Hey Mikedee… That phone number really works… Although I wasn’t able to speak with the Comish himself, I did leave a very detailed message with what I believe is his secretary. She was very cordial and informed me that The Commisioner would return my call within the week! I’ll pay double for my season tickets if he calls back!

HAHA!!! Nice one Manny…

The union released a statement supporting Romero… expressly disagreeing with the decision by MLB and the arbitrator to suspend Romero (and Mitre), calling it unfair and “distinguishable from a person who intentionally used an illegal performance-enhancing substance.”

I wonder if we will hear more about the arbitration hearing.

I haven’t had a chance to fully dive into this… heard about it this morning on KYW and then read about it briefly on here. I am starting to understand the situation a little better; Phil Sheridan’s article gives an in-depth picture of the entire situation. I think that there is much more to this story… first, someone told players that GNC products should be ok. The letter went out in November with the three exceptions, however, that was certainly not the first time that players were told that GNC products should be fine. Second, it is clear that the trainer/nutritionist/MLBPA are more at fault than Romero. The fact that none of them stepped up and said, “This is illegal, JC.” tells you that someone wasn’t doing their job. Third, this is not an attack on JC but an attack on Patrick Arnold; the chemist behind Andro, THG (the designer steroid) and BALCO. Arnold’s lab created and marketed the drug that Romero tested positive for… in my opinion, the MLB likely found out about Arnold’s lab and the new drug and immediately took steps to ban the drug without notifying anyone (so even if Romero had called the hotline, I’m not so sure that it would have failed). This is the MLB taking a stand against the guy who created the steroid that beat the MLB testing… this is the MLB blackballing Arnold. Retroactively, Romero was caught in this net and it is a shame. He had a chance to take a 25 game suspension and didn’t because the MLBPA union attorney told him that he would win in arbitration… now he’s out for 50 games. You can say what you want but this situation is much more complicated than your run of the mill steroid violation.

Eyre, Durbin, Park, Condrey can all go after hitters in the 7th..

Happ is a starter… or you trade him

Jason B — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:10:01 +0000

PSU Joe… Great idea. Here’s another idea…. Sign Lowe, move Happ to the pen and now we’re better off than before. Otherwise, what do we have for a 7th inning guy?
