MLB suspends 2 players for using banned substance Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Phillies reliever J.C. Romero and Yankees minor league pitcher Sergio Mitre were suspended for the first 50 games of next season after testing positive for a banned substance. The suspensions were announced Tuesday by Major League Baseball. Romero earned two wins in Philadelphia's World Series victory over Tampa Bay last season. He has called the penalty unfair, ESPN.com reported Monday night. He contends the supplement he took during the season was legal because he bought it over the counter at a nutrition store in the United States. An arbitrator decided against Romero in November. Mitre is with the New York Yankees' Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Triple A team. The arbitrator ruled Romero was guilty of negligence. The penalty will cost the left-hander $1.25 million in salary, ESPN.com said. "I still cannot see where I did something wrong," Romero told the Web site. "There is nothing that should take away from the rings of my teammates. I didn't cheat. I tried to follow the rules." The Philadelphia Inquirer also reported Romero's suspension on its Web site early Tuesday. "If I'm guilty of something, you know what? I will face it. But I'm not guilty, and I'm not letting people that don't really know me judge me over something and accuse me of something that I didn't do," Romero told the newspaper. "We strongly disagree with the commissioner's discipline and with the arbitrator's decision," MLB Players Association general counsel Michael Weiner said in a statement. Romero was the winning pitcher in Game 3 of the World Series and the clinching Game 5 for the champion Phillies. "We can't comment on the specific facts of the case," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said in a conference call Tuesday. "What we can tell you is that we're very supportive of what Major League Baseball has done and the policies it has implemented." Romero, a key member of Philadelphia's strong bullpen, served in a setup role for closer Brad Lidge for most of last season. He went 4-4 with a 2.75 ERA and 52 strikeouts in 59 innings. He appeared in 81 games and had one save. In the postseason, Romero was outstanding. He didn't allow a run and only two hits in eight appearances, spanning 7 1-3 innings. Romero is expected to report to spring training with the Phillies next month and is allowed to pitch in exhibition games. He'll likely stay in Florida for extended spring training and could be ready to rejoin the team once his suspension is up. "The fact of the matter is we're supportive of J.C.," Amaro said. "It's an unfortunate event. We'll deal with it, and we'll move forward from it." ESPN.com said the pitcher was tested Aug. 26 and Sept. 19, then informed by the players' union Sept. 23 of the result. Romero said he immediately stopped taking any supplements. He was tested again Oct. 1 and that test came back negative, according to ESPN.com. Weiner said the union regards the decision as final but insists the players were treated unfairly. "Their unknowing actions plainly are distinguishable from those of a person who intentionally used an illegal performance-enhancing substance," he said.

kogt Earl Thomas was the leading tackler for Texas in their 24-21 win over Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl Monday. Although it looked like he had as many as 15, officially he record nine tackles.

Upset alert could happen! Livingston is good.

Report: Pettitte rejects Yankees' offer Andy Pettitte may not be returning to the New York Yankees after all. The left-handed starter has rejected the Yankees' one-year, $10 million offer, The New York Times reported, citing a person with knowledge of the negotiations. The door does not appear closed on Pettitte returning to New York. The New York Daily News reported that according to a person close to the situation, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has "had dialogue" in recent days with Pettitte's agents, Randy and Alan Hendricks. "Andy's a free agent, and the one thing I've been consistent in saying is that we'd like to have Andy back," Cashman said last month, according to the Daily News. "I know he'd like to come back. That's set up for maybe a positive end result. It doesn't guarantee it." Last month, Pettitte told The Times that he wanted to return to the Yankees but was leaving the matter to his agents. Randy Hendricks did not respond to an e-mail message on Monday, The Times reported. There's also the issue of money. The $10 million offer Pettitte reportedly rejected would represent a $6 million decrease from the $16 million the Yankees paid Pettitte last year. And that comes at the same time the team has pledged $180 million to first baseman Mark Teixeira and a combined $243.5 million for starting pitchers CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett. There's also the question of what direction the Yankees want to go in with their pitching staff. The Daily News reported that according to baseball sources, there is a difference of opinion within the Yankees on whether to bring Pettitte back as a No. 4 or 5 starter, or let young pitchers such as Phil Hughes and Alfredo Aceves compete for spots at the back of the rotation. Pettitte went 14-14 with a 4.54 ERA last season, after starting the year at the center of baseball's performance-enhancing drugs scandal. Pettitte, 36, waited until early December 2007 to tell the Yankees he would pitch in 2008. That was before the release of the Mitchell report, which included Pettitte, and he had not told the Yankees he might be included in the report, which said he had used human growth hormone. He subsequently admitted using HGH and was supported publicly by the Yankees.

My dispute was you calling him "great". I expect him to play well under that coaching staff but let's hold off on the "greatness" until he shows it on the big stage. 8)

He has been well coached and will continue to be! WOS has QB's dating back to the 80's that were young and did just fine. Shouldn't change now.

He has and will be well coached!

Well the whole Recieving core is back along with a new Great throwing QB.

It will pick up!
