  1. That's because he could go to the Dominican Republic for his supply. They don't have smoking guns in the DR (except for Manny Alexander). Sammy has proven that he is not above cheating, e.g. corking his bat. Given that, I am fairly confident that he would have no problem taking steroids. There's no flights out of San Francisco to the Dominican? There are. And judging from Bonds' problems he would be better off right now if he had been on one of them.

If you've ever gotten a speeding ticket you could be charged with murder. I actually think corking the bat is worse than taking steroids. That is cheating and everyone knows it. An argument could be made that since everyone was taking steroids it wasn't a big deal. But we know that everyone wasn't corking their bat. I don't think Sammy is a criminal, I am saying that I wouldn't put it past him to take steroids. HOwever, you probably think Sammy just grabbed the wrong bat and didn't intend to use a corked bat.

Sammy has proven that he is not above cheating, e.g. corking his bat. Given that, I am fairly confident that he would have no problem taking steroids. But that just answers part of the questions. Supply is one thing, but where would he have injected it? Sosa wouldn't have taken steriods exclusively in the DR in the offseason, would he? I don't think the drugs work like that. Where would he inject it? In his butt, I don't know, but he probably injected while in the u.s. He gets his supply in the offseason in the DR and takes them during the season. Pretty simple.
  4. You mean the ones who can tell what drugs people have taken by looking at pictures of them in baseball uniforms? The thing I don't understand about the majority of people on this board is why they defend Sammy Sosa when they criticize Barry Bonds and say that he took steroids. The fact is that Sosa's body changed just as much as Bonds's did. Both of their heads looked like they got filled up with helium. Both of their bodies looked completely different in 2001-2002 than how they looked in the early 90's. Bonds went from a superstar to the best player ever in the game and Sosa went from an all star to a superstar. Both used to be 5 tool players and suddenly became home run hitters (although Bonds did keep his average up). In his last couple years Sosa was just a 1 tool player. Of course I don't have evidence that Sosa took steroids. My point is that everybody condemns Barry Bonds just cause he is an ass and nobody likes him but nobody says anything about Sammy Sosa just cause he's a good guy and people feel bad about his departure from Chicago. Please, don't hold a double standard. Use your brains to think and realize what actually happened. I'm done with this discussion. ' Well put. I agree 100%.

  6. Why does everyone hate Grace? I loved the guy. He was as clutch as can be and loved playing in Chicago. So, he was bitter that he left, can you blame him? I would be concerned if he didn't mind being replaced by Choi/Karros. Grace was a gamer, and I love him for that. Let's not forget that Grace isn't the only one who dislikes Sammy. I actually can't think of any Cubs that really loved Sammy. We know Ryno doesn't care for him, and Dawson didn't care for him much either. They didn't dislike him for his personality, but his lack of respect for the game. I agree with them.
  7. I think of the board as a stock and it goes up and down. Right now it's on a down cycle but it will be up again soon!!! :D I know it's a message board and I know that it has been an optimistic place before. However, right now, this place is negative and sneers at any positive posts, like TC3's. I'm just disappointed that the reactions are so predictably negative. I know I have the option to not come here, thank you. As a result, I do visit the board less than I have in the past, but I do think it is the best Cubs message board available with the most knowledgeable fans.
  8. This board is so depressing. TC3 tried to inject some optimism and he gets ripped for it. I used to really enjoy reading everyone's views, because they were interesting and unpredictable. Now, the opinions are terribly predictable and almost always negative. I don't even have to be near a computer to know that practically everyone on here is making fun of Hendry's weight or calling Dusty Baker stupid. A little optimism goes a long way, isn't that why we are Cubs fans?
  9. I would do Z and Walker for Utley and Abreu. I'd love to get Utley on this team.
