No Wonder He Needs Viagra
Since he's been using weenie-shrinking pills to hit all those home runs:
Rafael Palmeiro, who last month became the fourth member of baseball's 3,000-hit, 500-home run club, will be suspended for violating baseball's drug-testing plan.
Of course, maybe someone spiked his pee:
In a prepared statement, Palmeiro said he could not explain how the steroids got into his body. "I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period," he said. "Ultimately, although I never intentionally put a banned substance into my body, the independent arbitrator ruled that I had to be suspended under the terms of the program."
Blech. Drug-using atheletes should be banned forever.

Speaking of weenies, "Ultimately, although I never intentionally put a banned substance into my body, the independent arbitrator ruled that I had to be suspended under the terms of the program" is a textbook sounding weenie excuse. The MSNBC story headlines it 'STEROID SHOCKER'. Um, not to anyone whoever took a good look at him.

You know, on Friday, I was telling Steve Silver that, although I suspected Palmiero, I couldn't deny him the Hall of Fame based solely on viagra commercial fueled suspicion.
I'd like to thank Raffy for giving me a reason.

Hmph. Raffi's toast. I said it before, I sez it again - if you juice, you never go to the Hall. The end. (We'd have to empty a lot of busts out of Canton if the idea catches on.)
