Brian Roberts admits to steroid use
Soul replied to don_kessinger_was_good's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't buy any of these stories. These players all sound like the guy who cheated with another woman. "It was only that one time, and it didn't mean anything......honest!" Suuuure. As far as I'm concerned, they all did it multiple times, and all of them did it to gain a competitive advantage. This parsing of details based on what Mitchell was able to find out/didn't find out just won't fly. At least not with me. -
I wouldn't say that. It's not just jabber. Those insiders are legit. Nobody ever said the Roberts deal was going to happen quick. The groundwork was laid at the winter meetings. MacPhail still has other fish to fry first. Yeah, but even if they are legit, a message board is where you come to post stuff that really isn't all that solid. Otherwise it starts showing up in print. I know you're correct, it wasn't ever going to necessarily be quick.

They did have a timeout. Glad I wasn't the only one that realized that. Terrible decision by Lovie. And somehow, he's going to avoid criticism just like he has the whole season. He gave up? I wonder what the odds are of him getting fired this off-season? Not saying I'm for it - but it wouldn't surprise me. Turner has to go. Zero chance. Lovie still gets to try blaming his coordinators once before he gets the axe. Turner and/or Babich will get the guillotine first, either this offseason or perhaps next if there are no improvements.

You ask too many questions.

I think he is just proud of himself. He thinks he's the first one to think that Ron might be feeling some heat.

Your 2007 Bears: impossibly bad.

Astros offer a deal to Prior
Soul replied to Vanilla Ice's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Alright, well regardless he's the enemy if he signs with Houston. -
It's hard to really care anymore, to be honest.

Yeah, but really every NFC team is subject to looking bad this year. It's all about momentum, and right now the Vikes are giving away that head of steam they had built up.
-
The Giants are going to hurt the Giants in the playoffs. Jacobs might be getting ready to set a record for dropped passes.
-
LOL, yeah. Apparently the primary reason for Rodriguez leaving was his failing relations with the AD @ WVU. I'm not familiar with WVU internals, but it seems like they might not be that upset that he's leaving.
-
Unfortunately that's just message board jabber. I'm starting to think this thing is dying, or even possibly already dead.
-
Landry must be the biggest idiot that ever walked the face of the earth. What a moran.
-
The Gnats are getting beat by Todd Collins. In their home stadium. I swear, the NFC could just go to whatever team decides to get hot in January, regardless of seeding.
-
If you are referring to McNamee, he followed Clemens from Toronto. The Yankees hired him at Clemens request. Awesome. Is anyone else starting to smell rotten eggs when Gammons opens his mouth ranting about how McNamee is a "gutter rat" or whatever, when it was Clemens who pulled the guy all across North America with him. Hey Peter -- shut the hell up, thanks.
-
Indeed. I hadn't thought of that 8-)

Cowboys looked like complete crap today. I might have to brandish my eraser.

Yes, if the Beagles were to turn it over it would become a stupid one. Just kneel it. Dallas is out of timeouts and you're at the 2 minute warning. I thought it was a good decision by Westbrook. Yes, 95% of the time it's a good decision. There's just always that chance...

That's game. Even the famous Cowboys luck can't get them out of this one.

Lots of cheaters in the hall of fame. Spitball throwers, sign stealers...how about Ty Cobb's sharpened spikes? willing to cheat =/= steroid user This is a great point. IF Sammy used (and that's a big "if), it was not illegal or outlawed by MLB the years he was most likely juicing. That does not condone it, but if he did it, it was technically "within the rules." Compare this to someone like Gaylord Perry, who admitted to throwing an illegal pitch for most of his career, was caught on at least one occasion with a foriegn substance/object, and yet he seems to be revered. Would you be in favor of expelling him from the Hall of Fame seeing as it's a fact that he cheated, rather than keeping someone out based on speculation and public opinion? It makes no sense. They'll just keep him out, even though he's not in the Mitchell report and he hasn't been linked to the degree of the others. Sammy's probably not going -- though I still think he should. Then again, I would probably still vote for Barry & Roger, much as I don't like them. And I get the feeling many voters will not.

Soul replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hahah. Yes, it was just two days, honest. Hahahahahah. Well at least he admitted *something* -

Is that Mantle? -
Edmonds heading to SD
Soul replied to UK1679666180's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Ankiel's future has to be considered up in the air at this point, as the commish is apparently going to be probing all over the lives of those named in Mitchell's report. -
