    Then I will know spring is around the corner!

    Boring. Seriously, part of the attraction of this site is the passion. The conversations on this board often mirror the alarmist responses my brother-in-law and father-in-law share with each other over every little Cub move. Believe me, I've got a lot of friends that are Reds fans that don't know they took on shot on the CF with the checkered past, but I do and I'm not a Reds fan, I just read this board!

    So, another leak of information that was supposed to be private? The first positive test is not supposed to result in a player being named. And blaming someone else? There seems to be a pattern there.

    I'll get it if my cable company has it (last year they didn't). If it goes DirectTV only, I'm with BBB- hosed. My cable, phone, and high-speed internet are all through my cable company. Of course, I'm hosed if my cable company doesn't carry it as well.

    You know, one of the articles concerning the Sheffield trade had a headline something like "Tigers give up top prospect for Sheffield." I was surprised (and as a Tiger fan) happy it wasn't Maybin.

    He's going to struggle there, but his gifted ability will amaze those who have not seen him. I'd like to see him if even for a couple of innings. Still only 19.

    Kiss his but a little more, swordy. :P

    I don't think she has speaking rights on anything baseball related.

    That's amazing to me simply because I thought Balco's appeal was testing clean while gaining the benefits.

    Would the three hole be too much pressure on Murton, or would he get tons of fastballs with Ramirez behind him and excel? That would be interesting.

    I'm going off what I thought guys on ESPN radio said this morning- there was concern that "other stuff" would show up as well. Maybe they meant amphetemines (sp?) but I took it to mean other illegal drugs. EDIT- I just checked about a dozen on-line articles and most have verbiage about testing "for anabolic steroids". I can't tell if they tested for other stuff and it doesn't say they did, so the radio guys may have been just trying to get people reiled up, in which case it worked with me.

    It would be embarassing and it would suck that they thought they were participating in a confidential survey to see if there should be testing for steroids and something else came up. As far as careers, some guys may suffer HOF shots for testing positive in an anonymous survey for taking steroids before MLB cared enough to test for them. As has been said, they took the steroids and it's ultimately their fault, but it sure sucks if you used and took the test and have quit now that MLB implemented testing.
  14. wade
    Careers could be damaged because guys took steroids. Don't blame the release of the truth for their careers being damaged. That being said, this isn't a good thing for anybody. It only adds to the distrust between MLB and the MLBPA. I wouldn't feel the least bit sorry for some bum who used roids and is exposed. But dishonoring the confidentiality of this test only makes further testing more difficult. I know that if you sleep in hay you shouldn't be surprised to wake up itchy, but what if some guy tested positive because he smoked a hooter with his college buddies a week before the survey? As someone said earlier, the positive tests might show more than steroids. If they do, it seems this zeal to get Bonds is going to needlessly embarass other players. I guess I shouldn't feel sorry for them, but I do.
  15. wade
    Boy, is this a bunch of crap. I'd be really surprised if all names on the list weren't leaked. What if Bonds isn't even on the list? He took stuff from a company that specialized in passing drug tests, for crying out loud. Careers could be damaged because of a "survey" by MLB back in '03.

    I benchpressed 245 the other night. Not in rawaction's league, but pretty good for a 36 year old never-was, and this is the spot to tell of it!

    With apologies to Charlie Steiner, this is beleived to be Dontrell's first non-playoff relief appearance.
  18. wade
    I thought it was gonna be Oneri Fleita.

    I really think the Chargers should rest LT for the playoffs since they've clinched. (He's on the team I play against for the championship this weekend)
  20. wade
    Ditto. Scariest title I've read in a while.
  21. wade
    I think this is a great deal for the Tigers and almost makes up for the 2.5 to Jose Mesa. I still don't get that, unless Zumaya's gonna start, and I still don't get it then, really.
  22. wade
    I can't figure out why the Tigers would want another bullpen arm.
  23. wade
    He's an outstanding athlete, but he's got to get that OBP up. I think the Tigers believe he could be as good as Crede was last year for the next few years.
  24. wade
    And it's not the Cards. No way the Cards offer him 17 million. A rumor posted in one of the Chicago papers has the White Sox as the "mystery team". I think it's his agent posturing, but what do I know.
  25. wade
    Mike and Mike just reported rumors that a mystery team has a 1 year, 17 million dollar offer on the table for Bonds and it's not the Giants. I don't believe it, personally.
