San Francisco Giants' star Melky Cabrera has been suspended for 50 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. It's the second doping suspension this year for the Giants and accounts for half of the drug suspensions for Major League Baseball nationally. Forum discusses the scandal and what it means for the team and its fans.
