		<description><![CDATA[Compensate for something?  You mean like not hitting HRs...no kidding.  And no way to get stronger other than using illegal substances right?

But if the HGH and whatever other drugs he was on in 2010 made him stronger and also improves his eye sight as you say, why did he strike out so much in 2010?  With that improveed eye sight you&#039;d think he&#039;d K less not more]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mandatory testing was put into place in 2004...it was coming into that year that you had a few guys like Pudge Rodriguez suddenly show up to camp a whole lot thinner (he also was named by Jose Canseco). I don&#039;t think a report itself coming out really changes anything...since testing was already in place...but even if it did, that was in 2007 and Wright went on to have a great 2008.

There has been testing in place in the majors since Wright has been a MLBer and even stricter testing in  the minors.  Certainly its possible Wright, like any player could be doing stuff to skirt the tests, but I think making accusations is unfair...and the timelines you are applying are false.  And really there wouldnt be much of a reason for players to stop these past couple yrs if they&#039;ve been getting away with it all this time...until maybe next yr when they allegedly may start testing for HGH]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Um, all you did was reiterate my point. 

&quot; There is no proof Reyes has taken HGH or any sort of banned substance.&quot;

How exactly did you misunderstand that?

&quot;YOUR4NEGATIVE INNUENDOS Re BOTH REYES &amp; WRIGHT ARE BEST KEPT TO YOURSELF, YOU LIEING, CHEATING BASTARD.&quot;

I haven&#039;t accused anyone of anything. I&#039;ve been doing the exact opposite, pointing out the lack of any actual proof. There are several other people who have been accusing players of using banned substances. Go curse at them.

&quot;OFFENDED?&quot;

Nope. You&#039;re a stranger on the internet. 

&quot; I THOUGHT U’D APPRECIATE THE SHOE BEING ON YOUR FOOT.&quot;

what are you babbling about? Are you still mad because you misunderstood something I said regarding your typing? I wasn&#039;t making fun of you. I knew you had a physical impairment and the typing was a product of that. I just got the impairment wrong. Sorry if I&#039;m unfamiliar with your life story.

I have not said one negative about the formatting of your posts. I try to keep my discussions to content. 

Although, I love how you feel the need to attack me and falsely accuse me of doing the very things others you have sided with do on a regular basis.]]></description>

MUCH AS LOOKING @ THE 2 SIDES IN THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIG HORN IS LOGISTICAL NOT ETHICAL.

AS THE ISSUE IS A 2011 ISSUE IT&#039;S A MET NOT A MARLIN ISSUE IN MY ESTIMATION. HE WILL ALWAYS BE THE VERY FIRST NY MET TO WIN A BATTING TITLE. WHERE HE PLAYS IN &#039;12 IS THE ETHICAL QUESTRION FOR ALDERSON &amp; WILPONS.

		<description><![CDATA[Mets62Fan -- Ethics are what you do even when no one is looking.  Reyes failed the test even though lots of folks were looking.  I have an honest difference of opinion than you.  The fact that it was a great achievement undoubtedly influenced him.  Maybe for a lesser award he wouldn&#039;t have done it. I&#039;ll say he was brash about it.  Anyway he&#039;s playing for the Marlins now and is mostly off my radar screen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I’ll never forget a very trusted source on this website once hearing that Wright got off of HGH because of the testing WBC did.&quot;

Could you perhaps link to this claim? No, you won&#039;t.

&quot; Of course the source here was hoping that what he heard wasn’t true but coincidentally the way Wright has performed since then clearly (no pun intended) has been in decline&quot;

Unlike you who would splooge himself if news like that came out.

&quot;hen i believe it was the following season in 2010 he came into ST all bulked up like never before almost as if he was trying to compensate for something.&quot;

Did you measure his shirts or something? Is HGH the only way athletes put on mass?

&quot; And doesn’t HGH improve your eye sight?&quot;

Nope. that was a myth born of the snake oil salesmen peddling it as youth restoration medicine.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes SRT they have quite an extensive list of BANNED products!

Shouldn&#039;t that instead be a list of APPROVED products?
How current is the list of BANNED products? Is it updated every day? Week? Month?
By making a list of BANNED there could be 20 new products introduced this week that are not on the banned list and have not been tested by the MLB.

If they instead had a list of THESE PRODUCTS ARE APPROVED then there could be no mistakes!

If a player buys an unapproved product then he is wrong. If he buys an approved one and tests positive then it really isn&#039;t his fault and he has good reason if the product has been found to have been changed in some way from the formula that was approved by the MLB!

Tell them what they CAN use and if they use something different then they have no excuses!
If you merely tell them what NOT to use there could be plenty of products that would be banned if the MLB had looked at them out on those shelves and since they aren&#039;t on the do not use list it is hard to blame a player for trying to comply with MLBs ass backward system!]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes SRT they have quite an extensive list of BANNED products!</p>
<p>Shouldn&#8217;t that instead be a list of APPROVED products?<br />
How current is the list of BANNED products? Is it updated every day? Week? Month?<br />

		<description><![CDATA[&#039;&#039;If they continue to let players use whatever supplements they want off the shelf then these kinds of things will keep happening&#039;

This isn&#039;t exactly right.  According to what I read, MLB has quite an extensive list of banned substances.  And if using an over the counter anything, if in doubt you&#039;re supposed to be checking with MLB.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nice to see someone who has carefully looked a the facts about David&#039;s decline. The beaning was a major problem and when you combine that with the ridiculous dimensions and wall configuration at Citi Field, it is a no brainer. I, for one always liked David Wright but a lot was put on his shoulders. Unless, the Mets can get him some help....it might not be a bad idea to see just what he would bring back in a trade. A season goes by quickly and if  2012.goes poorly for this team, then David might look to do as Jose did....]]></description>
