A digression towards baseball.
1) JC Romero coming back. 50 game suspension seemed somehow short. Will he be the same without his suppplements? (See e.g., David Ortiz).
2) Manny in the all-star game. People are already speculating that Ortiz's power outage is due to a rapid stoppage of some sort of supplement, given that he was Ramirez's best buddy on the Botox, er, Bosox, and has one HR and a below the Mendoza line seaon avg. ESPN says he just may be old.
3) I also wonder about Abreu, who's power numbers took a precipitous decline after he won the All-Star home run contest as a Phillie and that supposedly messed up his swing. Even tho his HR numbers are way down (1 this year), he continues to hit right around 300, although he's gonna have to pick it up to keep his streak of 100 RBI seasons alive.
4) One amazing thing about Howard is that despite his struggles for long stretches each season, he still manages to accumulate RBIs. He's second on the team to Ibanez who's been on fire.
5) I like that the steroid chickens are coming home to roost as it looks like Manny's gonna get voted in and put them in a bad position. Watch as Manny finally emerges to "voluntarily" withdraw himself from consideration. Go back to picking your nose, Selig, you sactimonious phony.
