Raffy back to action, no doubt to response even at Camden


Well folks, he's decided to brave the boos and heckles by coming back to play. We hope someone comes up with something better than "Steroids"...

Know where you can stick that finger?

You know the Orioles front office isn't happy about his return. We think a recent exchange between the front office and Raffy went something like this: "You're cancelling the upcoming 3,000 hit celebration, right Raffy?" Supposedly he cancelled it. Sure...

Even his teammates think it's going to be ugly: "I wouldn't wish that on anybody". Ouch...

Biggest problem we have is with MLB's length of the first offense. Not sure how long roids stay in the system, but it's probably fair to say a guy is still on the juice after 10 days. Thats an unfair advantage even after they return. Apparently they didn't think that one through...

You know the O's will put him on waivers. The real question is if you are a contender, would you grab this guy off waivers - only if you seriously think he'll put you over the top? What a dilemma. Possibly win a World Series or inherit a PR nightmare. You would hope anyone that grabs him would suffer bad karma and go down in flames. Would serve them right...

Either way, he will be getting what he deserves...
