A kid who used to play for the Red Sox came out this week and said everyone there is taking them. WHERE IS THE STEROID STORY ON THE RED SOX from Gammons?

He's not writing the story. He has had a brain aneurism surgery.
Read the thread.
Prayers for him.


Must be a liberal secret agenda otherwise.

I am well aware of what happenned to him. The steroids were rampant in the Red Sox clubhouse in 2000 and he never once mentioned it. He is a pawn of the owners. These so called journalists are really nothing more than fans who look the other way to keep their high paying jobs and keep their sources in baseball. Gammons cares about Gammons, not the steroid problem that has moved to high schools and colleges.

Any guy who depends on sources like he does knew what was going on. He just looked the other way.

I'm a Yankee fan and I love Peter Gammons. It doesn't matter what team you're a fan of now; when I read this on this board, I was shocked. I'm praying that he makes a full recovery.

As for whether he's biased or not, I definitely don't think so (though my Yankee fan bretheren think he is), but I still don't think that a debate on that belongs here. Even if he is biased, so what? The man came close to dying and is not yet out of the woods.

DTS, you should take ArlJims advice and get back on your meds. LOL.

Young people stupid enough to use steroids have cut out their own destinies. I have trouble feeling sorry for them. They shouldnt depend on a journalist to help save them for whatever comes there way. Cant blame a guy who is just trying to make a living.

Journalists need to do their job and report stories. Same garbage goes on in Washington. People get away with crap because journalists look the other way so they can get an invite to a party. Ridiculous.

How about a journalist just giving us the truth. Gammons knows everything that goes on in baseball. He just covered it up.

Enough of your insults.
I don't need meds...you do.
Plenty have responded to your rants.
You need help, Exceller.
If anyone disagrees with your narrow mindset, you don't state facts about the topic that you disagree with, just bring out your insults and judgements.
btw, nice compassion for a guy that has had brain surgery....

I won't be responding to any more of your threads.
It's a waste.

Oh no, not that. I hope I will be able to sleep tonight. Maybe I can borrow some of your meds. LOL.

I guess all the young people that might die from steroid use are no big deal because they aren't a celeb like Gammons. He obviously wasn't too concerned about them.

Yeah, because kids using Steroids is Peter's fault - the only ones to blame are the kids themselves. Sorry - at some point, they have to take responsibility for their actions.

I find it funny that you're getting on Peter's case (because he didn't pursue a story hard enough, as if he lacks some moral fiber), at a time when he is seriously ill. Seems like a contradiction to me.

Well I can see your point to a degree but with everything that has been put out there in the last 10 years on steroids, I hardly blame Peter Gammons for contributing to the young people's steroid use. Any high school athlete that uses steroids isnt worth the piss that comes out of his you know what. Sorry, but its just the truth. It would be like me going home doing and 8 ball of coke and wanting people to feel sorry for me when my heart explodes.
