Ron Washington: Coke Is It

Didn't read the article, but did he really say that? One and only time?

To me, that's even worse than snorting the blow--just out and out lying like that. Come on, man, we're not that fucking stupid. Be a man and own up to the truth, coked up assclown.

 

Yes, he said it was one time only.

"Normally, I smoke PCP-laced weed by the bucketful. But I felt like I was in a rut, so I figured, why not switch it up just once?"

 

And it just happened to be right when they tested him.

Shitty luck, there...

 

I do find it hard to believe as well that he only did it once.

But to his credit the story says he has been tested multiple times since and never failed. Most likely what happened is that the failed test -- and he knew it was a failed test before the results even came back so that has got to tell you something -- scared him straight.

 

Obviously the story has to be reported. Obviously it was a terrific scoop by Heyman.

That being said, these were always the kind of stories that made me think, "Holy shit, I'm a celebrity journalist."

 

Hope he gets straightened out. Baseball needs Ron Washington...straight.

He's been chain smoking those coffin nails for a long while; can't say I'm flabbergasted by this news, but I find it disappointing.

 

Since test took place after All Star game chances are that Ron partied a tad too much in East St Louis.

At 57 you would think he would have to say WTF am I doing as he grabs the rolled up bill and leans over the line.

 

Sounds like a topic for "Outside the Lines''

 

Perhaps he tried to have a better understanding of Josh Hamilton.

Rumor is that Art Howe was his supplier.

 

In my reading of the story, he apparently owned up to it to ownership before the test result came out. He gets some credit for that.

Hard to believe, a 57 yr old getting popped?

I think his supplier was Hurdle.

 

Refreshing coke. That's one way to make it through the Texas heat.
