I don't fully understand how someone who has avoided suspicion so thoroughly through all this would bother doing it now, at this point in his career.

I mean, as easy a HOFer as exists in baseball today. Nothing left to prove. W........hy, dude. Why.

Your mistake is assuming that he'd just start right now. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:11 17
- right. -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 09:13
- Almost doesn't matter. If he made it without getting fingered, good on you. Time to stop. -- nm - TFox May 7, 09:12 15
  - He bulked up back in cleveland, he's made *huge* paydays without being caught. - musubi May 7, 09:15 5
    - It is harder to not get caught now. Much harder. No clue why anyone whose legacy is nearly complete would continue. - TFox May 7, 09:16 4
      - Does this *really* change anything about Manny's legacy? - musubi May 7, 09:22 2
        
        If Palemeiro's out of the Hall of Fame with 3000 hits, Manny's done for with this as well. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:23
        
        Not already tarnished. Or, not tarnished to the degree of "cheater". Just "crazy". -- nm - TFox May 7, 09:23
      - Has Manny *EVER* impressed you with his intellect? -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 09:18
  - Well, then he could never actually get that massive payday he boned Boston for. -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 09:13 8
    - What I am saying is, maybe he ate enough roids to kill New Jersey for the last decade. Doesn't matter; we didn't know. - TFox May 7, 09:14 7
      - That's not what you said about four posts up. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:17 [Backboard] 2
        
        It's exactly what I said. He avoided suspicion, whether he was using or not, and then bothered to do it now. - TFox May 7, 09:18 1
        
        (I'm going to lunch, so if musubi continues being confused, someone help him. I'm hungry.) -- nm - TFox May 7, 09:19
      - You're assuming these guys are only in it for the 'one score'. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:16 3
        
        The difference being, what if before the town only had one drunk cop, and now they have 30 sober ones? - TFox May 7, 09:17 2
        
        A more appropriate example would a town with 0 cops getting 2. Getting caught is much more likely, but still not *very* likely. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:24
        
        Do what ARod did, find a new drug. -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 09:18
