That probably ends

his Cub career. He’s an org guy whose main value is his scrappiness and willingness to play anywhere.

I take that to mean he’s tested positive to a recreational drug and not a PED.

The tweet says

a drug of abuse

So you’re probably right.

I just don’t understand why people do this.

Yeah, that's the official term for non-performance enhancing illicit drugs

The first test was for marijuana

the one he got suspended for today was for a non-approved over-the-counter drug, whatever that was.

non approved over the counter drug...

is that “PED” supplement stuff or is that like he had copious amounts of nyquil in his system?

So i you can give you can take it.

MLB isn't saying

Could be ephedrine, Could be a PED, but usually MLB crows about catching those.

The tweet said "second time"

So it probably isn’t a PED

Niiiice...

The daughter of a coworker was dating him. Wonder what she’s thinking. Or if she even knows!

When I saw a Cubs farmhand

was suspended for use of an illicit substance, I was hoping it wasn’t a guy that I was counting on for something in the future. Fortunately, it wasn’t.

I hope he gets things worked out.

I'm a Cubs fan. The Jaded Bitterness comes as a Standard Feature.
