I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but as promised, I have a couple of observations from the David Ortiz press conference yesterday. No, its not about the fact that he of course denies everything. Although, admitting that he was reckless in buying over-the-counter supplements and vitamins. I am not fooled by these guys. They know what substances are not allowed. They know what supplements have these substances in them. They know they aren't supposed to be taking this stuff. What I am surprised to see is how he doesn't know how to speak f***ing english. Now, I have a 4 year old who can speak english just fine. Why can't Ortiz speak english when he has been here for 15 some-odd years???? Don't they have some kind of supplement that he can "recklessly" buy to help him with that? He will of course get a pass because he is a likeable guy, but we here at Gherkin's Place don't offer free passes. What we will offer is a free link:
P.S- When is Peter Gammons going to make the "transition"???
Also, I think A-Rod is as douchy as the next guy, but he is getting the shaft here. You think the "accidental legal supplement" excuse would have flown if he used it?
ReplyDeleteLook at Ortiz's rookie baseball card pic and tell me he had got head expansion from creatine...you can see it here:
