Oh, Act Like a Man, For God's Sake

Palmeiro reportedly blames teammate for ’roid
Orioles star tells arbitration panel name of player who gave him substance

Baltimore Orioles slugger Rafael Palmeiro, who was suspended earlier this season for a positive steroid test, told a baseball arbitration panel that a teammate gave him an unknown substance, the Baltimore Sun reported Thursday, citing two unnamed sources.

Palmeiro named the teammate to the arbitration panel, the Sun reported, citing one of the sources, but apparently did not link the substance to his positive steroid test.


"HE made me do it!" doesn't begin to cut it when you're 41 years old and a gazillionaire, who made his fame and fortune playing a game. We should all be so blessed. I talked to the guy that hooked him up. He says it was cough medicine and I've no reason to doubt him, not being an 'ulterior motive' kinda guy. So act like a man and STFU already, you whiney cheater.
UPDATE: Pffft. The Orioles finally say SEE YA!!
BALTIMORE - Rafael Palmeiro’s tumultuous season came to an end Friday when the Baltimore Orioles, tired of the distraction stemming from his suspension for steroids, told him he was no longer welcome on the team.

Dude, you're a spokesman for Viagra, and we assume a consumer of same, because your bratwurst is now a cocktail frank, and we are supposed to believe that someone slipped you a micky?

He was the victim of an scientific experiment from a mad GENIUS boy inventor.
