[dlk9s]

Guess PED's can add fat instead of muscle.

Would the A's pick up the phone if Randy Wolf's agent called?

[PrinceEatMeat]

Time for Wolf to join Kottaras in Oakland. It's just too perfect. Lol.

[dlk9s]

Holy crap, I didn't even think of the Kottaras angle.

It's interesting that last week a San Francisco Giant was suspended for PED's. A week later an Oakland A was suspended. Considering the proximity of these two teams, could these bans be more than just a coincidence? Not saying it is or isn't, but it's interesting to note nonetheless.

[torts]

a weeks difference between the two postive results probably means the tests were done on the same day, just that Colon's appeal process actually took some time to validate.

Bartolo Colon is the Hamburglar:

I think it just means that Bartolo Colon ate Melky Cabrera.

I would hope not.

[Funketown]

Somebody really ought to make a cartoon for the newspaper over there that's a big fish Colon eating a little fish Cabrera.

Another player with Yankee ties gets caught for PEDs.....

[TooLiveBrew]

I don't mean this in any kind of condescending way to dlk9s, but I really think "Barolo" is a funny & apt typo.

[dlk9s]

Ha, I even proofread it. I guess my brain inserted the "t". Fixed.

I for one would casually follow Wolfottaras West Coast.

I started to photoshop a picture of Colon with a Rolo for a belly. It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be, disappointingly.

Another Hispanic player suspended. More credence to the language barrier theory?

[slappzilla]

Bartolo Colon ate Melky Cabrera.

9.8/10

Wish I could take credit for that one. Credit goes to trwi7. Well played, sir.

no, Bartolo admitted to it, and he's old. if he were in his early 20's, maybe, but he's old enough to either a.) have a competent translator, or b.) understand the language himself.

Is Balco back in business?
