[jonnithundahhhh]

they should just release the whole list

[badasswarren]

Furthers my point...

Sox are cheaters. Can't do it themselves.

And I dont want any red sox fans replying "They would have won without it".

Steroids makes a difference. They dont win in 04 without them.

and they probably took anabolic roids, not more crazy things like clemens took (viagra, aderall,ect).

@patsrule213 When no journalists come out and say its 100% false, it's usually true. He's made about $100 being a career DH(look it up). Of course Clemens is a lying bum, but ortiz is a lying hypocritical bum. He's juicing, period. Suppliments, my ass. So... "they made up the list"? So the media is resorting to elementary school playground tactics? Way to take the lame way out. Everyone hates boston because its the epicenter of sports hypocrisy, especially the entire sox organization & fans

@mst3k54

And all stories are automatically 100% true? Especially when this "list" is from the government. There probably isn't a list. They just made it up to make Yankee fans hate Boston. And they knew that Yankee fans would believe it because everyone hates Boston sports. When did Ortiz get $100 million dollars? He only make a few million a year. And Ortiz admitted to only taking supplements, which are not steroids. At least Ortiz admits it, unlike Roger Clemens.

People hating the Yankees! Lol, That's a conspiracy theory at best. Everyone loves the Yankees. No one really cares about if any Yankee players did actual syeriods. Now becasuse it's Boston, everyone will assume the worst because it's Boston. Now Ortiz did admit to using supplements, which are not steriods. But those supplements could have triggered the positive result, but it can't be proven until this court order is removed and MLB can say what they want about the 2003 testing.

@patsrule213 The story is that he tested Positive regardless. But, "stress"?? He has $100 Mil in the bank and he plays baseball for a living. Heck he isn't even a real player, he's a career DH! He has arguably the BEST job in America! The only thing he'd be stressing is whether or not we all found out about the Roids he definitely took. Look at papi's Minnesota numbers then his boston numbers. The sox are 100% guilty of everything they hate the Yankees for. Only difference between them, 27-7

@mst3k54

My real point was that there were 104 names on the list, but Major League Baseball confirmed that there were only 83 confirmed positive tests, and many individuals were tested more than once. And just because your name is on this list, it doesn't mean that you tested positive. At least 21 names on that list tested negative. So, could he have tested postive, absolutely, but there's no way to figure it out unless the list is revealed. And his heart problem was caused by stress. 

[mst3k54]

@patsrule213 Yeah, you're right, he didn't take ANY steroids... It's totally normal for pro athletes in the prime of their careers to have sudden and severe heart conditions and joint injuries that linger for 2/3 years...(cough)

[patsrule213]

There were only 83 confirmed positive tests, and there were 104 names on the list? That's just falsifying news, which is legal. And Major League Baseball has no idea why your name is on this list? Isn't that a little bit confusing? There are at least 21 confirmed individuals who tested negative on that list. Performance enhancing drugs are not steroids. Did you know that ritalin is banned from baseball. Ortiz did not take steroids, but he could have taken supplements, which are not steroids.
