Update:

oh wait how does ESPN gain so much credit from so many people

open your eyes, fools

ESPN picked Lebron James to be MVP last 2 years...what happened? did he win? No

ESPN picked Lebron to win the NBA finals last year...what happened? He got swept

ESPN picked the Yankes to advance past the 1st round each year...what happenned? THats what I thought

ESPN provides excellent coverage...don't be blind fools and believe their analysis

Update 2:

uhhh im not a dodger fan...

im an angels fan but I do support the dodgers but not even remotely as close to my Angels

don't jump to quick conclusions

    Hey dodger fans, Peavy made you look stupid, and now you're crying that he cheats ???

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Don Sutton, a man known to doctor up the ball, pitch for you for years ????

    But keep crying......

    EDIT.... I was referring to "ocnumber" , not asker of question...

    Pine tar or no pine tar Jake Peavy shut us down. I am a die hard Dodgers fan and I am not a big fan of Jake Peavy, but he just destroys us every time he pitches against us. 10-1 lifetime against the Dodgers. He was pretty close to pitching a no hitter in that game and if he did have pine tar on his hand then he should be fined and suspended. I doubt it was though.

    that most likely is/was pine tar. this has been going on for years. it's like don't ask don't tell. as a pitcher in the national league one could always say i tried to get it off as best i could after i used some for hitting. i've tried it before and know that it won't help some guys but it worked when i tried it giving me a tighter grip which gave my breaking pitches more bite. even if managers see it on the other team they tend not to say anything because there are most likely guys on their team doing the same thing. peavy's got great stuff regardless. but i mean it's in the perfect spot and everything so i say he did use it purposely.

    I think his hand is just dirty. Looks brown to me. Pine tar is much darker. I think people are just jumping to conclusions. But I am a Padres fan, which of course means that my opinion counts the most and that I am right regarding this subject.

    just because hes a good pitcher it has to be pinetar. it couldnt just be dirt and sweat and **** from the rosin bag no of course not lol. if this was kyle lohse no one would give a damn and assume its dirt. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS SO WHAT IF IT WAS PINETAR. HE IS LESS OF A CHEATER THAN A JUICER

    It does look a little weird. I don't think the MLB will do anything. Steroids is the bigger problem right now. If it happens again, then they will probably investigate it.

    I don't care because using pine tar is an easy way to get caught cheating.

  • 1 decade ago

    Kenny Rogers ,Beckett,Peavy,Oswald,Gagne,Joe Nathan ,Hoffman,David Wells,Mike Hampton,Kerry wood all guys well known for " adding grip to the ball" cheats ..by rule yes but baseball has to gives pitchers something...

    This will not have a good reputation on him especially because he's the ace of that pitching staff and because of the star pitcher that he is.

    it turned out he used poop for grip not pine tar......cheater
