Say it ain’t so :(

Though I can take solace knowing that it takes a team to win a championship and I can still justify our two this decade even if they were both juicing.

I just wanted to think that Papi was clean, he always came out strong against steroid use. Hard to think my favorite player on the team is tainted.

I can’t and won’t root for a player who cheats.

He spent 6 season in Minnesota barely able to hit the baggy, came to Boston and turned into the 2nd coming of Babe Ruth. Why do you think 40 home runs use to be a rare feat. I thought Ortiz was trying to play clean at the beginning of this season.

What the real shame of this list is, is someone has all the names and is slowly releasing them for max impact. Next will be a few guys that are slightly smaller stars, and then so on til we get to the .200 hitting 4A guys.

I’ve been wondering all year why Oritz couldn’t generate the bat speed to catch up to fastballs, guessing that maybe his “source” (Manny) was gone…..but, of course, thinking that was just worst-case scenario. It turns out it’s probably true.

 Sort of taints his 2004 heroics. Oh, well, at least he cheated to beat the Yankees!!!

This hurts a lot because I was just able to write off this slump as he had lost some bat speed and his wrist not being what it was. Turns out he was just deflated from not using anymore.

Seriously though who wasn’t on the list? At this point lets just out everyone because I think everyone deserves to know.

because drug testing was implemented in ’04.

This makes me sad though. I knew there was a good chance for it, and I still didn’t want to believe it anyway. I may be naive for wanting a more “pure” game, but damnit I don’t care. Oh well.

because its over: Manny’s gone, Papsmear is a cheater and washed up, DiceK is lost somewhere, V-tech is on his last leg, Dusty will never be the player he was last year, Lowell is washed up, Jed and ellsbury are way overated, wakefield sucks and shouldn’t have been an allstar this year, Beckett is lights out every other year, Papelbum is just annoying and will never be half of what Mariano Rivera is and was, Its amazing that Drew has been healthy so far but will that last. Bay and Youk are the only players you guys can count on, so Good luck watching the God Dam Yankees take over the AL like the good old days. Hope you bosux fans took alot of pictures since 04’ because that is all you have left.

This is just bad for the greatest sport in the land. I am a Yankees fan, but having Ortiz on the list is bad for the sport. Papi was one of the bright spots in the sport.

I am truly sorry to hear about this.

well when he wasn’t playing..lol

    Ramirez and Papi on roids, no surprise, #27 coming this year for NY

I don’t know why this should come as a huge surprise to anyone……you don’t go from hitting 12 home runs a year to 40 home runs a year without being juiced. I was listening to Colin Cowherd ..(or, as I like to call him “Colon Cow-Turd”) and he said that he knew Ortiz was juiced for a long time…..I think it’s interesting that the news broke in THE NEW YORK TIMES!…….personally, I can’t stand the yanks or the redsucks.

Putting aside the baseball side of things.

The most upsetting part of this is for me, is it painted a truly likable man as a phony. I watched an interview with Ortiz in which he was asked about steroid use. He responded by talking about how he would never dare touch them.

Why? Because he loves his kids, baseball, and his family. He would never put his health on the line because his kids don’t care how he does on the field. They just want their daddy, he would never put his health at risk and possibly take their father away from them.

When I saw that interview I believed him, I thought he was a good dad, a nice guy, and a great ballplayer.

But If he really did take steroids,what a phony……what kinda scumbag uses his kids as part of his lie!

Disappointing day….say it ain’t true.

As soon as Papi said that he had no way of knowing whether he had ever taken a banned substance or not, we should have been expecting this. If there was anyone on the Sox, other than Manny, that we could have reasonably assumed to be on this list, it was Ortiz. I don’t think this it for 2004 Red Sox names, though. I’m hearing Nixon, Damon, Varitek, and Foulke being floated around at the moment. I wish they would just release the entire list. Either way, these lawyers are scumbags, the whole situation is about to blow up, and it’s an unbelievably disappointing day (and week) for Red Sox Nation.

what an idiot…didn’t even know he was doing it. Because there is no way he knew he could elude this…terrible before ‘03 and terrible after enforceable punishment. can you imagine what ryan howard and chase utley could do on the juice. stop worrying about yanks/sox, Phils can’t be beat.

