    Allow me to lump myself in with the crowd that has never heard of or seen these books.

    Lots of cheaters in the hall of fame. Spitball throwers, sign stealers...how about Ty Cobb's sharpened spikes? willing to cheat =/= steroid user i know. i just don't want people patting themselves on the backs about being "right" about sammy being innocent I know this isn't a court of law or anything, but should he be presumed innocent as far as Steroid/HGH use goes until there's at least a shred of evidence otherwise? I'm not making excuses for Sammy...I surely don't have the same feelings about him as I one did, but corked bat aside (which there's no excuse for), for folks to claim he's innocent of steroid use...I don't think that's such a crazy position to hold given what has come out. I'm not sure I believe it...but I don't begrudge those that do.

    Well the 80's couldn't stop Rick Ainstely, so I dunno about that. It's Astley, not Ainstely. Rick Astley has officially given up on you, something he swore he'd never do. but..we've known each other for so long... You let him down. Now he's turning around and deserting you. Okay, I'm done. Yeah...how about everyone be done with that...

    MERCKER!

    I'm guessing Karchner never saw Sosa do it. Sosa has managed to not be named in anything, so if he did it, he did it very discreetly. I could see Farnsworth easily. And Hill is in the report, so could be.

    I saw that. Wood was injured in 99 though, right? So I don't think he'd be one of those guys.
  10. Banedon
    No Pujols, Prior or Wood in there.
  11. Banedon
    Glenallen Hill..... :(
  12. Banedon
    Vina...lol...I wonder how many ESPN "experts" are on there....
  13. Banedon
    I wonder how big it is? How long will it take for them to go through and pick out the names, or is it in a convenient list for mass slandering? :lol:

    Player A and Player B both get hurt. Player A uses an illegal substance to recover more quickly. Player B uses standard medical practices to recover. Player A recovers 6 months more quickly (completely arbitrary number). I don't see how this is different from one guy juicing for strength and another one not....
  15. Banedon
    Even if that's why they did take it for injury recovery, does that make it less of a baseball sin? I don't care why they took it. It helped them "perform"...whether it was for strength or for injury recovery.
  16. Banedon
    Hmmm...that big list you guys posted...is that steroids or amphetamines or both? Because Neifi is on that list...I thought he was busted for amphetamines. I can't fathom that he was on steroids...
  17. Banedon
    Wow...the Sox lose again.
  18. Banedon
    If by chance this is true, who would they put at the back end of the rotation? I would think they'd want to save some of the young pitching for depth later in the season.
  19. Banedon
    Well yeah, with the exception of maybe Bonds, and maybe not even there, nobody gets booed in their home park when they're doing well. Jacque's problem was he was always so immediately defensive when criticized, and then he was combative with the fans...they don't like that so much.
  20. Banedon
    Yes, they can. That's what happened a few years ago with Barrett. However, for that to happen Prior would have to be willing to return to the Cubs of his own free choice, which sounds slightly less likely than me winning the lottery jackpot. The Cubs have lost their exclusive rights (unless they change their minds in about the next 8 hours and tender him). Thanks...I'm glad I asked. Prior may find that the market for his services isn't what he thought.
  21. Banedon
    Correct me if I'm wrong. If they don't tender an offer, and he becomes a FA, the Cubs aren't allowed to make him an offer after that, correct?
  22. Banedon
    And even if the bleacher bums start cursing out Fukudome at some point, he won't understand what they're saying, so no biggee... :D
  23. Banedon
    You'll have to ask Meph. He's the president of the Brian Roberts fan club... 8-)
  24. Banedon
    George Offman said in his update that the Cubs and Sox had very similar offers. If Offman is any better for ya.... :P
  25. Banedon
    That's an assumption. But him coming back and pitching 10-15 starts isn't? I think I have his past history on my side of the assumption while the other side of it is wishful thinking. But again...the cost is minimal? What's lost? A relatively small amount of money. What is gained by not tendering an offer?
