please don't use other players names when speculating on who might be involved.  

I said Mike Trout because it obviously isn’t Mike Trout that game him the drugs.

I seem to remember the Santa Monica paper mentioned cocaine.  I think it was a shot in the dark based on an educated guess of an OD.

Journalism is supposed to be facts not speculation reported as fact. The author was making shit up for clicks. He should be censored from getting a press credential for any Angels events.

iirc, they stated that they had a source, so it wasn't a guess

They're not blaming the team. They just want to know what happened.

If some kid walked into your child's classroom and shot him dead, wouldn't you want to know where/how he got the gun?

That argument isn’t the same.  Their son pulled the trigger in this case.

On a relative scale, this has to be the worst year in Angels' history. 

What an end to a shitty decade.

No argument there.

Maybe one of the Angels players was the source. Somebody had to know this was going on.

I'm all for it being open.  go back and look at the stuff I hid and tell me if it was appropriate.   then you can monitor this thread yourself for more of the same bullshit and keep it clean.  

Let’s keep it real. No reason to censor this topic.  We aren’t beating up a cancer victim here or discussing his method of treatment.

Why would they say anything to a scrub news guy?

Why would they lie about it being cocaine?

If there was a source they would have known it wasn't cocaine. So it was a lie pretending to be a fact.

Just as Occam's razor pretty much told you this was an OD, Occam's razor can also point to a low level clubhouse attendant going out to score some stuff locally for Skaggs once they got into town. Not a player or a higher up.

Had just gotten into town, right?  I mean, I assume that they are checked prior to boarding even a private flight, no?

Bingo

That's a fatal dose of fentanyl next to the penny, 2 milligrams.

The usual clinical dose is 1/40th of that.

This club is no different from any other MLB club when it comes to their players' extracurricular activities.

So the Angels are not the only MLB club that employs Dr Conrad Murray.

Damn. I'd assume that was leftover residue from a powdered donut and lick it up.

Exactly my thought. Bob the assistant to the assistant equipment manager or someone like that is going to make the news for the wrong reasons after doing something he’s probably done a hundred times before.

I'd assume that. Just thought if the league found it to say be a bigger involvement with the Angels that a word of mouth would force Arte to leave cuz they couldn't control it. 

Because every other MLB Club is squeaky clean?  

At best I hope this is a wakeup call to anyone else in the MLB, get help now if you have a similar issue.

But you are discussing another human being.

.12 BAC is equal to 7 drinks, more or less, for a 215 pound man like Skaggs.

So yes, not just a couple of beers. The Oxy and the alcohol, then the fentanyl becomes the kicker into eternity. This damn devil drug, killing untold thousands of our young people!

Not just our young people, brother.  It's killing older people also.  It's the drug that killed Prince, among others

This makes the whole organization look unaccountable. Don’t we have high paid doctors and trainers looking after these guys for pain medication. This news just put our team on a whole new sh*t level. I wonder who else on the team is taking this stuff. There will definitely be much more investigation moving forward. 

So does that mean the team is supposed to drug test these guys weekly? It doesnt stay in the system that long...

Every MLb team has guys doing coke... it isnt an angels thing.

The angels paid a guy to babysit hamilton. It obviously worked wonders.

[failos]

Damn. I blame his injuries

[T.G.]

This is heart breaking news on top of the original heart breaking news.  I feel for his family and his teammates.  You just never know what someone is going through... you just never know.
