    A's Shrektolo Colon hit with 50-game suspension

    RHP Bartolo Colon of Oakland Athletics suspended 50 games for violating MLB's drug policy - ESPN

    Oakland Athletics right-hander Bartolo Colon has been suspended 50 games after testing positive for testosterone, the commissioner's office announced Wednesday.

    "The Oakland Athletics are disappointed to learn of today's suspension of pitcher Bartolo Colon," the team said in a statement. "The organization fully supports Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program and its efforts to eliminate performance-enhancing substances from our game. Per the Basic Agreement, the A's will have no further comment."
    What a jerk.

    Testosterone? With his man boobs, I would have guessed estrogen. Or porkchops.

    Surprised Dirty Vagina didn't start this thread, wait nevermind I forgot that Colon is on the A's not the Giants, silly me.

    As for Colon, this is getting ridiculously hysterical, what is this? Balco 2

    Same substance as Cabrera too. And we now have Tyson Ross as his replacement. Disappointing, to say the least.


    For the record...Giants-2, A's-1.

    That's only for this start because they sent down Straily recently. They can't call him up yet I believe. Ross is just making one start from what I read.

    I just love how the media is acting like the A's are done. We just got Brett Anderson back. I'll take him and McCarthy over Bartolo. Straily will be recalled and Griffin is going on a rehab assignment. They'll be fine as far as starting pitching goes.

    Young right-hander Dan Straily will likely be the plug-in for the A's down the stretch, but he must be in the minors 10 days before getting brought back up (he was sent down to the minors on Monday).
    Yup you're right. Straily should be back by the next home stand (against Boston).

    Losing an "innings-eater" like Colon is never good. The A's staff is set up pretty well, but having him would have been a big help going down the stretch.
