Obviously baseball players are stupid...

According to court documents, authorities tracked a package containing two "kits" of HGH -- about a season's worth -- that was delivered at Grimsley's house on April 19.....

Acting on those documents, MLB suspended him for his alleged possession, admitted use and intended use of HGH. Baseball toughened its drug program and penalties this season, but there is no test for HGH.

"He's retired. It's a moot point," Detroit Tigers closer Todd Jones said. "He didn't test positive, but because he said he did, they're going to suspend him?

Well what the hell was he going to do with hgh?

And of course the players union is going to come to his defense....

"The suspension will become effective only if Jason chooses to continue his playing career," said Michael Weiner, general counsel to the players union. "The association will confer with Jason as to whether, under the circumstances, he wishes to grieve the suspension."

Actually...

About 15 years ago, some guy in our town got on his buddies motorcycle after tipping more than just a few cocktails. He was drunk. He needed to go to the 7-11 for a pack of smokes.

On the way, hit hit a median and became a quadriplegic for life. The cop at the scene figured he was a dead man, so out of compasion, gave no ticket. The guy won his law suit against the village, they said because no ticket was issued. $8 million bucks. Every homeowner, including yours truly, has to cover the bill. There wasn't a little sign on the median, identifying it as a median.

I know it's a different situation, but MLB has to cover their azz.
