  1. I said it was rare. There is no evidence that Hank did PED's other than trying them once, despite the fluctuations and his home runs staying on a level plane. Why do you think Aaron's numbers were so great toward the end of his career? There's no evidence that Sosa did either, but here we are
  2. Look at his baseball reference profile. His stat progression matches the career arc of a steroid user exactly.
  3. my god, get bryant out of boise before those uniforms ruin him
  4. those are embarassing. it looks like something youd make in an old triple play baseball game or something
  5. my god those are awful. is Boise a little league team?
  6. http://images.sodahead.com/polls/003702497/2313188488_158811_650_366_xlarge.jpeg "Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? 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. "
  7. Dang, I wasn't covering that game. lmao he's crumpled into a heap and all the players don't move a muscle
  8. i feel like this whole thing is just so MLB can get the Yankees out from under ARod's contract.
  9. that money is sunk, they aren't going to get anything better back just by paying it, considering the alternative is just paying it in the first place. the money is sunk, but of course they should expect a better return the more they pay. if a team is getting a player, the less money they have to pay him, the more valuable he is and the more he should cost. if they don't get enough in return, then they should be paying him to play for the Cubs, not the yankees. there's no question that a team should have to give up more for soriano and $18M than for soriano and $10M (or $5M - or nothing) or something. here's how other teams are gonna look at it option a) the cubs pay soriano's 2014 salary, we pick up the rest of 2013 so you can replace him next year and we give you something not completely terrible option b) there's no option b paying the entire thing is the only way to move him. saying "well we'll accept a nothing if you pay the whole thing/a significant portion" accomplishes nothing because no one is going to do it
  10. its not really hard to figure out
  11. that money is sunk, they aren't going to get anything better back just by paying it, considering the alternative is just paying it in the first place.
  12. alcantara - BA top 100, barely cubs top 20. ok.
  13. lmao vitters got 100 tries and couldn't crack a .400 ops. juan pierre is probably slugging that number right now
  14. i mean it's funny but this guys' life will forever be better than mine so basically im still sad
  15. $78 million
  16. Every time I think about Almora, I just kind of don't get the hype. But then you see the results and hear the reviews and I can't help but buy in.
  17. I AM SUCH A PATHETIC SUCKER FOR THIS TYPE OF STUFF. There's one--ONE--guy on that list from the Big 12. Seastrunk. Yikes. thats embarassing
  18. how can a frigging billionaire knock up and marry such a loon
  19. Yeah my recollection is that the board mostly thought it was a good trade, but we all figured we were trading minor leaguers for a guy we would trade for more minor leaguers later.
  20. im going to hit up the batting cages in 30 minutes so basically do it before then please
