Carlos Ruiz, suspended 25 games for amphetamine use, per Rubin twitter. [crossout]Couldn't happen to a nicer guy[/crossout] too bad they didn't get Utley too.

Phucking Philthy Cheaters!

As Stark points out: What Carlos Ruiz left out: If he got suspended, it means it's 2nd time he tested positive for amphetamines." 1st test triggers more testing He's a serial Phucking Philthy Cheater!

Philly must be stripped of its titles! Barred from bowl games!

Tear down his statue!

Need amphetamines to stay awake listening to idiot Phillies fans yelling "CHOOCH!" at him, perhaps.

There seems to be quite abit of Adderall floating around professional sports of late.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Nov 27 2012 07:23 PM Re: Douchebag Phillies Thread

So... "Chooch" is the nickname for, like, some trucker-grade stuff then, right?

Fman99 Nov 27 2012 07:50 PM Re: Douchebag Phillies Thread

I thought "Chooch" were the little nuggets of shit that stick to your asshole hair. Like, "Ouch, tried to wipe and pulled on a real Chooch there."

Isn't "Douchebag Phillies" redundant? Later

A sort of all-purpose primer on Adderall from a doc and writer for BP prompted by the Ruiz suspension -- http://www.baseballprospectus.com/artic ... leid=19013 I believe Adderall was also the drug involved with the two Seattle Seahawk players who were suspended (pending appeal) this past week.

They got hit from a wave? that's awesome! (I mean, horrible, poor Ryan, awww...)

Looks like one dress that ain't gonna be a hand-me-down.

Nahhh. A little club soda will take those stains right out. Anyhow, what time (Eastern) is the Rule V Draft today? Later

Phillies trade Jo Anne Worley to the Twinkies for Paul Revere, or something like that.

Frayed Knot Dec 06 2012 10:54 AM Re: Douchebag Phillies Thread

Well, looks like the Phils got their CFer Revere (Ben, no known relation to Paul) was the guy assumed to be replacing the recently traded Denard (Spic and) Span but it looks like Minnesota decided this week that they don't want young, speedy outfielders anymore. Pitcher Trevor May also going to the Twins in the deal. May, a 4th round pick in 2008, was considered a pretty good prospect coming off his 2011 season in the Fla St Lg but stumbled this past year at AA

Frayed Knot Dec 06 2012 11:20 AM Re: Douchebag Phillies Thread

Phillies also reportedly in talks w/Texas to acquire Michael Young - I guess they figured their infield isn't yet old enough. I presume Young will play 3rd if this goes through, or maybe 2nd if they decide (as was hinted at several times last year) to move Utley to the corner spot.

Somebody (Stark?) said that Utley to 3rd is dead - he can't make the throws.

Decent haul for a (young) outfielder with one offensive tool.

Frayed Knot Dec 11 2012 07:12 AM Re: Douchebag Phillies Thread

Baseball Prospectus, citing a Philly Inquirer report, sez the Phils are likely to chase one of the remaining OF FAs even despite their recent acquisition of Ben Revere. Cody Ross, Josh Hamilton & Nick Swisher remain available and advanced statistical metrics suggests any or all of those candidates could be expected to hit at least 87 HRs if he played an entire season at the home ballpark of the Phightin' Phils.

Edgy MD Dec 11 2012 07:45 AM Re: Douchebag Phillies Thread

I don't know if any ballpark can be friendlier to Nick Swisher than YSIII. The Orioles are pursuing him also, so he's just a blessed hitter when it comes to finding friendly parks. But seriously, based on his propensity to slump away every post-season with the Yankees, baseball fans everywhere should celebrate Nick Swisher Day. I hope he signs with the Orioles and brutalizes the heck out of the Yankees and adds a post-season for the ages on top. (Unless he's playing the Mets.)

Ashie62 Dec 11 2012 09:06 AM Re: Douchebag Phillies Thread

They will like Michael Young and got him for barely more than his salary. Guess we know why Olt and Andrus were "untouchable" Young must love Philly lol..He said something to the effect Im only playing here one year!!! Smart Texan
