Why do I get the feeling that this will be an ongoing topic throughout the spring and into the season? They say he slept on it awkwardly, but then Francona says "He probably tried to do too much right off the bat, making a lot of throws while taking infield at first base, taking a lot of swings, then working out. And then he slept awkwardly on it." Almost sounds like he caught himself contradicting what they've been saying about it. Doesn't seem like Lowell is entirely healthy, either. Not good.

Very good, SoCal, very good. Okay, tell me this- who sang "Plaid Shorts and Tube Socks Will Make You Look Like a Dork"?

Edited to add: IntlGrounding is traveling home from work right now, cursing me under his breath and punching the steering wheel. I know this because I can see things that are happening in other dimensions.

Reading comprehension is a great thing- for those of us who are strong in it, I guess. Read back over it. I never said the guy was not a steroid supplier. What I did say was that there was no proof that he supplied them to anybody mentioned in that article. That is,of course, except for A Rod, who was putting him up in hotel rooms with his roid shooting cousin even though everybody was telling him he was making a huge mistake. See now? Speaking of which, I wonder why the Yankee organization didn't ban this guy from being around their star player. I mean, they wouldn't want their cleanup hitter taking banned substances, would they? True, but unfortunately never by anyone who isn't a Yankee fan You might be ready for the looney bin, buddy. For the record, I ran out to the diner to pick up some food. The sad thing is, my computer wasn't even online the whole time I was gone, so it's not even like I was showing up as logged in to Sportswrath. You've lost whatever was left of your credibility. You've also revealed yourself to be embarrassingly obsessed with me (to anyone who hasn't already figured that out).

Honestly, the more I read about this story, the better I feel. There is almost no information on his realtionship with Ortiz, which tells me it was limited at best. However, A Rod, despite warnings from others, continued to have this guy travel with him on the road in 2007, staying in a hotel room with his roid supplying cousin. Not good for A Rod, or Yankee fans. Alex is in deep, my friend.

Yeah, I see that- although I think it probably has more to do with the fact that half of your team has already been busted. Have fun watching A Rod unravel this season as the shit gets deeper.

So you believe that everybody who has ever worked with a trainer who used or sold steroids has used steroids themselves? I guess that would implicate the entire 1999 and 2000 Yankee teams (not like there are many guys left from those teams who haven't been implicated already, anyway).

How happy are you that there's someone else for me to make a fool out of on this board now?

Funny, it doesn't say anything about him providing steroids or any other PEDs to any of these players, just that he "worked with them". What does that mean? They called him in for a day to talk to him about training? He was their personal trainer? Until we know anything further, this is meaningless. Unless, of course, they mention players who have already admitted taking PEDs, and that he traveled around with them during the season. Then those players would appear to be even more guilty, and lying about the extent of their use of PEDs. P.S.- Personal attacks would indicate a heightened level of anger. What are you so wound up about, or should we just read back through this thread to figure that out. For a guy who claims nothing I said made him angry, you sure seem pretty, uh, angry.

You don't need to defend yourself. I think it's pretty obvious to everyone here that you were not angry. You just enjoy tracking my every move on this board, down to the minute, for three days.

Thanks for the update, flash. Be sure to keep us abreast of any other two-week-old news.

A guy who thinks Sigmund and the Sea Monsters pictures are hilarious doesn't find me funny. Crushing.

I'll answer it in exactly one hour. Grounding, you keep time.

If I refuse, will you promise to keep embarrasingly chasing me around like a smitten schoolgirl?

Excellent point, although I think that's becoming painfully obvious with each post you make.

Excellent point. I can't find anything about this story in any of the NY papers, or on NY sports radio.

Looks like I should have included a third choice: creepy lurker.

I'm afraid I was right. Nobody could be this ironic. He's also quite the crafty one.

IntlGrounding- Ironic genius, or just oblivious? You decide. Personally, I'm really hoping it's the former, but I have a bad feeling it's actually the latter.

Okay. I'll see you back here tomorrow.

So you're saying you're putting this all behind you...again?

Looks like you just put it all behind you again.

You've obviously been able to put it all behind you. Nice work.
