His numbers aren't too bad, but it also looks like he hasn't pitched yet this season.

I wonder if it's one of those things where he took meds to help recover for an injury but it came up as a PED?

Like Steroids for instance is used for anti inflammatory meds to help with muscle issues.

or some over the counter supplement.  

my eyes went to Mike Trout and suspended PED's all at once.  

I thought I was having a heart attack!!

Seriously though.  that would have to be the one thing that would probably make me not enjoy baseball for a really long time.

Or maybe he just flat-out used PEDs.

I love the charitable approach but these guys are given clear instructions and have help from the union when evaluating medications.

Maybe if Mike Trout gets on PED's we won't need to find any new bats.

That's not a good look for Trout.

Pujols needs some.

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced the penalty, saying Cox tested positive for methylphenidate, which is more commonly known as Ritalin.

Why in the world is Trout getting married, especially to a regular person?  I really hope there is an iron clad pre-nup.

If I had to to guess I would say because he is in love.

For those of us that don't know what this really does, how does this make you a better baseball player?  Is it just something that helps with concentration or alertness?  Is it basically an upper?  I think back in the day the players used greenies.  Would it be similar to that?

So?  Dude is too young to be worrying about that stuff and you don't need to get married if you're in love.  I'm just really hoping he is smart enough to at least get the pre-nup.  Marriage is on the way out anyway so I have no idea why he would make this mistake.

I'm not of the belief that marriage is a mistake and I pay a pretty penny each month in alimony.  To each their own I guess.

Sorry about that but yeah, to each their own.  I am merely pointing out that there is no reason Trout should be getting married.  Unless of course, his family is extremely religious.

[m0nkey]

He should share with mike. 

 

So mike can get pujols back on his routine

Or he wants to get married because it means something to him.
