Accusing him? Raffy got caught and hasn't even really denied it. We're all still waiting for his explanation. but, it's starting to feel like OJ's search for the real killers.

Oh come on...who's being naive now?

if the O's cut him becuase his record lately has been terrible, that would one thing. but they cite the "morals clause" in everything i've seen about Ponson. they signed Ponson when he was 16 years old. 13 years ago. you really think they would cut him for havign a bad patch in his pitching? that's when guys get sent to the minors for a while. the guy has got a drinking problem and his stat stink right now. but Raffy has a roid problem and his stats suck even worse. only one of those guys deserves some help and support.

My point is that both guys have a drug problem. And both guys have crap stats lately. The O's claimed to release a guy for his drinking problem. Why not the same for the other guy with the drug problem since that guy dragged down his 20+ years in the sport, the O's, MLB and all pro-sports?

Ok, how are Raffy's #'s doing? Not too good since the shit hit the fan.

Raffy cheated and it helped the O's win games. Ponson is a drunk whose life is falling appart. So, who would you turn your back on?

All of the Finley brothers are great hockey players. Only kidding. This is a big move for the Spurs, who could use a little help from Finley (the basketball player) to become a real dynasty. But it's a bigger move for Finley because it's his chance to get a ring. At 32, he can afford to wait it out a couple of years if Eva pulls a Yoko Ono and drags the team down this season.

pretty weak move if you ask me. so the guy has a drinking problem...better than shooting roids. if Raffy still has a locker in the clubhouse, how can they kick out Ponson?

Tulane hungry to play
I read and wrote (nbx.com) about other universities trying to cherry pick these guys away within days after the storm. Disgusting. Good to see the NCAA step in on the right side and even faster than FEMA.
