Choose Your Poision: Roids, HGH or Beer?

Posted on February 26, 2026 by davidbloom

Well, I have to say I agree with Shyster about Ken Rosenthal. The baseball insider at Fox think Bonds is bad for the game, but is fine with Giambi, Roberts, et al. I wonder what his thoughts are about Brett Boone and if drinking heavily while as a player is ok? These Nats […]
