Gary Matthews Jr. a juicer?

Great... What does $50M buy you? Center stage in a steroid controversy
apparently...

Problem I see is that even if he got his career year out of a bottle, the
investigation is not going to pursue the users, just the supply chain. So
without a conviction or a positive test, the Angels would likely be forced
to eat that contract even when his performance resembles that of his
previous lackluster seasons.

Sure there is no evidence yet, so I will have to reserve judgement on the
guy, but why on earth would he be a customer of a Florida pharmacy when he
lived in Cali and worked in Texas? Only reasonable explanation would seem
to be that he could get something at that pharmacy that he couldn't get
elsewhere.

And when asked, he didn't deny it. If it were me and I was innocent, I
would have shouted it from the rooftops the second the report came out.

If evidence of guilt comes out, there is NO WAY I cheer for this guy.
Knowing the Angels, they will do whatever they can to void the contract and
if forced to eat it, not play him by any means necessary short of going with
a 24-man roster all season.

Lifetime ban on all juicers, I say. MLB has to go Kenesaw Mountain on their
asses if they hope to clean up the sport.

Gotta agree with you on this but it's a question of money and when $$
are involved people tend to get all wagon-encircled so I don't expect
much to happen except maybe an "investigation".
