Jose Alvarado (Phillies Closer) - PED Suspension

[Gwreck]

80 games and ineligible for the postseason, should they make it.

Alvarado ... Steroids ... Really?

I never woulda thunk it!

[Lefty Specialist]

Too bad, the Mets hit him pretty good.

You don't get a beard like that eating Cheerios.

My impression is that they generally have done well against the Phillies bullpen for a while now.

I wonder when Judge is going to be busted for something. I find in baseball if something is too good to be true for too long, there's usually shenanigans going on in the background. And Judge has been too good to be true for too long now.

Wow , what the hell was Jose thinking

[The Hot Corner]

Alvarado claims it was due to a weight loss medicine he was taking during the offseason.

[metirish]

Oh oh oh Jose

[The Hot Corner]

If he was taking a weight loss medicine, it didn't work.

btw, (not so) Happy 30th birthday to Jose today.



As Ronnie has said, your 29th birthday in baseball is the last one you celebrate.

And now Alvarado is 30 and he just tossed away a half-season that he won't get back.
