I can assure you that I am not on the list of baseball
players about to be suspended
Yes, but are you on the list of Blag writers to be suspended? Some of us could use that, I think.
Nope. Just little ol' me. As far as I know, I'm not being suspended in the foreseeable future.
So not long ago, reports started to surface that Major League Baseball, the organization that has done more to destroy baseball in the last 15 years than any other, has threatened to suspend a long list of players for up to 100 games for violations of the league's substance abuse policy. This coming after Major League Baseball has threatened to suspend most of those same players numerous times for violations of the league's substance abuse policy.
See, the last time this list of players surfaced, it was in conjunction with a small pharmaceutical company in Florida. This company was said to have provided steroids and other illegal substances to certain players. Those players' identities were discovered when a list was "leaked" to the media. The league threatened to suspend those players. Those players laughed at the accusation saying that there was no real evidence, and they were right.
Yesterday, it was announced that the owner of the aforementioned small pharmaceutical company would cooperate with Major League Baseball's investigation of the events, which would mean providing all of the evidence that the league was looking for in order to suspend the aforementioned players. None of the players are laughing just yet. When the investigation is concluded, a fairly lengthy list of players is expected to be suspended, there will be a long line of lawyers at the commissioner's door seeking to appeal or reduce those suspensions, and the whole ordeal will provide one more laughing stock to the joke that is Major League Baseball.
At least, I can rest assured that my name isn't on that list.
