    Almost nobody hits like he did so late in his career.

    Every statistical anomaly is now a suspect.

    Please stop. I'm so tired of the "look at him, he doesn't look like he's juicing" test.

    I don't disagree. But he doesn't look cartoonish, like Mac and Sosa did in 98.

    Let's just guess this isn't the whole story.

    Especially when the interpretation of the actual image is patently absurd.

    99 times out of 100, I hear something like this and I roll my eyes. But I REALLY want to believe this. You'd have to be an absolute moron to be a player of that stature and test positive for something obvious and egregious.

    That's how I felt about A-Rod.

    Only a matter of time before Pujols gets dragged into the mix.

    The point is, they are legal, but against baseball's rules.

    Doctor could be in trouble though.

    Cosmo, we had a thread on this, Pujols went from a decent to good Low A hitter to the MVP on the NL in about 11 months.

    That just does not happen.

    Btw, the 'got it from a doctor' story seems to be coming from Scott Boras.
