If this story is true and if its a significant player, this could really devastate this organization IMO...
A lot of big ifs though...I'm sure congress has heard the name of the player...
Palmeiro really coming off like a stinker;
first he's adamant he never used, then he shows us, he was capable of taking things he had no idea what was in them (at the very least)
The earplugs , the fake injury so he could avoid trips to Boston and New York, now this new story...
I think a lie detector is in order at some point...
meanwhile Bonds just homered before breakfast :drink:

I wish all these idiots would just come clean instead of making themselves look like fools.
If all of these players just came out and said, "Yea, I took steroids and I know a lot of others that have too. It is a shame this is where the game has gone, but now it is almost a requirement to compete. We need to get this under control to bring the game back."
I would have a lot more respect and be ready to move on. Until they all stop being *****'s and trying to act like all of the fans have an IQ of 20, I will be bashing these idiots and looking at them as cowards.
If you have the balls to cheat, have the balls to admit it when you get caught.

Palmeiro is garbage if you ask me.
Skipper says Palmeiro might need to stay away
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Rafael Palmeiro's season with the Baltimore Orioles might be over.
Orioles interim manager Sam Perlozzo said that if the first baseman had disclosed the name of a teammate who supplied him with the substance that led to Palmeiro's suspension for steroid use, it would probably be best that Palmeiro not return to the team.
The Sun in Baltimore, citing unidentified sources, reported Thursday that Palmeiro had identified a teammate by name.
"If in fact that was true, then it probably would not be a good idea" for Palmeiro to return, Perlozzo said Thursday before the Orioles played the Yankees. "It's all speculation as far as I know."
Congressional investigators have been interviewing the Orioles following Palmeiro's 10-day suspension, which began Aug. 1. Palmeiro went 2-for-26 with one RBI after his return and was sent home by Baltimore on Sept. 5 for rehabilitation on his right knee and left ankle.
"I know that he still would like to come back," Perlozzo said. "He doesn't want to be a distraction and all that. I pretty much told him that as far as I was concerned, it was an organizational decision."
Orioles executive vice president Jim Beattie said no decision would be made until Friday at the earliest.
"We're talking to Raffy right now about that," Beattie said in a telephone interview. "Rather than comment on hearsay -- I don't think it's a proper thing for me to do -- we'll wait and see when we get into the office."
Perlozzo didn't discuss with Palmeiro what he may or may not have disclosed.
"I did not ask him," he said. "I didn't think that was my job."
Perlozzo understood that if Palmeiro was questioned by investigators, he was bound by the rules if the inquiry.
"I would think if you're under oath, you tell the truth," Perlozzo said. "Isn't that what you're supposed to do?"
Palmeiro's situation is complicated, so Perlozzo wanted the front office to make the decision.
"A lot of things factor in," he said. "Is he going to play or is he not going to play? How much is he going to play? And is it worthwhile to take that chance?"
Arn Tellem, Palmeiro's agent, did not return a telephone call seeking comment. House Government Reform Committee spokesman Dave Marin declined comment

Raffy Fingers Tejada--claims loaded vitamin pill
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AqKdMBdSHLpmVqnGiGOVkg45nYcB?slug=ap-orioles-palmeiro&prov=ap&type=lgns
Palmerio is a gonad-less scumbag, IMO. Instead of fessing up, LIKE A MAN, he dons a little schoolgirl skirt and fingers a blameless team mate for supposedly giving him a loaded vitamin B-12 pill. This ***** shouldn't even be allowed to set foot in the HOF, much less ever play for the O's again. And I say that emphatically, with a finger pointed straight at him, just like he did to Congress.
