Those "technicalities" are in place for a reason.

Umps giveth and umps taketh away. In Johan Santana's case, they definitely giveth. Too bad Armando Galarraga didn't get the same respect.

I really don't blame Melky, cause quite frankly he sucked balls without the juice.

Maybe he can get Braun's lawyer.

Felix Hernandez is perfect through 9 vs the anemic Rays bats.

*hoping to mush*

I don't care much for Victor Conte, but it's hard to imagine there's anyone on the planet who knows more about this subject?

Nothing new regarding testosterone (see Landis, Floyd). Just like anything else, atheletes (or horse trainers) are going to push the envelope. Most are smart enough to stay below the testing limits. Some, make mistakes or are dumb enough to get caught.

Anyone who believes most atheletes are clean, aren't taking every advantage and pushing the testing envelope, are naive.

At what point do you think the Rays take an honest look at Derek Shelton (the Rays hitting coach)?

They've been no-hit what, like 3 times since he's been here?

They consistently struggle with hitting, players that come in (Re: Scott, Keppinger, Reynolds, Matsuki, etc.) come in on a tear, and go ice cold within two weeks.

Of course I realize the payroll isn't that of some of the bigger markets, but they were hitting better with worse scrubs in the late 90's - where there's smoke .....
