    I hate the Cubs.

    I said "probably, but it would be close". I do have experience coaching at the High School and Collegiate level and I do realize that he's a Major League Baseball manager, so he obviously knows a thing or two that I don't. However....he does make some really really foolish mistakes at times; decisions that don't make a lick of sense.

    to me, the technical aspects of it don't matter. What matters is that he knowingly engaged in behavior that, illegal or not, gave him a superior advantage over others, and when he practically got caught doing it, became even more belligerent than he already was.

    During Ruth's career, your average baseball field dimensions were somewhere around 380-450-360 or so. Also, during nearly all of Young's career, fouls didn't count as strikes. Everything is relative. To me, what hurts Bonds the most is the fact that he took the steroids with animus. He knowingly acheived an unfair advantage over others. Ruth couldn't help the fact that the rules were the way they were. Young didn't set the dimensions of a baseball park during his time.

    I've taken amphetamines before (not while playing ball), and it does make you more hyper, but it also makes you very skittish and nervous all the time. I think if I had taken them while playing I would have been far too keyed up to have done much good....certainly not BETTER than when I was off them and on my full mind. In my opinion, the gap between Amphetamines and Human Growth Hormone as they relate to athletic performance, is about the distance from the earth to the moon.

    Thank you! If Bonds was on the Cubs, people on this site would have such a diffrent attitude on Barry. If you support Sosa especially, then how could you hate Bonds? Ludacris. Best hitter of our generation, people. Well then, I guess I have an alibi to hate Barroid because I think Sosa cheated too and for that reason I couldn't stand him and he's getting his just desserts sitting on his butt wherever he is. And I'd argue Tony Gwynn was the best hitter of our generation, not Bonds. Gwynn's avg was 338 lifetime, Bonds 300. Gwynn achieved that average without being walked a billion times too.

    Were you joking about preferring he hit it in Oakland? Because he hit 714 in Oakland and a majority of the crowd cheered him. Late night angry brain fart. I remember him getting cheers in Oakland. I should have said Los Angeles. And to second what others have said, I don't recognize this either. Ruth and Aaron are still the kings.

    Way to go, ya jerk. He better thank the Gods of Baseball that he hit that homerun in SanFran, because I was praying to my own gods that it would occur somewhere else, preferably in Oakland. *

    Mabry got gang-raped....got slung to the ground by Anderson and had like 6 or 7 sox players jump all over him.

    Something i've noticed about Europe...your plane flights are cheap as hell. I have a flight from London to Berlin, roundtrip, that is booked for like 40 pounds.

    I feel bad that i'm getting to go and all you guys are such die-hard soccer fans....I hardly care at all about the games going on, but just the event. Ich werde da viel Bier trinken!
  12. OleMissCub
    I'm gonna be in Hamburg during the games, so I really look forward to seeing the experience. I'm not going to any games however, just want to see the scene. Deutschland! Deutschland Uber Alles!

    yeah im 29years but it doesnt fit too well lately, and its not the way the cubs have been playin, i cursed the organization about 2 weeks ago and am kind of reveling in their play, its fun to watch the cubs play like this while feeling serious venom towards them Hmmm...that's a neat perspective, I think I should pick it up. I'd rather have evil joy than pissed off anger.
  14. OleMissCub
    i dont agree with you much but here i do Yeti...who the heck are you? 29yrsloyal? Or have I just never seen anyone named "yeti" post here in the past 3 years? :-k

    It's pretty sad if true. You'd think they could at least show a tiny bit of respect to the country that lets them get millions of dollars to play a freaking game. Or hell, if they don't wanna do it for patriotic reasons, they should at least do it because they respect the traditions of the game itself.
  16. OleMissCub
    When I played, I could never imagine "shutting it down" out of spite for anyone, I loved competition and absolutely HATED losing. However....i've never had a manager who I thought was dumber than me. I always had coaches that I was sure knew more than me about baseball. I can't imagine a time when i've been more pissed off at this team, save the end of the 2004 season.

    Phil Nevin looked pretty stupid out there.
  18. OleMissCub
    hell with that! get JONES out of that lineup. not pierre.
  19. OleMissCub
    Completely absurd managing given the horrible slump our offense is in. Pretty dumb to waste an out at that moment, especially as you point, with a guy on deck who is 0-4 and pretty much sucks

    you gotta be shi**in me.

    I bet that was realllly nice. That's a great Paul song. He had some good quiet guitar songs on the White Album: Blackbird, I Will, Mother Nature's Son. my wife and my first wedding dance was to Paul's rendition of "Til There Was You" That's awesome! That was actually the second song they played on the famous Ed Sullivan show.

    Sure, but it was very infrequent, and when they did it they'd run off like little school boys and run to the bathroom in the studio and light up. I've read numerous books on them, they'd generally wait till they got home to light up. I have read quite a few books as well. Didn't they say they would 'go have a laugh?' I thought you had written that they never did drugs in the studio. Misunderstanding on my part. I was really meaning more serious drugs like the LSD or Heroin they did.
