I have to say not the drug I figured he would be busted for. 

It reveals a lack of basic common sense in the MLB drug policy, no surprise there.  Adderall?  Who cares?  Not to mention just about every legendary player from the 50s/60s/70s used similar or worse.

It is speed-- could that not be performance enhancing?  Anyway, the league has an exemption if you have a prescription for it. You just have to apply for the exemption.

Nice complete game by Waino-- looks like he's shaken off his second half slump and should be able to pick up a 20th win.  Although I think wins by pitcher is an overrated stat, 20 wins looks nice on a stat sheet.

Apparently he had such an exemption when he was with the Rangers, but not with the Orioles.  Don't know what that's all about.
Sounds like nitpicking to me.  Even NFL Properties collusion against Baltimore spreads to Dem O's.

Two winning seasons in a row! :w00t:

And the Brewers are pretty much out of the playoffs :lol:

You never should have abandoned the Royals.  :showoff:

I was gonna mock you for your avatar a couple days ago but they're hanging tough.  Hope they win the division. Tigers have already had their day on the sun.

I never expected them to win the division, or, well, anything.

It's just fun they're still right in the thick of things.

Althoug there are a handful of games afterwards, this three day homestand against Detroit could very well decide things. :ph34r:

They wouldn't be doing well if I still liked them. :lol:

Would the Pirates please lose a game. Kind of annoying seeing the magic number not diminish faster than it is.

Royals win tonight! :w00t:

So does Detroit! :ultra:

A wildcard spot is looking more and more likely.  Too bad I don't like their chances against the As. <_<

Way to go out with a whimper, Tribe. <_<  Looks like I'll be pulling for the Royals and Pirates this year.
