FLASH: Giants LF Melky Cabrera Suspended 50 Games

The bonehead was caught with an elevated testosterone level. If the Giants make t to the post season he will be eligible to return for the 6th game of the playoffs.

Cabrera released a statement accepting his usage and suspension:

"My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used. I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Francisco Giants organization and to the fans for letting them down."

You would think that hiting .310, or .315 was good enough... what an asshole.

This prices him into the Mets starting outfield next year. Perfect.
