Some Vitamin B and caffine does not make a controlled substance.; ২২/৯/১১, ৯:৪৬ AM
Bob Ellison বলেছেন...: These energy drinks seem to be hangover palliatives in disguise.; ২২/৯/১১, ৯:৪৮ AM
madAsHell বলেছেন...: J.J. Putz?
PUTZ!
It could be the punchline in a vagina joke.; ২২/৯/১১, ৯:৫৪ AM
traditionalguy বলেছেন...: The placebo effect maybe what they need to give themselves confidence.

Mental alertness is important in baseball and the games go so slow compared to football and basketball.; ২২/৯/১১, ৯:৫৪ AM
traditionalguy বলেছেন...: I take it that J.J. is not Jewish.; ২২/৯/১১, ৯:৫৬ AM
Fred4Pres বলেছেন...: It is amazing how the Mariners get players that do nothing for them who then move on and do something for some other team. Why do you think that is?; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:০২ AM
Triangle Man বলেছেন...: Caffeine is a performance enhancer, just ask any endurance athlete. However there I no reason it shouldn't be available and uses in moderation.; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:০৯ AM

Wasn't there something a few years ago suggesting that peppermint rubbed on under the nostrils gives a short-term boost? For, say, sprinters?; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:১২ AM
edutcher বলেছেন...: Putz?

And people used to joke about Elvis Peacock and Vagas Ferguson.; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:১৫ AM
ndspinelli বলেছেন...: Putz just needs to get a script for Adderall to treat his ADD, just like hundreds of baseball players do.

Former Brewer, Jason Kendall, was involved in a nasty divorce in KC last year. His bride alleged he was addicted to Adderall and ate them like candy. I'm waiting for a good sportswriter to track how there have been more late season collapses by players and teams since they started testing for speed. It's a loooong season w/o those greenies.; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:১৬ AM
traditionalguy বলেছেন...: The team's drug dealers deliver bags of No-Doz tablets every week.

Seriously, it is all CYA for the teams who have to say that they do not promote it in case a player dies.; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:১৭ AM
Strick বলেছেন...: "If fans can sit in the stands and drink it, why can't we drink it during games? We're human, too."

From the article. Is he quoting Babe Ruth's comment on beer?; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:২২ AM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: I always thought that Putz should have stayed with the Mets.

If ever there was a player who epitomized a team it would be a Putz on the Mets!; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:২৭ AM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: Of course they still have Jose Reyes and David Wright so there are still two putzes on the Mets.

Just not an official bona fide putz.; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:২৮ AM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: Wait a minute!

The theme of today is Vaginas!

First the post about vagina jokes and now you quote a putz!

You just need to get Garage Mahal a few tags and you will have covered all the bases.; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:৩০ AM
cubanbob বলেছেন...: If ever there was a case for a name change... he should sue his parents for infliction of emotional distress with a name like that. He does however have a point, this drug mania is beyond the ridiculous.; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:৫১ AM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: You think JJ has a case you should see his sister Ima.; ২২/৯/১১, ১০:৫৫ AM
Carol_Herman বলেছেন...: This is what baseball really needs. Taking people who buy franchises ... to sell stuff ... And, then telling them there's profitable stuff they cannot sell.

And, at the gate, they search your pockets, worried that you might be bringing in a bomb.

Or a container of Red Bull.

Think of all those empty seats you see ... when you watch a game on TV ... And, you might discover what malls of America are also asking ...

Where did all the customers go?; ২২/৯/১১, ১১:৩৪ AM
Mary Beth বলেছেন...: If they think that overuse might lead to dehydration then wouldn't telling the players this be enough? Maybe it's just that banning the drinks is cheaper than educating the players about them.; ২২/৯/১১, ১১:৪৪ AM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: What would Rickey Branch do?; ২২/৯/১১, ১২:০৭ PM
Psychedelic George বলেছেন...: Get the helmets off the football players.

Get the masks off the goalies.

Get back.

Get down.

Git.

Grrrr.; ২২/৯/১১, ১২:১৯ PM
Fred4Pres বলেছেন...: Trooper, I would suggest that as a bumpersticker, but people would obviously not get the joke and consider you a dumb fuck.; ২২/৯/১১, ১২:২৭ PM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: I was thinking those little bracelets like the holy rollers wear.; ২২/৯/১১, ১২:৩৯ PM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: I am already doing great with my "What Would Jesus Montero Do" bracelets with the NY charm.; ২২/৯/১১, ১২:৪০ PM
Scott M বলেছেন...: I was thinking those little bracelets like the holy rollers wear.

How Does Jesus Skate?; ২২/৯/১১, ১২:৪১ PM
Fred4Pres বলেছেন...: How about, "What would Carol Herman do?"; ২২/৯/১১, ১:০৯ PM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: Fred4Pres said...
How about, "What would Carol Herman do?"

Well the answer to that would be Grover Cleveland.; ২২/৯/১১, ১:১১ PM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: Or Cleveland Grover as the case may be.; ২২/৯/১১, ১:১১ PM
VanderDouchen বলেছেন...: Troop,

I can affirm that Cleveland Grover is one heck ova lot tougher than Sesame Street Grover.
