Still doesn't help you hit a 95 mph fastball or a nasty curve/slider...

But it does help it get over the 2B's head as oppose to right at him. etc.

Are you going to put asterisks by every pitcher in the dead ball era too?

Or batters in the live ball era?

 

Take it football, how about asterisks next to WRs recently benefitting from the rules against DBs?

Fact is...we have no idea what any of the old timers were taking either.

The things were not against baseball's rules...same as it went in football.

Prior to testing...many were using.

Now, if you get caught after testing started...yup, asterisk the crap out of em.

But putting it next to everyone from this era...you better backup and do the same for other eras too.

:sigh:

 

I stated that all the records should stand and all the players should be in the HOF. The only thing I stated other wise was that on the HOF's plaque it be mentioned that they played in the steroid era. Which they did and which is part of history.

Ok...so again, are you going to go back and do the same for those players who are in and were a part of different eras?

Or just for steroids?

The HOF is considered two things. A place to showcase the best baseball players that have ever played, and as a history lesson to all those that visit. The Jackie Robinson plate states when he was born, all the teams he played for, that he was the first black athelete, all his acomplishments, yada yada. The history.

 

A blurb on a 1990's/early 2000's HOF's that stated he played in the "steroid era" is a factual part of MLB history.

 

If you want to go back and write "played in the deadball era" or what have you, on some old mofo's plaque, if that is a proven part of baseball history, then I have no problem with it. Knock yourself out. I don't think anybody would care though.

Agreed, cause they all played together under the same set of rules and circumstances. Wasn't like Ty Cobb was hitting a 'live' ball and everyone else hitting a 'dead' ball...

sounds like he just did an interview with ESPN whre he admits using

steroids also don't motivate someone to lift weights or to use better form when they do.

but the results...

You know I really didn't think I needed to list every player in Mitchell or the union-pee test list, since I've stated before every one of them should be booted.

 

Go drink some coffee Ed, you're kind of dense today....well more dense than usual.

 

WTF are you smoking, everyone of those players should be put in the hall of fame and praised. Baseball is focking boring. The fact that the players are juicing means more runs scored, and better games.

 

 

Steroids =

You know why people use steroids?

 

Cuz they werk.

I wonder now if this factored into the Red Sox not trading for him and taking Schilling instead.

 

Theo....is a genius.

 

Huh? The reason that the Sox did not trade for him was that the MLBPA blocked the renegotiation of the contract that A-Rod and the Sox agreed to. Once that happened, then the Yankees were able to get in on the bidding and take him from the Sox.

 

Also, the Sox traded for Schilling about a month before the A-Rod talks happened.

[GettnHuge 2]

this is a terrible interview
