Runelvys Hernandez suspended 50 games for a doping offense DENVER -- Runelvys Hernandez, who started four games for the Astros this year, was suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball today after testing positive for amphetamines. Hernandez, who spent most of the season at Class AAA Round Rock, will serve the suspension at the start of next season. Amphetamines are considered a performance-enhancing substance and are in violation of the minor league drug prevention and treatment program. Hernandez, 30, was 0-3 with an 8.38 ERA in four starts for the Astros this year. He appeared in 24 games at Round Rock, including 23 starts, and was 8-8 with a 4.91 ERA. He was taken off the 40-man roster Tuesday.
yea, heard about the Hernandez thing... what a fool if not for Moehler's HBP in the 4th last night, we might be on a 10-game winning streak and, when is Puma gonna break out of this slump... maybe he needs to do the gold thong next awesomeness from Roy tonight
Damn, great game by Roy. Hope Wiggy is ok. Didn't have the game on today. Just the rangers and some crappy College Football games.
can't blame Hernandez, he's just another veteran who thinks that extra juice would help him get to the Majors.
Ausmus is a terrible, absolutely terrible hitter. I can't wait until he is gone. Can't wait until we call Castro up.
Brew crew last 10-1. No hitter was lost in the bottom of the 8th for Young. Astros winning 3-2 right now. Cubs lost, Kerry Wood choked and gave up 3 runs in the 9th. Cards are winning I believe.
Bourn needs to lighten up he hit the ball hard it just got caught that was a good AB he seems hella pissed though.
Based on his play in the 9th last night and offensive performance today, I will take back some of the bad things I have been thinking about Castillo.
