Imagine that you’re Baltimore Orioles outfielder Jay Gibbons and you’re checking things off on your daily checklist.
Imagine that you’re Baltimore Orioles outfielder Jay Gibbons and you’re checking things off on your daily checklist.
Get gas for expensive truck. Check.
Put up a 1-for-4 performance at the plate in upcoming game. Check.
Check mail for steroids. Check.
Gibbons was one of three Major Leaguer Baseball players cited by SI.com as receiving performance-enhancing drugs over the Internet through Orlando, Fla.-based Signature Pharmacy, and it has to beg the question, judging by Gibbons’ career numbers: Does this stuff even work?
Gibbons, a career .260 hitter, obviously has other problems to fix than making his muscles bigger. Last time we checked, having bigger muscles doesn’t help you make contact, Jay.
Although there is no evidence that Gibbons actually used the shipments that he received, I doubt they just sat around.
In other news, OJ Simpson was arrested Sunday in relation to an armed robbery that involved sports memorabilia in a room at a Las Vegas casino. Regardless of his innocence or guilt, we brainstormed some alibis for him to use in case his current one doesn’t hold up.
1) He thought he had seen the real killer go into the room.
2) He was looking for the $1.99 buffet.
3) He was given wrong directions to his latest book signing. It was in the lobby!
