MLB: Minnesota's Ervin Santana suspended 80 games after testing positive for steroid Stanozolol.

 

 

if only he just came clean before there was a positive test

**** it, let's inject my ass with some PEDs

[fan_since79]

It's an odd-numbered year, so he was going to be bad anyway.

[Amazing Larry]

HOF thread so far.

Nathan's or Oscar Meyer?

Ball park Franks for sure.  You want the one that plumps when you take it. 

[Stradling]

I'm patiently waiting to hear what the Twins have to say before I give my opinion of who to blame.

[FabulousFabregas]

I wish he'd used them during his bipolar years here.

[beatlesrule]

Very puzzling that he would inject after signing the contract he did.  Then again, it is Santana we are talking about.

F*ck Ervin Santana!

[JAHV76]

Good thing he didn't sign with the Angels.

[Docwaukee]

I hope he gets the help that he needs.

F*ck Ervin Santana!

 

Cory and Ervin Santana are my favorite odd couple.

[disarcina]

he can pitch batting practice to Josh Hamilton over the next six weeks.

The Twins are in worse shape than we are. Santana was a major signing and was expected to significantly improve their rotation.

 

From the way Cron and Cowgill are coming along, coupled with the veteran presence of Joyce, we're not going to miss Hamilton very much this year.

Ervin needed to put the PED's in his blow.  Then he could have claimed he has a problem with drugs.

Twins Statement

 

“We were disappointed to learn of the suspension of Ervin Santana for violating Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program,” the statement read. “We fully support Major League Baseball’s policy and its efforts to eliminate performance enhancing substances from our game. Per the protocol outlined in the Joint Drug Program, the Minnesota Twins will not comment further on this matter.”

[Turd Ferguson]

I'm sure the righteously indignant media has no issues with this, while they give Hamilton a pass for cocaine.

[Streetkid]

I read that a side effect of the steroid he took is a swollen face.  Remember when that started?

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

The Twins are handling this with class, unlike those asshole Angels'.

[Amazing Larry]

I hope he gets the help that he needs.  

 

This is all sorts of awesome.

[Brandon]

His quote to the suspension is hilarious. There's no way to not know you are taking Winstrol. 

 

Stanozolol isn't some ingredient in over the counter supplements.

[disarcina]

this sanction of Ervin Santana will make the Hamilton penalty (whatever it might or might NOT be) very interesting.

 

If Santana gets 80 games for PEDs -- well...........

 

MLB has the potential to look really bad here -- let's see how the new commish handles it -- In some ways, I think he has already bungled it.

Hamilton is a "former" drug addict who relapsed on an illicit substance. Santana is a cheater who was caught using a performance enhancing drug. There's a huge difference.

I can't wait until the season begins and these threads stop.

 

 

 

Wait a minute...

He was trying to break the pattern. Using PEDs every other year might even out her performance.
