Damn, the one guy I thought was clean who put up numbers. I guess Junior Griff is the only true one out there.

I am steadily becoming more and more pissed off at this sport. The ones that you figured to have taken them ( McGwire/Sosa/Canseco ) just didn't matter as much because you figured they probably did after the Congressional Day......Then Palmeiro after the 3,000 hit, Bonds slowly crept into the above parentheses category, Clemens, well I always thought he did, but no one would mention him until it became public, then this crap with Rodriguez...
The only one I was a fan of was McGwire b/c I lived in STL and got sucked into the hype.
My new favorite player (sounds like a 14yr old) Greg Maddux.....if that f*ckin' nerd took steroids then I am done with the sport
The best of 90's/2000's
Maddux
Griffey Jr.
Thomas
F*ck everyone else....I'm beyond pissed, and I don't even care for that douche Rodriguez

He always sided with Bonds, so I'm not sure I'd give him a free pass just for that reason....and I'm a lifelong Cardinals fan...Something about a strong character will to be associated with/or stay away from that discussion with Bonds that always bothered me......and he plays for LaRussa, a known advocate (or turns head towards) steroids. For me, it's guilty until proven innocent from now on with baseball, I'm tired of getting my hopes up for these guys and getting duped.
because hes the highest paid athlete in the sport and he is a Yankee.

Don't know if I can call Baseball a sport, this is outrageous, why don't you just inject me with some roids and watch me ding 70 hr's per season no problem, I'll even do it switch hit for jokes.

yeah i get that, and i understand that obviously the bigger the name, the bigger the story. so i realize that arod would be the highest profile guy to have tested positive.
but i'm not naive enough to think that there are no other all-star or even mvp type players among those other 103 names.

This claim is disputed
:smiley_acbe: Was at the palms on the night that Texas whipped the shit out of USC for the national title and Frank was in there ... walking past each other and i was all decked out in my texas gear and he said stopped to congratulate the horns.
my one experience with that guy was good .. and always loved his stance on steroids and testing.

come on...you can inject as much steroids as you want...youre still not gonna be able to touch King Cole's change or Lidge's slider
these guys still have talent...theyre just idiots

I ran into him at a hotel downtown and he was very friendly as well. He shook all of our hands and was very polite. He's my favorite player ever and I dont expect that to change. I'm 99.9% sure all of his numbers and mvp's are legitimate and its a shame you cant say that for most players.

They might have some talent but not a lot.
I will say they have fantastic hand eye coordination, but like you said, their decisions off the field is what is eventually going to cost them. These players will never know the feeling of being the Best.

I would assume it makes a lot of difference or all of these players wouldnt keep putting their reputations on the line.

Hmmm that I wonder too, I would assume that it generally helps players have more of a value as they grow older. McGuire wasn't too young when he popped those homers neither was Bonds.
I mean giving a guy like David Eckstein steroids wouldn't do much, the furthest he could hit would just be 365 ft

I wonder if Arod is still a hall of famer now? Interesting how they have been treating the "steroid era" players especially the ones they know used.
It doesnt help you play baseball. I know little, but this is what I know. You take a steriod and you are gonna be able to workout longer, go beyond your means. Meaning you get stronger meaning you hit balls longer, throw them harder etc...thats how I understand it

1. A-Fraud indeed.
2. As a White Sox fan, good to see so much Big Hurt love getting dished out.
3. I think both Ichiro and Manny are clean. Word is, for all Manny is not, he's a complete workout machine in the off-season. Now, I'm sure many others are, too. But something about his character just says he would find that s**t more trouble than it's worth--although I wouldn't be totally shocked if he tried it once, that too seems to be his personality.
But Ichiro, just look at his body type and how healthy he's stayed. Clean.
4. I am steadily becoming more and more pissed off at this sport.
Welcome, we've been waiting for you.

:36_11_6:Well said. That's the only player from that era that would shock the hell out of me.

I love the quote from ARod they keep running, too. "You'll have to talk to the union."
Jackass.
Thing is, you and I know they'll find a way to sweep this one under the rug. They'll say it was six years ago, Fraud will say it was a false positive and that they can test him now or whatever. He's too big of a star for them to let him go down.

LMAO at all the Bonds haters who consoled themselves with the fact that "at least his record wont last long with ARod around".

True, it's funny, and yet this doesn't make Barry any less of a horse-steroid injecting jackass.

I'm now rooting for Ryan Howard. I don't think he's on juice, just a big powerful guy. But what the fuck do I know, everybody can be on it.

I don't think Howard will get there, but just as a player I agree that he's very easy to root for.
Pujols, engh, not as much.

Jose Canseco is starting to look like the smartest player to ever come out of the MLB
Joe Public
Gabibbo's Finest
Canseco probably had this epiphany at one point of, "you know what, if I'm just honest about what's going on in baseball, I could make a pretty good living." Either that or someone had it for him.
Either way, yeah, that guy looks like a genius right about now. I wonder if he knew about the ball-washing clause in Clemens' contracts.

I faced him in 1998 my junior year in high school. Fox vs. Lafayette. He was about the same size in high school...maybe a few cheeseburgers less, but still a freakin' beast.....I tried to get a first pitch curve over on him and he hit it about 530 feet (self-proclaimed estimation) to straight away center....the ooh's and ahh's from the crowd is something I will never forget. At this point for the sake of MLB, I just hope he breaks the 500 HR total marker and makes it in the HOF. To Mr. Howard:cheers:

"Puroids"??? I've been saying that A-Roids has been doping forever but nobody ever wants to listen. Same goes for Pujols. Honestly I'm a bit tired of all the hitters getting railroaded though. They've also been hitting off of pitchers who were all juiced up for the last 10 years. Personally none of the roid scandal bothers me much. The only thing that really bothers me is that the MLB gets run through the stringer while the NFL gets a free pass. If you don't think that a great % of NFL players are on roids you're crazy. When you start offering players tens of millions of dollars to be the most extreme athletes in the world they are bound to cross moral lines to attain the most fame and wealth as possible.
