Hopefully they'll have proof. Supposedly Tony Bosch is testifying. Think we'll have more Congressional hearings?

Having a bad doctor testify (and be handed civil immunity in the process) testify is not "proof." I hope they have something more up their sleeve because I would hate to see these guys get off

Boy was I wrong about this.
Happy to see all these guys get their just desserts.
One thing I haven't seen discussed-if a player of suspended does his salary (that he's not getting) count against the cap?

How bad do you think A Rod will get hit?

I've been wondering the same thing.

Are you joking?
The only way he gets near Cooperstown is if they have a piece on the steroid era. Only question who is the face of the era-bonds or a-rod

So who can chage the outcome of the game more? One guy on roids or the manager?

He never get against his team which helps his case (although I agree even betting for his team is problematic and changes how you manage)

According to the CBA, a player's salary while suspended does not count against the cap.
