Is this a "He's now off the juice" thread?

The steroids certainly didn't help him much last year.

That's because of the wind......and because of Jay Cutler.

I was assuming that was just a bad picture.

I am also waiting for CQ's demeanor to be much better as welll due to......?

I know this will shock you bigfan, but I think that most White Sox fans wouldn't be shocked if CQ has used PED's at some point.

He's our Zambrano.

They haven't legalized or de-criminalized that yet, have they?

Even worse at Bears training camp. People are nuts about getting autographs there as I'm sure you know. I still like to get an occasional autograph to go in my Brush with Fame type memorabilia section of my second bedroom, but not is some ridiculous frenzy type situation to acquire it.

Nooooo! kenny said that would never happen!

And why would you think a guy who was about to get cut, came in and almost had an MVP year? Constantly gets hurt with nagging injuries and is about as close to vusting out in roid rage, is a guy someone might suspect as a PED user????

I saw Quentin on TV last night. He not only looked smaller, he looked soft. Even his face was different. But I don't think this stuff is a surprise. The Cubs have a guy batting third and juiced out of his mind and he's pretty much telling everybody, "Catch me if you can."

I would take Marlon Byrd as the exception to all cases. Not trying to say he is or isn't using PED's or just PED's they don't know about yet. Might even say Byrd is the cleanest guy in MLB?

He is like the guy driving recklessly down the street, with the empty beer cans falling out of his car and they keep stopping him for DUI and he keeps passing.

Even Bernie on HBO sports said he felt Conte was clean now, but that doesn't mean he is.

I knew Frank could not hold it in.

When CQ had his great year out of nowhere it was all 'yeah Kenny' but Now The PEd Poster Boy is being admitted to by Sox fans? but but but but....Look the Cubs have a guy using PED's too!

Once again, this is not about the Cubs. But being that BRickSox brought it up.

I am pretty sure CQ never claimed he was clean, never asked to be tested and never said specifically what he was taking and even sent in to MLB what he was taking for testing?

100% sure no MLB player is using Conte as a supplier and telling everyone about it?

I would not be surprised if Byrd gets caught one day, but could there be a guy in MLB that gets tested more?

Can I now take CQ off the "Kenny Find" list?

Then why, as a Cub fan, start a thread about the White Sox.

CQ had an injury riddled minor league career, had a breakout year when he was able to stay healthy for 6 months (spring training, 5 months of the season), then got hurt again. Since then, he's had nagging injuries. So, certainly he was on the juice in 2008!

Marlon Byrd was signed after a career high in HRs. He must have been on the juice!

Can't we all agree that all the players mentioned were on steroids during some point in their career? What's next, are you going to defend Frank Thomas?

I would not defend any player and I never have. I can still have an opinion on guys like Byrd, who is a unique case at this point. Nobody has the microscope on them like this guy and he has not denied anything. Yet, still they find nothing.

As an opinion, I don't think Prior ever used anything and it is not because he is a good guy, but because he was such a pussy and would be scared to do that stuff as he would never go under the knife while he as here.

I also don't think Big Frank used anything as he could still hit 20 HR's when he was 40+. His bat speed. flexibility, batting average etc left him but he still had power at the end of his career. I would bet he could hit out HR's during BP at an alarming rate even today.

Soto, there is a user. he is a guy who got a stroke down, learned to hit well, but needed power. BAM! Power in a bottle. Matt Murton, chose not to take the juice with doubles power= HR champ in Japan!

The same reason a Sox fan starts a thread about the Cubs having a swoon in June.

Come on, big fan, I think it is about the Sox for you. But I really don't think it should be about any particular team. They all have guys who use(d) illegal stuff. The Cubs certainly have more than just Marlon Byrd. You want to look at "before/after"? Let's check out Aramis, Soto, and Big Z. I have no problem looking at Konerko.

Yes. It's only slightly less interesting than concussion talk.

This is about Kenny. Who made it very clear No Sox players have ever used or will ever use roids! Then he got back on the treadmill.

I know you monitor every player, but when a guy has the checklist of signs and passes the eye test of roids, like CQ did, don't try and tell me how you found a guy and because of your skills to judge talent, that is why he contributed.

He was 24 yrs old and a former first round pick. Here's a scouting report from 2006. Two years before his 'steroid season'. I know you're just talking out of your ass but even your ass isn't this stupid.
