    BREAKING: Melky Cabrera suspended 50 games, will miss rest of regular season

    Just heard about this

    Cards have a better shot at that last playoff spot now.

    Dodgers catch a break


    http://blogs.mercurynews.com/giants/


    Major League Baseball announced Wednesday that Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera has been suspended 50 games without pay after testing positive for Testosterone, a performance-enhancing substance.

    Cabrera has had an MVP-caliber season, hitting .346 with 11 homers and 60 RBIs. He was named the MVP of the All-Star Game and has started 110 of the Giants’ 117 games. Cabrera’s career took a downturn in 2010, when he hit just .255 with four homers. He bounced back in 2011 with 201 hits and 18 homers.

    Approached by CSN Bay Area shortly after the All-Star break, Cabrera forcefully denied rumors that he had failed a test. The Giants team leaders denied the rumors as well.

    Cabrera was listed as the left fielder this morning, but manager Bruce Bochy called the media into his office about a half-hour earlier than normal. There was no mention of Cabrera’s impending suspension. The clubhouse was soon closed.

    Cabrera is the second Giant to fail a test this season. Relief pitcher Guillermo Mota was suspended for 100 games earlier this season but is expected back in September.

    Cabrera won’t be back anytime soon. The suspension is for 50 games and the Giants have just 45 games left in the regular season. The suspension is effective immediately.

    But didn't you know that steroids don't help baseball performance? At least that is what a bunch of idiots who have no idea what the fuck they are talking about claim.

    Cabrera was on the verge of bust status, all of the sudden goes on a tear and what do you know we find out why.

    I was wondering how Melky became so damn good this year.

    I would actually feel sorry for the Giants a little if he had gotten injured (though not that much, since the Dodgers had to do without Kemp for so long), but this is his fault.

    He should toss over whatever extra T he's got left to Lincecum, who really could use it.

    Oh the irony of that picture. It was taken this year at the ASG in Kansas City. The same Kansas City where Melky seemingly turned around his career last year.
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    Wow, turns out Melky was a lot more devious than first imagined.

    He paid for a fake website selling a nonexistent product, which he was going to claim he took and didn't realize it was secretly spiked with testosterone. This website was pretty much his "out" if he ever got caught.

    http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/82...se-report-says

    Also, remember the Melk Men in the Giants stands? They were apparently paid actors (by Cabrera), sitting in Giants-owned seats.





    So Melky even paid for fake superfans.

    I have to admit that, while I never suspected Cabrera of using roids, I did find the whole Melk Men thing to be fishy.

    That's because of the "Melk Maids" who often accompanied them:



    It was believable that a group of dudes might be such rabid Giants fans that they would pay for custom milkman uniforms to honor Cabrera.

    But a group of hot chicks to go with them, who seemed just as into the whole thing as the dudes?

    Not as likely.

    I remembering seeing them and wondering to myself if they were on the Giants' payroll.

    Turns out I was wrong. They were on Cabrera's.

    I always thought the Melkmen were huge faggots, and couldnt figure out how they were at every single home game. Although in this city it seems like nobody works anyways. Cabrera took a huge shit on the tail end of our season.
