The long awaited over blown baseball PED suspensions were announced today and absent from the list were Melky Cabrera and Bartolo Colon because they had paid for their crime last year. The Giants with the impression that they were the drug kings of baseball and that the Barry Bonds scandal was still fresh in many minds refused to even consider signing Melky Carbrera this year even though they were in desperate need of a left fielder. Did they over react? Colon got the same penalty for the same crime, served his time, returns to A's and got invited the All Star game an nobody said a word. . . Remember when Barry Bonds set baseball's home run record there were those who said don't worry a real clean player Alex Rodriquez would soon over take Bonds and baseball will have well respected worthy all time home run king. Sure we will! . . One fact that was clear with all the comments about this scandal is that players are rarely tested.
