[romeo212000]

how do you know what the MLB might be considering? you post like you have inside info

Because the penalty for a first offense is 50 games.

Because the penalty for a first offense is 50 games.

but mlb is not looking at it as a 1st offense

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Because the penalty for a first offense is 50 games.

again....for a positive test under the "normal" guidelines... yes.

This situation isnt that.

This cropped up on another site. Probably old news but the USA Today put this out today:

Jack Clark discussed this on his St Louis radio program:

Former MLB player accuses Pujols, Verlander of PEDs | For The Win

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 2m
Miguel Tejada has been suspended 105 games after testing positive for an amphetamine, mlb announces.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 1m
Per source, as @jeffpassan reported, Tejada had three positive tests, two recent. No penalty for first, 25 games for second, 80 for third.

This A-Rod, PED's Non-suspension Will affect Teams ability to Qualify for the Playoffs!!!!
Just wonder what the Players on teams that are competing for playoff spots thinking. Everytime A-Rod ( he is Suspened making $170,000 per game ) helps Yankees defeat a playoff contender , ,Boston, Tampa, Oakland ,Baltimore, Texas, Cleveland, KC, Detroit. Hell even the Yankees could make the Playoffs.
What if his appeal is denied after the Season? Too late then. Every game Yankees play with A-Rod affects all the other teams.
Will all the Yankee Wins with A-Rod be Nullified?
Then what?
If Yankees knock out another team , MLB will have Hell to pay??

Great point. Something that the younger players will have the responsibility to address as they push to clean up the game and open up the CBA again sometime in the future... good of the game versus the player's individual right to appeal.

They won't and they shouldn't be. A-Rod has every right to due process. Sorry that you don't agree with it, but that's how it works.

Due process should never suffer for some mythical "good of the game concept." After watching the umpire crew in the game last night, I am not convinced they give a damn about the good of the game.

Could not agree more. Last night was a complete failure if the umps were demonstrating their concerns for "The good of the game" Not saying every call was wrong but the ones that were was beyond bad.

If Selig gave a shit about the good of the game he'd address the assholes that are the umpires.
