    And McGwire was a freak who was going to hit a bajillion home runs regardless of what he used.

    Tell that to Bonds who only became once in a generation after he took them. PED's made multiple once in a generation players (Bonds, Sosa, ARod). None of those guys would have been that good without them. Bonds and ARod were going to be clean HOFers, but we'll never know for sure. Oh my. This is delicious. Bonds' line through 1998: .290 .411 .556 .966 164 OPS+ 411 HR 99.6 WAR Yeah, I think we know for sure. I think Bonds is a tough example to use because he was so good all around and would have obviously been a sure fire HOFer without the cream and the clear. But you certainly can't deny he wouldn't have ever become even a 50 HR guy without them. He only hit 50 or more HR in a single season once in his entire career. Next highest? 46, in 1993; well before 1999.

None of those guys would have been that good without them. Holy smokes are you comically wrong about this. What's comical are the number of home runs that Bonds and Sosa hit right when they began taking PED's. The frequency of their homers is directly caused by taking them. You have no idea when Sosa started using PEDs. We do, however, know when Bonds started; after that year he had an insane season where he hit 73. His other near-full PED years? 49, 46, 45, 45. Some other Bonds' HR totals pre-1999? 33, 34, 46, 37, 33, 42, 40, 37.

None of those guys would have been that good without them. Holy smokes are you comically wrong about this. No he's not. All of those guys would have been really good players but none of them, especially Bonds and his comically ridiculous seasons, would have put up anywhere near the numbers they did. I mean seriously, go look at the post in another thread talking about Rich Aurilia hitting 37 HRs and the top 9 guys in the MVP voting averaging 49 HRs. No, he really is wrong. Bonds pretty definitively did not start using until after the 1998 season. His numbers up through that season are amazing. And pointing to guys like Aurilia is using a terrible example since he basically had one insane outlier season and was pretty unremarkable the rest of his year.

    Wilson, seriously, go look up A-Rod's numbers, too. If you can tell me with a straight face that you can attribute that mostly to PEDs then you have AMAZING self control.

    Rondon Fan is, like, angry at numbers and stuff.

    It was a wonderful time.

    Hrm burp ha that's totally the same thing as amazingly making a player good.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    PED's don't magically make players good or great. It's like some people see the relative few that used them to Hulk the [expletive] out as meaning having big muscles suddenly makes you an amazing hitter.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Please explain why you thought this made sense.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    They don't work like that, but it's adorable that you think they do.

    Is thread eating posts or something?
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Right. As they did this year you can sign guys that you can sell if needed (and if they succeed), but also have for more than one year if the team does better than expected/hoped.

    Barry Rozner's axe to grind with Ramirez is worse than anything we've seen with Kaplan. Guy is a [expletive] clown and a half. Rozner still never misses a chance to slam him on that stupid weekend radio show of his.

    Whut. Who is even the last left handed hitter the Cubs has that could hit lefties? I know Rizzo was pretty good at it earlier in the season but has tapered off, and even when he does get a hit its a little dribbler up the middle. Yet Chavez comes up there and hits one 420 feet the other way. It's just aggravating. Chavez sucks against lefties. Him hitting that was like Rizzo getting some hits against lefties; it happens, but how the [expletive] are you going to pretend like Chavez can actually hit LH pitchers on a regular basis?
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Whut.

    Lake running after that ball looked like Johnny Cage's flailing leg-kick.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Lake...what the [expletive] were you doing?

    Those look the most fake [expletive] baseball movie uniforms ever. Kenny Powers is going to be wearing those in season 4.

I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time. " Excellent.

    Rizzo is a sexy best.
