That’s weird, I never thought a guy like Manny would be found guilty of using drugs, I guess I should open my eyes more.

I’m with you man.

Gammons, to me, has always been overrated–incredibly overrated.

He may have been “innovative” in his baseball coverage back in the 70s, which is what everyone says about him. But in the last 20 years, especially since he’s been more TV guy than “reporter”, he’s just been a sellout for his buddies in the game (he’s really become like Will McDonough in his later years–protect his friends who give him access, at all costs).

I agree with mandb97. Gammons needs to be called out. He fancies himself as a gatekeeper of baseball. He hates to see his sport dragged through the mud, and he will do or say anything to protect baseball integrity as well as his the players. That’s why the players love Gammons, they know he is on their side and they can tell him anything and he’ll believe it. His confessional interview with A-Rod was a perfect example of this. Gammons even drank the Scott Boras Kool-Aid today regarding Manny’s positive steroid test.

One more thing, when is someone going to finally call out Peter Gammon’s? Here is a guy who said Sammy Sosa is a first ballot hall of famer and was outraged when Doug Gotlieb believed that he did. He then ripped George Mitchell when he put Saint Brian Roberts in the report. He and Buster Olney were screaming like teenage girls who had their boyfriends taken away by the popular girls. He said I know his family and he would never do this. One week later, Brian Roberts confessed. And no the first thing he says is, “It’s not steroids.” What a hack.

Bruce, no one should ever be stunned that someone has taken steroids in MLB or any sport for that matter. Felger made a great point today. He said Red Sox fans should not get all bent out of shape when people say Red Sox players took steroids. The playing field was even. The Red Sox steroid users were just better than the other teams steroid users. By the way the banned substance found was in a woman’s fertility drug which do what? mask steroids.

John Dennis there.

Don’t go all jumping ugly just yet. There are many interesting facets to this. Apparently, Manny didn’t fail a drug test and there are reports the drug was not a PED.

Will Carroll, Alyssa Milano, and Scott Kazmir tweet each other. Weird times.
