No it isn't. Sorry. You have to be kidding. Not at all. There have been multiple steriod reports to come out, to date, and he hasn't appeared on one. The best evidence they have against him is when someone allegedly overheard him talking about what he'd do if they banned amphetamines - something that has been used in baseball for decades. The only evidence anyone has is that he bulked up after a couple of years in the big leagues. Which of course could have nothing to do with the fact that he went from being a mal-nourished teenager from the dominican republic to a well-known gym-rat when he made it to the big leagues. It's interesting - and this is something I didn't know until last week: My biology&physics of sports professor was talking about the effect of steroids in class the other day and apparently any amount of muscle/bulk that steroids help you build can be built by just spending hours in the weight room. So - basically, having freaking massive arms (which, sammy did) does not mean he used roids. It would however mean that he had to spend an absolute ton of time in the gym. Which seems to be exactly what everyone says about him. So is there a reason to suspect he did roids? Sure - there's a reason to suspect everyone in the past 10-15 years has roided up at some point. But to this point there has been absolutely zero credible evidence against Sammy, so it's just as reasonable to say that "hey, maybe he didnt"

Same - but we miss Santana, so at least that's on our side.

And Paul Bako filled his quota of HR for the season as he hit one against MIL tonight.

Fwiw, there were vendors outside Wrigley selling that shirt today. Yep, I saw three different ones. I saw some guy walking out wearing the shirt in question. Apparently he doesnt read the SunTimes. Which...i suppose would make him a normal human being.

The mets and phils are tied at 4 heading to the bottom of 7. How bout this game goes 10 or 12 innings. I want the Mets good and tired. And hopefully short on BP help.

So it's about a 99% chance I'll be working in the bleachers for this game since i've been there every day but one. This could be interesting. :shock: 8-)

That is the most glorious thing i've ever seen. SIG'D

Murton can't play center. Murton.

back BACK BACK THAT M%%^ F%^&ING BASEBALL IS WAY THE F%^* OUT OF HERE! oh wait..that's the youtube version..

"The man who crushed my childhood optimism and happiness" where's that option?

Then he killed the cheetah with his bare hands. you left that part out.

I wonder how many folks will be blazed out of their minds tomorrow. at the game that is.

Hmm...it seems as though somebody(or a hundred of them) may have predicted this would happen. :-" :)

Holy Eff. We've scored 39 runs in 5 games against these bums. 7.8 runs per game. Throw in the fact that we only scored 3 yesterday and that becomes even more ridiculous. They are officially our beotches.

Add Blanco to that list. I always see him dancing in around like a dork when they are warming up. It's moderately hilarious.

That won't last till the end of the month. Or at least I hope (For Rammy's sake)

Those headbands say "horry Kow" on th side, too. I wondered how long it would take until someone got offended by this.

What would happen to the other two games? Canceled due to earthquake. Hahaha, awesome.

It may have been just a nice gesture. They did take a cab back to the hotel together after the game. And on a somewhat-amusing side note, I don't know if they showed it on TV, but when Eric came up to bat the first time Dunn motioned over to Corey in center and pointed at Eric up at the plate. Corey took a few steps back towards the wall and motioned for Dunn to back up too. It was pretty funny.

What happened today? People were drinking more than usual (that or it was affecting them more than usual) and as a whole the crowd was just unruly. Very argumentative and foul-mouthed. Then at the end there was a fight in the bleachers between a couple guys and a couple girls. I guess one of the guys threw beer on the girl or something. It was pretty weird. Wouldn't really expect a friday afternoon game that we were winning almost the whole time to be like that. Must be a full moon.

This.

I like it when the cubs win more than when th cubs lose. Lets do it again. Oh, and for anyone going to the game tomorrow - try to be less douchebaggy than those who were there today. Such a random day for a bad crowd.

This makes me happy because it hurts the Brewers This makes me sad because it hurts my fantasy team.

I have casey blake on one of my teams. He needs to remember he's good.

That's the problem. There may only be 7-8,000 jackasses at Wrigley, but they are all in the same (and most visible) place. Truth.
