Another reason why unions rule, and when I say "rule", I mean are the biggest waste of time and resources: when Major League Baseball conducted their survey testing in 2003, the deal was there would be no further testing if under 5% of players tested positive. Now, in addition to players being morons and not getting off the gas to pass the test and leaving them free to do as they pleased for the foreseeable future, the union fought tests as false positives which lead to the names being attached and more people becoming aware of it, which is a big part of why we're seeing names trickle out today...who would have guessed that it was the Washington Nationals that would come in and take the steam out of the offensive gas can that is Yankee Stadium? The Yankees lost two of three to the "Natinals"...Toronto FC downed the Montreal Impact last night by a score of 6-1, including three from Dwayne De Rosario, which was enough to see them win the Canadian Championship, and they'll be this year's entrant into the CONCACAF Champions League where they'll host the Puerto Rico Islanders on July 28th.

I'm sure Red Sox "Nation" is thrilled with that comment. I'm also sure the way his fastball has lost velocity and for how many guys he puts on, Sox GM Theo Epstein is starting to think that would be a good move for the Sox if he went to the Yanks...two dozen NHLers were duped out of $25 million in a bogus golf development.
