Big Papi tained like the rest

[JT Rock]

please.. better than half of the team.

really going to go there.. Who is the half of team?

Sheffield, Petite, Clemens Giambi? Big deal Red Sox have a tainted championship and your cities 2 biggest heroes were fake

Mitchell is/was director of the Red Sox and you think he was going to implicate Ortiz and Manny? of course not!

all of what you mentioned, plus canseco, knoblauch, glenallen hill, jason grimsley..

that's 8 players that were known steroid or HGH users.. so yeah, really going to go there ..

i'm not defending papi or ramirez, they still cheated, but for a yankees fan to say in any way that the Sox's world series championships were tainted then i have to at least have a chuckle.

Those guys arent impact players.. Knoblauch tanked it in NY and didnt do much as well as Canseco and Hill were platoon players.

The problem I have with the Red Sox and the majority of their fans, they try so hard not to be the yankees and act all high and mighty but in reality they are no better. I mean when The mitchell report came out it was all about the Yankee players who were juiced and the Sox fans were like, not our guys. though you can see Ramirez like Bonds and Sosa was substantially beefier than he was years ago and you could see Papi though always stout was alot smaller the past 2 years and breaking down more then during his juiced run with the sox. The guy cant hit worth a lick, the powers gone and he is striking out more and is way overmatched. You know who else will be on that list soon is Garciaparra. He all of a sudden was the wlalking Disabled list one day and is still in his early 30's and has been terribly overmatched for the past 5 years now.

You just dont stop being dynamic one day especially in your late 20's unless you were helped along the way.
