thank Raffy for giving me a reason.
“Teenie weenie”? Doesn’t he get email?
To End with a Question Mark Instead of an Exclamation Point…
Rafael Palmeiro was suspended 10 days for violating Major League Baseball’s steroids policy Monday, nearly five months after the Baltimore Ori…
Hmph. Raffi’s toast. I said it before, I sez it again – if you juice, you never go to the Hall. The end. (We’d have to empty a lot of busts out of Canton if the idea catches on.)
