    No need to be flippant. I thought this was a pretty tame and decent discussion going on. And it was an excellent way to point out the fallacy of assuming that small ball was responsible for the Diamondbacks' WS or their offensive output that year. No, an excellent way would be to tell me in detail why you hold your opinion. The moustache comment was flippant. your position is so ridiculous that it doesn't deserve a long-winded, well-thought out reply. in fact, it really didn't even deserve my hilarious flippant response.

    bob brenly had a moustache thereby proving empirically that moustaches win championships.

    with patton on the roster, the cubs are essentially playing every game with 24 guys.
  4. abuck1220
    it's not all those guys vs. all those other guys. it's, at the very least, wuertz v. patton. i'd also argue i'd take gaudin over patton pretty clearly as well.
  5. abuck1220
    he's been friggin' pedro in his prime over his last 15 innings which is a hell of a lot more than we can say for patton.
  6. abuck1220
    and he had like 11 k's the game before that. don't worry though, the cubs have david patton, who was kinda ok for like 13 spring training innings.
  7. abuck1220
    if you want to get pissed about somebody, it should be gaudin or wuertz.
  8. abuck1220
    um that's what the actual list will be.

  13. abuck1220
    you hear that? two near hits. color me impressed.

    he tricked him into doing it. duh. in the battle for worst column, the suntimes guy isn't backing down... getz has crafted his way to a 62 OPS+, beckham 54, ramirez 85. crafty!

    from rogers' "give zambrano away" column... just like guillen planned it!

    speaking of midgets, man is fontenot terrible. what a disaster of a move by hendry.

    yikes. lawsuit time... the high speed chase involved the killer busting up some property with a baseball bat. he was caught after the high speed chase and sent to some type of mental hospital for evaluation. cops wanted a heads up when he was done with this evaluation (apparently so they could arrest him), but the place just let him go.

    parkersburg's had a rough go of it lately, to say the least.

    Honestly, how can you make statements such as the bolded when you just admitted you don't even know what greenies are? jeez, i know what they generally are...i don't have the [expletive] biochemical formula or whatever the hell you're looking for. if you want to keep believing greenies = steroids, go nuts.
  21. abuck1220
    yeah, i'm not romanticizing anything. if aaron took greenies, i guess he cheated. but a) his cheating helped him less than bonds' cheating and b) the stuff aaron did was apparently more widespread than what bonds did, thus making the playing field more level, and, in my mind, making his cheating less of a big deal. i'm not trying to glorify aaron or those guys in any way.
  22. abuck1220
    yes
  23. abuck1220
    I'm not asking you to. Feel free to get your panties in a bunch about today's players while romanticising the past, you're a movie guy so that sort of myth making is probably endearing to you. ok, well this is just [expletive] nonsense.
  24. abuck1220
    it's not a matter of integrity. also, regardless of what you think hank aaron would have done, what he did do was not nearly as significant as what bonds did. that's just common sense. and it sounds like greenies were much more widespread than roids, making for a somewhat more level playing field.
  25. abuck1220
    Nobody said they didn't help. The issue is that people seem to think one kind of illegal help is too far, and any other kind of illegal help in the past is ok. I don't know. Some people seem to be suggesting that today's PEDs aren't much or any more effective than greenies. I'm struggling to see how that could be true. The evidence seems to suggest that, at a minimum, some PEDs were really effective at making really good players, really really great. Also - that seems to be your issue. You seem to have an issue with people thinking one kind of PED is worse than another kind of PED. Others don't seem bothered by such a belief. What don't you know? Abuck is wrongly accusing people of pretending they don't help. We agree they help. But so did stuff back then, and if they had the stuff they have now back then there is no question they would use it. It is completely naive to pretend the "anything to get ahead" mindset was more ethical back then than it is now. They just didn't have the access. yeah, but they didn't have them, so they didn't take them. i'm not going to diminish hank aaron's numbers because i think he would have taken steroids if they were available. come on.
