Def agree to the bolded statement, and who's to say they havent taken it though? Not saying they did, but what if someday that list of 100+ players names come out, and one of these names are on it? God forbid that happen, but would your opinion on these guys change if they happen to be on the list? Honestly I could care less, only becuase during that ERA I'd say at least 75% of these guys were juicing one way or another

My faith in all humanity would be shattered if Chipper used.

Oh come on, it wouldnt be that bad, you'll be upset, but will def get over it... But its easy for me to say, as my favorite player is the poster child for roids

I was still playing ball when he first started, and he was seriously one of my "idols". I know he's had a pretty crummy past off the field at times, but he's always been a stand-up guy on the field. And if I ever found out he cheated, I would seriously be devastated.

Granted I've met him multiple times since, this was one of the first times I ever met him, and it was awesome:

and your post kind of goes back to what i said a week ago...that if that list ever gets out and other generations basically discrediting our generation (which you, or someone said will be the case regardless). if you have names like Jeter, Griffey etc... then our generation might as well have been non existent

Great photo bud, must of been awesome to meet him as a kid, I met Bonds a few years ago, and contrary to belief, he was VERY friendly, and even gave me an autographed bat becuase it was my birthday... To top that off, he hit a HR later that game... a day I'll never forget

Bonds is one I've never met, but his dad was nice.

Now, Jose Canseco and Johnny Bench were A-holes.

Pettite only took HGH when he was coming off an arm injury, to heal faster. The dirty little secret is that most pitchers coming off elbow or Tommy John surgery use HGH to shorten the recovery time.

oh i know what happened.... illegal either way though..and thats my point...whether a player takes something to recover from injury...or to become Barry Bonds...i think along the line of a career, something has been taken...whether inadvertent or not

So, do we need Linceum to play tonight or should we just put a (L) and rest up for tomorrow's game? LOL

I was thinking the same thing

Hope he surprises us

Awkward...

Please shut down Strasburg ASAP Washington. It's for the good of your franchise to do so. Wing wink, nudge nudge.

I'd rather them shut down Gio or Zimmerman.

I know Trout has been money, but at least some consideration should be given to Jeter for MVP. He leads the majors in hits, is second in BA, and with all of the injuries to the Yanks they still have the best record in the AL. Granderson has struggled this year, Cano while playing ok hasn't exactly lit it up this year, Tex and Swisher have both missed some time. As for pitching, C.C. has missed starts and Rivera is out for the year. He has truly been our MVP.
