Message: [QUOTE="SUFaninNJ, post: 1895327, member: 2376"] I think Andy also seemed to get a pass because he addressed the issue and "seemed" to be apologetic. He didn't deny it. He didn't blame it on someone else. He also is, as was pointed out, a likeable God fearing person. That plays on some people. If you liked Andy before news broke, and take what he said at face value, there's a decent chance of you still liking him. Do I think Papi used? Yes. He was one of 8 Red Sox players (including Manny) listed on that 2003 list. He's friendly, and pudgy and people seem to like him, so when he denies he used, many people accept it. Do I think he's using this year? I have no idea. Players are still going to use PEDs, even though there's still the threat of suspension. Just ask Dee Gordon. [/QUOTE]
