Just Manny Being A Cheater

So Man Ram is on the juice? Suprisig but not entirely unpredictable. Quite frankly, I didn't think Manny cared enough about baseball to cheat. There is a law of diminishing returns to the whole steroid era in baseball. The more and more I hear about players who are using roids the less and less I care.

I have come to the realization that more than likely everyone is using them. In stead of being shocked at the guys who ARE using them I am shocked that there are some guys who ARE NOT using them

What the hell are these guys thinking? If I were some of these journeymen MLB'ers I would be taking enough roids to revive Barbaro. If they don't get caught they can stay in the league longer and make more money. If they get cut their mediocre career is probably finished. To me it's worth the gamble.

I am dreading the day this garbage enters the NHL. Major League Baseball is a complete joke. No records, accomplishments, milestones, and championships can be looked at with out a big fat *!

Major League Baseball to me is more on par these days with professional wrestling. It is entertainmet. That is it. I don't know what is real, who is or isnt cheating, and I sure as heck don't know how things like roids effect the outcome of the games.

Back in 2007, who would have thought steroids would have reached this level?


Great clip about just how dishonest the ENTIRE game of baseball just may be


Bob Costas is pissed!!

Larry Quinn claimed today on the radio that the Hamilton/Southern Ontraio area makes up 25% of the teams market. Maybe if the Sabres could make the playoffs consistently and not alientate their fanbase with awful offseason moves they wouldn't have to go North of the border

UB Football lost a few schloarships for not having good enough grades as a team. Really? If their grades are bad they must all be a bunch of miscreants. They do realize they play for UB?! Those kids should be studyig because no matter how much a a "feel good story" that team is they have 9-5's in their new future!

The Bisons one a game today! That makes 3 all season. Good job Herd! Keep it up! You guys are on pace for 15 wins all season

A Rod Has Man Boobs...Confirm'd

So A Rod is a bigger scumbag then anyone could have thought? Who really cares. I have long resigned myself to the fact that the majority of MLB'ers are cheating in some form. Whether it is scuffing the ball, corking the bat, roids, greenies, stealing signs, yelling "ha" during a pop up, etc etc, it is all the same crap.

Major League Baseball, is as American as the consitution. Ironically enough the same problems that have plagued this country in recent years have trickled down (or up) to MLB.

On Wall Street everyone was cheating the system and doing just enough not to get caught. However, when the gig is up the bottom falls out pretty quickly. MLB was once one of the cornerstones of our culture. It was America's past time. Now it is just a joke. A mess of a league filled with more likely a high proportion of cheaters than guys who are playing it by the rules.

Just like in "real life" the damage has already been done. No ammount of appologies, firings, suspensions, bailouts, or new strategies can unring the bell and reverse the damage.

If A(cup) Rod is cheating to get better then what the hell kind of things are happening on the Brewers or in AA/AAA baseball. If Joe Blow on the Louisville Bats (AAA) see's a guy like A Rod's lifestlye you better damn well believe he is popping whatever he can find into his veins to try and get better.

Baseball is a game of feet and inches. Fifteen feet in left field seperate a 50 home run a year guy and shlep rock who hits %.150. Inches seperate and bat speed seperate a number two hitter and a guy who is 40 and playing AA ball in Topeka.

If you had the chance to make millions and millions of dollars and knew there was a way you could bolster your liklihood of getting that money, damn straight you are going to cheat!

The scary thing is the fact that A(cup) Rod was considered to be a guy who was "clean". If a guy who is clean is up to all this crap imagine what the guys who are "dirty" are involved in.
