Adderall is a banned substance by MLB...unless of course you get a therapeutic use exception for it. So yes, being banned 50 games for something that over 100 MLB players are allowed to take seems a bit ridiculous.

Of course, this is assuming it was Adderall that Forrest took.

Who the f just takes a unknown pill some friend gives them to help stay awake? Normal people don't do that much less a premiere athlete.

Sounds like an episode of Full House or something.

I'm sure he knew what he was taking, but it sounds much better for him if he "unknowingly" took something

do you guys actually wear baseball jerseys that yall buy or just have them framed and hung on the wall? I feel like only children should be wearing the jerseys, especially if you're ten years older than the guy who name is on the back
I only wear them if i am also wearing cargo shorts/pants and Crocks or some sort of open-toe shoes.

Do you live in Houston? Astros jersey, shorts, and flip flops is my go to in mid July for a baseball game.

Save your pompous jeans and tennis shoes for the Toyota Center


I do. You sound like a prepared fan. Can't do Toyota. Red makes me look fat, and basketball jerseys are hipster apparel.

If that's true he's an idiot for taking a random pill. He knows the cost

Considering our basketball team doesn't think smoking weed in front of government buildings is a bad idea, I don't have high hopes when it comes to athletes and common sense right now

I'm sure he didn't take a "random pill".

I'm about 99% he took an adderall. The same pill thousands of college kids take every day to help them stay awake and get ready for tests.....not that I condone that. But there are a ton of kids and parents who do.

I know this isn't a prediction thread... but I honestly see the NLCS/ALCS matchups this season as the exact same as last season.

Dodgers vs Cubs
Yankees vs Astros

Cubs vs Astros in the World Series

Then he'd be even stupider for taking something he knows is banned.

MLB just needs to remove Adderall from the banned list. If it's truly a performance enhancer, then how can they justify handing out over 100 exemptions for it? Aren't they giving those players an unfair advantage?

Stimulants have long been a part of baseball. There's likely not many guys in the HOF that didn't use amphetamines. No one has ever had a problem voting for those guys, so who cares?

Hey everyone! Hope you all are having a great offseason. Just wanted to swing by and let y'all know that my coupon code for discount tickets for Rangers games will be active again, just in case any of y'all wander up to Arlington this season, which I suspect a lot of you will for opening weekend.

The code this year is texags18.

As always, if you have any questions about anything ticket related, feel free to shoot me a PM or you can email me directly at jchance at texasrangers .com

Really just depends on the game and where you sit. Discount can get up to around 30%

SIAP:
"Ryan said the Astros will relocate the division title and Wild Card banners that are currently below the lights in left field to another part of the park, keeping only the 2005 National League championship pennant and '17 World Series championship banner in that spot."

I'm interested to see where in the park the banners are being moved to.

They've moved them before.

Just realized the end of March is going to be fantastic. March Madness Final Four, Rockets doing their thing, Easter Weekend, Houston Open, and Astros Baseball.
