  1. that's pretty shitty
  2. shot of the year tonight in the ou-baylor game
  3. is mexico's keeper [expletive]
  4. same colorado that pushed us to the buzzer i don't trust OU at all this year
  5. there are parts of abreu's game that are nice, but overall he seems like one of those break-even players that don't cut it in a position where you need to get a high percentage of your production. his defense isn't going to get better, it will only stay the same or worsen. And that's bad, because his bat is good, but he's already tossing a large portion of that out the window by being so bad in the field. Now he's old and on the downside, and the odds of him making up for his glove with his bat go down every day.
  6. YOU CANT STOP COREY MAGGETTE (from traveling)
  7. because committing a felony and cheating at a game are the same thing And if cheating makes you millions more, that's a form of theft, isn't it? no Care to elaborate? You'd disagree with me if I said the sky was blue. i wouldn't disagree with you if you weren't wrong. the owners knew what was going on and offered up contracts to the guys juicing. this stuff wasn't a surprise to them. Unless I'm missing something or there is some elaborate conspiracy in baseball that I am unaware of, how are the owners supposed to know who's juicing and who isn't? In addition to that the potential theft that may be created isn't necessarily from the owners. In fact the owners have most likely obtained money from steroids. What could be considered theft is from the Minor leaguers who were clean and didn't get to the Majors because of people ahead of them who used and from clean Major Leaguers who didn't get a bigger contract because of steroid users who had better numbers. What i meant is that the owners all knew that players were using steroids, but no one ever stepped up and did or said anything. Instead they kept giving out big contracts which indirectly just encouraged it. as far as it being theft because it hurt clean minor leaguers, there's no need to even bother calling it theft. I mean, it may or may not be, but why waste time trying to come up with a term that flimsily fits the crime? Using steroids is illegal, it's wrong, it's cheating, it's bad.
  8. that's a pleasing loss. three months ago we lose tonight by 40. Kevin Durant is just amazing.

  10. hey raisin, im not watching the game (don't ask), who is guarding durant, odom or kobe?
  11. eddie griffin was the truth until he got busted masturbating in his suv while watching porn and driving at a grocery store and then got killed by a train
  12. you'd almost think illinois was good this year or something almost
  13. and the East Coast is five guys going to Duke, I assume Duke hasn't finalized scholarships for next year's class, which is why the McD's East team hasn't been set yet. The official rosters won't be announced for another week, but these are the names I know have found their way out. I'm pretty sure Tommy Mason-Griffin and Keith "Tiny" Gallon are McD's AAs as well. i haven't paid any attention to this yet this year. Is Gallon really a McDonald's AA? He must have taken the annual overrated duke post-recruit all-american nod from a blue devil
  14. winning two and losing two is in no way an outcoaching, but OSU definitely outplayed OU twice. Nothing you posted proves he's a good coach, which he's not, which you know, which you won't admit because of your undying allegiance for all things sec
  15. if kiffin can't outcoach les miles, he should be shot immediately
  16. yeah, ahead of verlander among others i mean, it wasn't a great draft overall, but when are teams going to learn that they need to just pony up the $, this signability stuff at the top of round 1 annoys me to no end
  17. hasn't jones' motivation been questioned even when he was good? last year he was fat, injured and unmotivated. I think a fat, unmotivated but healthy jones is a decent bet to be better than joey gathright.
  18. are you even paying attention or are you just talking? I think it's obvious Sosa used steroids, but if you stacked his career up next to Aaron's without either of their names next to their stats, and said "who used steroids?" the answer would be "both." And the total of 50-home run seasons during the 70s is irrelevant to whether or not Aaron used, which is missing the entire point of the conversation completely, but i suspect you know that and that's why everything you're talking about is so off topic.
  19. Good luck with that. Go for Maris while you're at it. Now those would be real "witch hunts." You can nit pick all you want but nothing in baseball history will compare to your tarnished heroes from the steroids era. You sound like someone told you there is no Santa Claus. maris was a good power hitter who suddenly had the best HR season in the history of baseball, but he went bald during that year and then got hurt a lot afterward and retired, never coming close to approaching that homer total. fits the profile Roger actually lost weight that year on his skinny frame with no increase in head size. He was protected in the lineup most of the year by a good Yankee lineup and saw a lot of fastballs down the middle and was the perfect hitter for Yankee Stadium's short porch. How about comparing Aaron's career home run consistency with McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, etc? How about it Meph? FYI, IMB your man Obama just said at his press conference that A-Roid and all the guilty players of the steroid era had "tarnished" baseball. I thought it was a great choice of words. Now who could argue with someone as smart as Obama? hank aaron hit 29 home runs in 160 games as a 34-year old, then hit 44 as a 35-year olda nd hit a career high 47 as a 37-year old. He had his best power years well past his prime. He hit 40 home runs as a 39-year old. his profile fits that of a steroid user. The only reason he was able to break ruth's record was because he played longer than most players were able to, and we all already acknowledge that steroids prolonged bonds' career. looks like aaron is dirty too Not even close to the Bonds increase in home runs. Aaron never even hit 50. Time to move on and admit you are wrong. 50 home runs is the benchmark for a steroid user? because he didn't hit as many as bonds, that means he's innocent? He missed your magical 50-home run mark by 3 whole home runs when he was 37-years old. That's more than Bonds hit at that age and aaron did it in fewer plate appearances. Everyone looks at Sosa and assumes with only circumstantial evidence that he was a user, but there's as much circumstantial evidence that aaron used, too.
  20. ive never been to real gm's forums before. man, looks like a lot of good stuff.
  21. because committing a felony and cheating at a game are the same thing And if cheating makes you millions more, that's a form of theft, isn't it? no
  22. i'm curious for murtonfan's opinion on the new promotions
  23. man, a-rod is so full of [expletive]. just own it you pansy. all this "well i didn't even know they were steroids" stuff, give me a break. Who is this fooling. You didn't know whether or not you had actually used steroids until the reporter told you? Come on.
