Steroids in the B-12 and B-12 on dirty hands

Rafael Palmeiro has been thrown for a loop. It's all so very confusing for the would be Hall of Famer.

"I wish I could pinpoint exactly what happened," Palmeiro told the newspaper in his first public comments since last season ended. "I would think it was the B-12. I'm not certain of that; I can't prove it."

Are we at the point where we feel bad for Palmeiro because he's so pathetic? Does this sort of thing haunt him? Does he regret doing the Viagra ads? Why hasn't he blamed the Viagra?

Also, here's a little known fact about vitamin B-12. It doesn't occur naturally in fruits or vegetables which makes it tough for vegans to get their needed amounts. Some vegans can get their B-12 by not washing their hands properly before they eat. But that's just disgusting.

Vitamin D

Is supposed to reduce your risk of cancer by 50% according to a new study (40 years of research). Says people normally get enough of the vitamin through natural sunlight, but as people are wearing sunblock more often or covering up to protect from skin cancer, they're not getting their vitamin D.

All of this from a San Diego State Univ professor. Supposed to take 1,000 IU each day (2x the normal recommended amount).

Oh, and no....I do not feel sorry for Palmeiro. Screw him. he's saying he 'takes responsibility for being naive'....what a cop out.

WHO DOES HE THINK HE'S FOOLING?

THIS IS ONE OF THE STUPIDEST THINGS I"VE EVER HEARD!!!! I already think of Raffy as a stupid git who lies so much he can't stop, but this! How much dumber and lower can he get!!!!!!! Blaming a teamate for what he did? Raffy!!!!!! Come on! You should have known better! Now you look like more of a fraud than many thought you were when we found you were taking steroids! If I were you Raffy, I'd shut the hell up and try to bide your time until you are under major pressure to go this route of evil. For god's sake, were any of us even thinking in our minds when we looked on ESPN at baseball, "Wow, I bet Raffy took steroids?" He basically put himself back in the witness box. You just went another step lower on the stairway of life, and I'd try to start climbing back up Raffy before we all hate you.

What I mean to say is...

What I mean to say is that we were all thinking about how we just traded away Eaton, not thinking about whether or not Raffy intentionally took steroids. Sorry if that was confusing, but when I heard this news, I sorta blew my top.
