    Doesn't appear to be anything serious, probably just the first signs of arthritis starting to effect his 38 year old body. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/cardinals/story/F87F95BF3BF8B089862573400014066B?OpenDocument

    Per CNN, Vick accepts plea deal - no details yet.

    That is the new chicago cubs logo, and is the start of a 5+ game win streak! Bust the Birds.

    Can you imagine saying those two sentences two months ago?

    I never doubted Kendal or Jacque Jones for a second.

    Don't you remember, Rotschild spotted what Marquis was doing wrong and could easily "fix" Marquis with a few simple adjustments to his mechanics. :^o

    Nice prematures guys. This game ain't over.

    If Pete Rose joined NSBB and made 2000 post would he be eligible?

    Did you take anything away from Ben Johnson's or the East German swimmers' "accomplishments?" The Olympics started disqualifying athletes in 1968. It's not like they were turning a blind eye to it during Ben Johnson's years of competing. MLB turned a blind eye to it for a long time, including much of Bonds' career. True, but the East German swimmers were not "caught" until several years later after the Berlin Wall came down. I agree that MLB deserves blame for turning a blind eye to the steroids scandal as does the union, players, agents and fans - however that doesn't make it OK that Bonds cheated to obtain the greatest record in baseball.

    Doesn't it also kind of ignore the fact that other cheating has gone on throughout the history of the game? People have been taking greenies for a long time. Spitballs, corked bats, scuffed balls, etc....have been going on for several generations. I'm not saying any of that excuses what's gone on with steroids/PEDs, but a lot of those other forms of cheating never seem to be met with this kind of anger. Cheating will continue to evolve in all sports. The key is whether the governing authorities for those sports can manage to not ignore it for a couple decades when something new comes along. Cheating becomes a bigger issue when the breaking of records is involved, be it the 100 meter dash, the 50 meter butterfly or the greatest record of them all - the career home run record. I think the cheating of Gaylord Perry, Albert Belle, Norm Cash, Don Sutton, etc. would have received greater scrutiny/disdain if they were close to breaking any of baseball more cherished records.

    Couldn't agree with Christine more. Eventually, Bonds passing Aaron will be looked at the same way people currently view the records "broken" by Ben Johnson and the East Germans swimmers of the 70s and 80s. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/brennan/2007-08-08-column-bonds_N.htm

    Don't you get it - that was a fake winning streak they were on. i don't believe that Why? This isn't a good team that was playing over their heads for a while against bad teams. that simply isn't true though fatal mistake: not making a deal at the deadline they have the players...they have the talent...heck, you can even argue that it was all starting to come together as a team...the best way to win championships... give me some really good reasons describing exactly how they were playing over their heads for two straight months? Fontenot, Theriot, Marquis, Hill and De Rosa were having "career months."

    Has a team ever won a division with an under .500 record? It could happen this year.

    What are Floyd and Jones good for?

    It ain't over - Brewers only two touchdowns down.
  23. The Voice of Reason
    The Brewer pitching is so bad that even the Cubs could hit it.
