A report by a radio station in Chicago says the White Sox reached out to Major League Baseball after becoming concerned with message board rumors that A.J. Pierzynski was about to be suspended for using performance-enhancing drugs. But there's no truth to it, WSCR 670 the Score reports : Rumors reached a peak Wednesday when they were posted on message boards and they concerned the White Sox enough to inquire with the league office. The word back from Major League Baseball was that there is nothing to the rumors, according to the league source. Ah, Internet message board rumors. There's never anything to 'em. Usually. Not counting the Melky Cabrera saga, certainly. Earlier this summer, San Francisco Giants reporter Andrew Baggarly went to Cabrera and asked him about rumors that he was going to be popped for PEDs. Cabrera lied to Baggarly's face, prompting an explicit apology from the reporter. While Baggarly didn't have the details, there turned out to be a story there in the weeds. And Cabrera was prepared to keep lying to protect himself. As for Pierzynski, it makes sense that someone would start rumors about him. Even though they're unfair.
