"I took PEDs and I'm not proud of it..but people that think you can take a shot or a pill and play like the legends on that ballot need help."

Next is people like Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong next.

Somebody told me that Paul Loduca got expelled from Brophy Prep in Phoenix for breaking into his teachers office and stealing a math test.

Is it true.

I dont know if its true but I heard one of the questions was to construct a Pick 6 ticket using a $120.00 budget. When you are finished, and have the answer, starting smiling for the TV camera and nodding your head up and down.

What Paul Lo Duca doesn't understand is that without PED's he more than likely wouldn't have qualified for a major league pension, let alone be a three-time all star. Since three-time-major-league-all-star has seemingly become part of his name, I doubt seriously that he would be employed by TVG without the PED's. So in essence, he kept a clean player from a spot in the majors and is now keeping someone from an analyst position on TVG. He shouldn't be proud of it and I'm a lifelong Dodger fan.

How many times does Schrupp have to say it..."I'm joined by four-time major league all star..." When Lo Duca attended ASU, he was the best hitting catcher in college baseball, and he was drafted prior to the time he claims he started using PED's. He did not keep anyone out of the majors as you seem to suggest.

A lot of players are drafted--the Dodgers drafted 61 players before Mike Piazza--they don't all turn out. Many college hitters don't do as well with a wood bat. I remember Lo Duca's major league debut. It was on Father's Day in 1998, the day Fred Claire and Bill Russell were fired. Lo Duca had to be a better than average hitter to make a roster since he was just a mediocre defensive catcher--back-up catchers are almost always defensive specialists. Lo Duca was not a better than average hitter--at least not against major league pitching--at that time. That is why he was on the Albuquerque Express from his debut through 2000. When he became a better than average hitter, he was made the starter. In my opinion, it was the PED's that gave him the strength to gain the necessary bat speed to do so. Without the PED's he would have been a Triple A catcher, thus a clean defensive specialist would have been a back-up somewhere since Lo Duca's defense never improved beyond mediocre. If it wasn't the PED's that aided him, then why did he take them? If it makes you feel any better though, I'm a big Andre Ethier fan.
