... oh wait, there wasn't any? http://www.ballparkwatch.com/images/metrod...odome_7_med.jpgIt was essentially running on concrete. For a hefty fella, it may take a toll on him.

Oh, wow, I didn't know the Metrodome looked like that. hahah Only fields I know at all are like Wrigley, Chase Field, and I'm going to Fenway hopefully at the end of June.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>If by people you mean Ortiz himself...It's not relevant if he truly unknowingly took steroids in a protein drink many years ago. The part that gets me is that it seems pretty unlikely that he would know that. I mean what, he drinks some protein drink, then (a) decade(s) later he just decides that he maybe took steroids and that he's going to bring it up to the media? It seems... strange to me. I would find other scenarios more likely, but the fact remains that Ortiz brought it up himself, not some other random guy</div>If you've seen the interview, Ortiz brought it up in an almost joking manner. People, other than Ortiz, have speculated that he could be on steroids. I was saying that this whole story is irrelevant to any sort of steroid speculation because he may have taken some random drink 10 years ago before he was even in the league. If he said oh, I took some random protein drink when I came to Boston, this would be a totally different story.

It does in the other paragraphs. I don't know, maybe if you could explain the funny part I would get it.I understand why you said it's irrelevant. I even said in my last post that I understood and explained why I understood. The part that you're not getting is that it goes beyond whether or not he took some protein drink 10 years ago or whenever. I am trying to figure out why he would bring it up and how he would even know. It doesn't seem strange to you at all? How could he only know that it's possible? He doesn't know for sure one way or another? So yes, as I explained in my last post which you obviously did not read, if he unknowingly took a protein drink with steroids in it years ago, that is not bad. But how the hell would he not know about it, then bring it up 10 years later? It does not make sense. Durr.

He's just merely saying, I took some random drink back in the day, it could have had steroids in it, how the hell would I have known? I just took it because someone told me it would help me. That kind of thing. I'm pretty sure Ortiz doesn't have an MD in pharmaceutical education.These athletes growing up in the Dominican aren't fortunate enough to have the education on what not to take and what to take.
