i think davis was dumb for pushing it adn continuing to take adderall without the exemption (and after a first failed test) but the fact that he had an exemption, then didnt, is problematic to me. if mlb granted him the exemption in the first place, surely he had a good case for why he needed it, so what changed and when?

again, hes not innocent here but a lot of the details here make this whole system seem kinda misguided imo.

but im also of the mind that its a brutally long season and players should be allowed to take what they need to take to stay focused. thats a whole new can of worms i guess

My work season is brutally long. Longer than an MLB season. Hell, I bet they don't wake up at 5:30 in the morning for work. And I have to put in more than a decade before I retire. Should I be able to take whatever I want to get through it?

I find a baseball hard to track as well. Its one of the big reasons I don't play MLB.

I personally know people who perform my job at Chris Davis levels (.196, 1.4 K's per game). They don't make 10 million a year.

Seems like you could do as well as Davis was.

nicely done O's....nail in the Yankee season coffin..

I hope they're the team that knocks them out of the playoffs officially.

Going Wednesday - I'm hoping they split the first two with Toronto.

Ubaldo on the mound tonight so you may get your wish.

Would be ironic and yet somehow fitting if they clinched with Ubaldo on the mound.

If they lose tonight (and I hope they don't), I'm going Wednesday as well.

I have track tonight and I'm 5 weeks out from the marathon, so I have to be responsible and run.

Last night was fun, except for the Caleb Joseph almost getting hit in the face.

Got Haggis?
