Chris Davis tested positive for amphetamines. (25 Game Ban)

[Palmoripken]

Last year, didn't Chris say something about how he would never use that kind of stuff? Never say never I guess...

Shades of Palmeiro waging his finger. Granted he wasn't before a Congressional committee but still.

Can't wait until his excuse.

In all fairness, he could have a valid excuse. There are prescribed medications that could trigger a positive test if the test is given at the right time. Think with what happened to Gamboa in the minors this year.

Now, that is a could and we have to see what happens, but it matters little right now.

We'll be fine. I wonder how this will affect his future with the club.

[Finisher]

Ephedrine? Cold medicine?

Just thinking which excuse he'll use.

Adderall seems to be the excuse du jour on this one.

[Rene88]

My concerns are:

1. Clubhouse Mojo

2. 3B defense

3. Flaherty/Johnson replacing him in the lineup

In that order.

3b defense...we are done. DONE

The people that are most critical about the use of others turn out to be usually the ones doing it. Time and time again this holds true.

Maybe he was at the Kentucky Derby with Wes:)

In my sixth grade Tech Ed class, one kid would always pass gas then ask angrily, "MAN!!! who farted????" and start blaming everyone else. I'm pretty sure that after a few times we all knew it was him even though he tried to pass blame on everyone else.

Yes.

I specifically remember the interview before the game where he was ADAMANT about his stance on this sort of thing. That's what makes me even more ticked off about this. I get all the "well what was he supposed to say"... but having a hard time accepting that line.

what a disappointment/joke this guy is. I wouldn't even want to see him in the lineup after this whole thing if he even was able to somehow play in the postseason (which he's not).

[AlbionHero]

Sucks for Davis, but maybe its a blessing in disguise for us not to run out a replacement level player out t here every day.

[SilentJames]

I thought first offense for a PED was 50 games.

Amphetamines aren't steroids.

Johnson at 3B and we will be fine? You must be high.

It matters Zero to me. Whatever triggered it he should have been smart enough to not take it, period.

He just lost a lot of fans. Portrays himself as a religious man. Baseball fans care, football fans don't.

Flaherty can catch the ball. Now if Hardy's back spasms come back...

[BohKnowsBmore]

I believe with the new rule that was implemented with the Biogenesis players, he would not be allowed to return in the postseason.

I could be wrong though, since I'm not sure if amphetamines qualify as PEDs in baseball (I know they do in football).

I think amphetamines are their own policy.

Omg... Espn talking about how this helps the Yankees. That's their angle here.

I'm not a math genius but that adds up to 26 games, not 25. Just saying.
