And speaking of the Yankee catchers…
Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun’s name is in records of the Miami-area clinic alleged to have distributed performance-enhancing drugs to a rash of baseball players, and Major League Baseball will investigate the link to the former MVP who tested positive for illegal synthetic testosterone during the 2011 postseason.
Three of the Biogenesis clinic records obtained by Yahoo! Sports show Braun’s name. Unlike the players named by the Miami New Times in its report that blew open the Biogenesis case, Braun’s name is not listed next to any specific PEDs.
Also on the list are New York Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli and Baltimore Orioles third baseman Danny Valencia, who weren’t listed near PEDs either. The record matches a document the New Times posted with Braun’s name redacted and Cervelli and Valencia’s cut off.
If Cervelli did take performance-enhancing drugs, we hope he kept the receipts…because they didn’t work.

Let me be the first to predict that this scandal eventually catches Robinson Cano.
I remember seeing articles and YES footage in 2009 of three close pals on the Yankees. They roomed together on the road. They partied together off the field. They even trained together in the DR. These three amigos were Melky Cabrera, Francisco Cervelli, and, doncha know, Robbie Cano.
I hope I’m wrong. Does anyone else remember reading/watching stories about these close pals?

Why do you think the Yankees traded Melky? They thought he was a bad influence on him. Has Cano failed a test? Cano showed he could hit from the moment he was called up. Cervelli should ask for a refund.
David Ortiz February 5, 2013 21:32
I’ll investigate what happened here, too.
Ryan Braun February 5, 2013 21:32
My name isn’t listed next to any specific PEDs because I am taking all of them.
The Truth February 6, 2013 08:11
Dear ESPN, please devote as much time to Ryan Braun as you did Alex last week. Ryan actually failed a test and used the lamest fucking loophole known to man to escape the spotlight. After that you can ask “Big Juicy” when he plans to tell us what he originally got caught taking in 2003.
Francisco Cervelli February 5, 2013 21:33
Whatever. Who cares? I’m the starting catcher!
Francisco Cervilli February 6, 2013 13:54
And, for the record, I did not receive injections in my helmet. I received multiple injections in my ass. I hope this clears things up. Thank you.

To beat me, he will have to kill me.
Or at least suck on my balls, stick a couple of fingers in my ass, break out the double-ended dildo. . .

I know that Alex had something to do with framing
Ryan Braun.

No way the white guy was taking what the darker colored gentleman were taking. I heard they put the juice into bananas not latkes.

surprise!

Baseball is the greatest sport in the world. Where else can someone the size of Ryan Braun compete and become the idol of millions without the stain of PED’s. I mean look at that Ray Lewis, a charlatan if there ever was one. Men like Ryan Braun and David Eckstein make baseball America’s grand ol game. Now excuse me I have to go fist Bob Costas in the ass.

I knew all about Cervelli and Montero, which is why I traded Jesus for scrap and sat Cervelli last year. Of course, that means I already knew about Alex, the human stain on the Yankees, and did and said nothing.
I guess you could say I run the team as if it were my own life.

Cashman you pervert be quiet, we got some new
40 year old poon on our website we know that’s
All you care about. I mean if you’re gonna fuck
Chicks on the Yankees’ dime can they at least not
Look like dried up prunes?
Adam February 6, 2013 12:05
Scary to think what if roids really did work and the Cervelli we saw the last few years was even better than he really is.
Joe Páwlikowski February 7, 2013 15:43
Why not let Nunez catch? I got 89k words and a graph detailing it. Tune in for Joe Pawl.
Ted Nelson February 7, 2013 17:27
Only 89k? Amateur.