just blasted a 3 run shot to dead center in the 8th over the triangle in dead center!! Eat that, haters!

dude, we are talking about admmitted users (Pettitte, Chuck K, Giambi, Sheffield and Arod) and guys named in the Mitchell report (Clemens, Justice). We are not talking about “obvious” users. If we were Teix, Damon, Posada (yeah-all 38 year old catchers hit like that) would be on the list too, dumb ass. It is amazing-The Yankees have the most confirmed users in history, and they gloat about other team’s players being outed. That is why they are the most hated team/fanbase in history of all sports(see the 2008 study that polled 1000,000 voters online)

one extra 0 there-it was 100,000 voters.

Red Soxs World Series wins in 04 and 07 mean nothing now. The whole team was roiding during those years it was so obvious and now its confirmed. Yes some Yankees have used roids recently cant deny that its a fact but lets just remember all those years before when we won with out any steroids or their players on this list before it all started and the red soxs still lost. Even back in the late 90’s. So again HAHAHAHAHA. Yankees first place forever a true team now get use to it. You can say 8-0 all you want and all i will reply with is 26 to 7 you got alot of catching up to do and it will be tough with no more steriods. Good Luck ;) Yankees Rule, Soxs Drool

Was at the Cards-Dodgers game today. Manny got quite a loud serious of boos. In fact I think I was literally the only person in the stadium cheering my lungs out for him.

Sucks. How do you live with that as a City? Think of all that false joy that came with winning by cheating.

Back to the drawing board i guess.

I bet Theo knew all along.

I see why you liked doing it to us so much so now its our turn. Its funny you loved to attack The Yankees and the fans when the Mitchel report came out from a guy who was a Boston fan (so of course there was gonna be some bias) pretty much saying all new york guys they could because the two main contributors for that report were trainers in new york. So of course there will be more new york names on that list. If it added trainers from all teams there would be a lot more names on that list including half of the red soxs teams as well. And when i said pretty much the whole red soxs team was using i was not kidding stats prove my point don’t believe me look at the changes in number. that doesnt happen over night for a few years than just die like they have now. Your hitting coach wasnt that good. So again if you cant see that then your just a very one sided very ignorant mind. Facts speak louder than my words ever could. So again you have not really won a title for a long time. Yea you cheated and won but did you really win? NOOOO. All those homeruns and hits were helped very much. Yes we cant take those titles away but they will forever be tainted. Like the astrik that should be next to Bonds Records. So for now we will kick you why your down like you would to us soo many times =) and just keep replying to this it makes me laugh.

Nuff. Said.

Jeter, Tino, Posada, Girardi, Bernie Williams, Paul O’Neil, Andy Pettitte Pre injury when he addmited to it, David Cone, David Wells, Orlando Hernandez, Shane Spencer, Marino Rivera, Mike Stanton, Jeff Nelson, Scott Broucis, Soriano ……………….

I just wanna add one more thing to as a giant fan and it just never gets old 18 WINS and ONE GIANT LOSS HAHAHA you can never live that down

When posada fails a test let me know ill gladly take that back and i am not syaing the report was fake or innaccurate all i am saying was there a little bias. Espically since the sources where two trainers for the new york teams. So what i cant spell brosius all you did by saying that and nothign else was prove that another great player the yankees had was not on roids. And i would be suprised if tino bernie and all of them came up on the list they never hit for power or anything the difference was that was an actual team then they won games the hard way which they seem to have forgot when they statred getting all the steriod players from other teams AROD Giambi Clemens all those names not true home grown yankees. Yes they were on the team i cant stop that but they came in as users. Out of my list you could only pick on 2 names really one has never tested postive and the other only did after his injury.

Your “championships” are now forever tainted. Blacksox – Redsox What’s the difference?

The curse lives on …. 1918 !!!!!

If yo cant take what you dish out then keep your mouth shut. Maybe not all of you but most of you red sox fans loved to dis the yankees once they were caught on steriods and now you cant handle it coming back your way. Its all its not true it was a protein shake not real steriods. come on really just know you had this comming when you kept ripping on our guys. No take it like a good little b*&c^ like all the red soxs and there fans are
