[size]Athletics Carbaugh Suspended[/size]

The Philadelphia A's suffered a large setback in their plans to get back on top of the American League today when LF Jay Carbaugh (.306, 27, 120) was caught in the act of injecting himself with a new kind of drug that is rumored to increase the size of a man's muscles. "There is not a rule against it, but so what?" said MLB commissioner Johnnyslick Mountain Landis. "This is my league and I will run it the say I want to run it."

The suspension is set to last 50 games and, knowing Landis, there will be no time off for good behavior. Carbaugh has the 2nd highest homerun total in major league history with 231, but there is no telling how many of those homeruns were drug-homers.
