"I don't think it's the Cardinals responsibility necessarily to be the moral police on potentially future employment." - responding to criticism after signing Jhonny Peralta after a PED suspension

Ironic sign behind Jhonny Peralta last night

Maybe Jhonny Peralta really did take PEDS

 

But if so, I am sure they were placebos.

If Jhonny Peralta can levitate a bat....

....why can't he use these powers to hit better?

He appears to be wasting this precious gift.

He does however hold the record for home runs, hits, stolen bases (well just about everything) by a "Jhonny" but I think that is more a function of a birth certificate snafu than anything.

So the Mudhe....I mean Tigers just got this "Joehawnee" guy

Well ok but I don't know about clubhouse chemistry here or that he will fit in very well as he hasn't played in AAA for some time.

I don't know how they are going to handle a guy with "experience".

Actually I don't think the Tigers have had a player with a misspelled first name since Heinie Elder in 1913.

Unfortunately, they were 66-87 that year and good enough for 12th place.

I hate omens.
