Suspected steroid use
Now it looks like Miguel Tejada is providing B12 shots to teammates, but look what happens to Palmeiro with one of those shots that he buys legally in his hometown. I am personally suspicious of him bucause a guy 5'9" is not suposse to be hitting those long balls that frequently. Any other players you suspect?

Palmeiro....
Also with your flawed logic anyone under 5'9" who hits a few homers is a steroid user? Kind of a stupid assumption. If you would look at Tejadas stats his season high is only 34. If he was hitting 40-60 per season then I would think something was fishy.
Tejada is a great player, I doubt he uses roids.

Small guys can be built
The most common example of this is NFL running backs. Many of them are 5'10 to 6' and go between 200 and 225. Using the top two RBs as examples - LT is 5'10 at 221; S Alexander is 5'11 225.

A little history
Don Mattingly and Bobby Murcer had the right field porch at Yankee Stadium to aim at, but Mattingly in particular seemed to have little problem putting it out of any park. Both weren't big guys...probably smaller than their stats reported.
Wade Boggs was a big guy who didn't hit for power...even in Yankee Stadium.
Henry Aaron wasn't huge, but had great wrists.

We're on to "height" now?
Rafael Furcal MUST be on steroids because his arm is too good for a short guy; Scott Kazmir MUST be on steroids because he throws too hard for a short guy. Are you kidding with this post or are you really serious?

aside from the mets chasing
from what i understand the stadium is proceeding on target for 2009. the official word on funding, i.e. how much would city/state throw in and what type of perks, have yet to be announced. i'm thinking that any sort of public financing will not be forthcoming. so, probably looking at a site in queens next to shea, the current parking lot most likely. and some type of concessions from the city regarding taxes and maybe a pledge to spruce up the 'hood a bit. and the mets will be footing the bill for the actual stadium. which honestly is how i think it should be. i don't think teams should get public funding for stadiums. all the studies seem to show that the financial impact on the neighborhoods and cities is negligible and not at all in line with what the teams promise the city the benefits will be.

Ryan?
I agree that they shouldn't hand out big contracts to Hernandez or Molina. I'm personally in the Jojima camp, myself. I doubt he will be that much less than the other two.
Piazza, for as much as I love him, cannot come back to the Mets in a part time roll. It's better off he leaves while he is still, somewhat, good. It will just be a very frustrating situation for all involved should he come back (see Posada, Jorge).

Funny
How long have teams been saying that? at least there's one thing you can count in your favorite. No more Mazzone. That might be the biggest edge possible.

I wouldn't get too worked up over this string
So...the Mets are going to trade for Albert Pujols. What other players are they going to get? (jk)

My friends that have told me these things didn't do it to make a big deal of it, or to make a buck or a name for themselves. In fact, I was told while hanging out, camping, fishing, hunting, etc when it was just the two of us.
If you would like for me to look up the complete list of anabolic steroids for you, I will. The steroids I have heard used most were forms of Deca, Winstrol, and Sostanon. Obviously as someone that knows nothing of this, these names are meaningless to you.

I mean, how can you hit so many home runs and not even stand six feet tall?
