Ubaldo Jiminez, Josh Johnson, Stephen Strasburg

Just shut him down for the rest of the year. No use risking the health of the future of your franchise on a lost season. -
Near the end he was getting pretty Dusty-esque.
-
Trammell has a brain. Hendry is intimidated. And jealous.
-
Will Lou cap off his career with another completely unnecessary Koyie Hill start?
-
Hendry said that Quade is a candidate but Trammell isn't. God forbid. :roll:
-
I think ARam would be claimed before he fell to the Yankees.
-
Let's save on some asterisks and just put it one on the front door. They all shouldn't be lumped in together. Gehrig, Mays, Wagner, Ted Williams, etc shouldn't have their accomplishments diminished because of known steroid cheats.

Sammy Sosa has some things to say about the Cubs

I would have been happy for him. I, for one, was happy he hit his 600th home run against the Cubs. It just seemed very fitting that the Cubs were involved. -
We won! Finally!
-
ball 3 to Lee was a strike.
-
D Lee leading off the 9th. Who says he puts one onto Waveland?
-
No, it would mean that the game has lost its purity-- that the talent you're seeing on the field isn't natural, it's chemically-enhanced and therefore fake, making it no better than WWE in the eyes of a lot of fans. Baseball is also not very good at policing itself. It never has been.
-
Heyward ought to win an Oscar for that acting job.
-
Don't worry. There's plenty of time for them to blow it.
-
No it wouldn't. It would make people lose faith in the game of baseball itself. that's pretty stupid and melodramatic, but i guess stupid and melodramatic describes the majority of baseball fans, so maybe you're right Yourself included?

If you put them in and there was proof they juiced, it should be mentioned on their HOF plaque. "Sammy Sosa hit like, a [expletive] ton of HRs. Everybody loved it, especially in 98. Turns out he used steroids, so now a bunch of self-righteous dicks like to pretend that they hated him all along, but they really loved it. In conclusion, Sammy was really [expletive] awesome, but old people will hate him because he used steroids instead of doing something more honorable like stabbing black people(see Cobb, Ty)." Do you think they'd accept something like that? Not like that, obviously, but an asterisk with something like "player used performance-enhancing drugs during playing career" underneath it.

Number 21 ought to be flying high on a flagpole in right field. The fact that it isn't yet is an embarrassment. Way to use up a guy then spit him out and shun him once you no longer need him. He was the only guy putting butts in the seats in 1999, 2000, 2002 and now you treat him like this. Stay classy, Cubs. -
That certainly would be interesting. The Dodgers were on the bubble when they got him and are pretty much out of it now. Please not the Cardinals, though. I don't want to have to hate him.
-
I have absolutely nothing to back this up, but it seems like about 1996 in Boston would have been the time to take them. His 1995 wasn't impressive at all, he was on the wrong side of 30, and he had a decent final year in Boston, then went to Toronto for 2 years and became Roger Clemens again. Again, absolutely nothing to back this up, but looking at his career stats maybe that was the time.
-
It would still be quite a feat: They'd have to play like .250 ball the rest of the way to do it. They're in a terrible streak right now, but I'm sure they'll have a streak yet this year where they win 4 or 5 in a row and foul it up.
-
Eh. I wouldn't have cared. I would have been kind of happy for him.
-
Fail.
-
I don't know if it's exactly 98%, but I know for sure it's in the high 90's. Pretty much, the Feds don't indict unless they know they can win.
-
I'm willing to bet the exact opposite. The government is not going to lay down in such a high-profile case. Maybe your right. My thought was that they aren't going to lay down in terms of getting a conviction, but I just can't see Clemens getting like 30 years in jail. I don't think the sentence length is as important as getting a guilty plea from Clemens. For a celebrity/athlete, I feel like any jail time sends a stern message to them that lying under oath is not going to go unpunished. ESPN said he could face anywhere from 6-21 months total. So he's not going to rot away in prison somewhere.
