Alex Rodriguez linked to Steroids (2003 test)

[Reality]

Big Frank Thomas though? Really? o.o; I know he's been a pretty good hitter, but he hasn't done much in the last few years has he? I haven't followed it.

Franks best years were in the early-mid 90's, some people forget he broke into the league in 1990, and in his first full MLB season (1991), he put up a line of .318/.453/.553

his body started breaking down in 2004, nearly 15 years after turning Pro, and from 1990-2008, he's only had an OBP lower than .360 three times (Career OBP: .419, Career SLG: .555)

he will be a first ballot, and many compare him to Ted Williams

like Griffey, Thomas never gets the recognition he deserves

Some comparison numbers:

Frank Thomas: Career OPS: .974 (19 years of service)
Ken Griffey, Jr.: Career OPS: .920 (20 years of service)
Alex Rodriguez: Career OPS: .967 (13 years of service)

What hurts Frank's reputation among a lot of people is he was mostly a career DH. He has such a massive frame, it made it difficult for him to even play 1B regularly once he hit his late 20's

Cecil Fielder baby. Man I miss watching the Big Hurt (fitting name in retrospect ) and the Sox GM Kenny Williams going back and forth in the media.

Many lulz.

I don't know what the problem is. This is all just natural selection making your nuts smaller.

Well done. You beat me to it.

Schilling is the epitome of what a troll is. Not to mention he trolls the shit out of WOW forums also quite a bit, seeing as how he is an avid EQ player.

I personally cant stand him, but game recognize game so I cant hate. TROLL ON DAWG.

That's pretty funny how do you guys know it was him and not some random troll that happens to know alot about him?

It does sound like it would be him though lol.

He sent the mods pics of him holding up signs and shit to prove it was him.

I can't stop laughing.

[Mizango]

Curt makes no secret that he does post lol. He has a lot of interviews out there where he mentions his handle on EQ and his names on forums, he says he does it because he "doesn't troll" and doesn't care what people think about a professional athlete that loves MMO's. He used to have them listed also on his website Curtschilling.com when he was in Philly.

He's a douche, but he's a straight shooter lol. Let me find the interview with Fox news and Chris Rose where he shows and talks about his EQ toon and guild..... brb looking.



Edit: Here is Schilling blogging on his site about Alex right lol

I forgot about that one.

Joe Torre's dubbing of 'A-Fraud' is really starting to make sense now.

[chazzyphizzle]

What was Jose's percentage estimate on steroid/HGH users in his book? I'd guess if it isn't at least 75% it's too low.

[Skyylya]

who cares. anybody who's ever played competitive baseball (college or above) and knows anything about steroids will know that they aren't 'that' much of an advantage and baseball is about entertainment so again, who cares.

let them kill themselves, if it's more exciting when i pay 400 bucks to go watch a game with friends/family so be it.

[Headspace]

If baseball is entertainment, I need to seriously think deeply about what entertainment means to me.

[Skyylya]

that very well might be true, but to people who aren't ADD baseball is entertaining.

[Akiyama]

I'm a hardcore baseball fan and even I know that shit is boring 75% of the time. Only gets exciting to me really by time the playoffs roll around. Baseball season is hella long anyway.

[Headspace]

I don't have ADD, but I seriously can't sit there and watch a game on the TV, unless it's in October. If I'm actually there though, it seems far less boring.

[chazzyphizzle]

I thorougly enjoyed watching the Devil Rays this postseason, but yeah lolregularseason.

That's funny because I say the same shit about MLS, NASCAR, Golf, and the NHL.

Different strokes for different folks.

The funny thing about all this is that the other 103 names on that list (102? Bonds is there also) are gonna have to be released eventually. If Ortiz isn't on it then I'm gonna fucking puke.
