I hope he has good second half. He's really crushing the ball right now. - Krusty Jul 1, 07:11 8
- But his numbers have to make you question whether he's doing it clean or not. - Krusty Jul 1, 07:14 7
  - why? cause he had a few bad years prior - tRuMaN Jul 1, 07:15 6
    - One reason is because he's putting up numbers we've only seen from guys that juiced. - Krusty Jul 1, 07:24 5
      - The other reason it is hard to dismiss is that it is the same trajectory as Ortiz. -- nm - David Jul 1, 07:26 4
        
        I want him to be clean but I can't help but doubt he is. - Krusty Jul 1, 07:28 3
        
        I'm in the same boat. I have no reason to believe he's cheating. The other guys are the ones who have ruined my thinking. -- nm - David Jul 1, 07:37
