Digital Dad Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 First the earth cooled. Then the dinosaurs came but they got too big and fat and turned to oil. Then the Arabs came and bought Mercedes Benzes. And then Prince Charles started wearing Lady Diana's clothes.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingAllTheTime Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Harry's favorite player, Sandy Soda? The guy who mysteriously couldn't speak cogent English when grilled about his juicing up?What was McGwire's excuse? The thing about McGwire.... he was the only one of those guys before Congress who didn't commit perjury. He got blasted for not denying his use, yet also not openly admitting it, but everyone else denied juicing.... and they flat lied... and have all now been proven as liars. Who looks better today? And here's my overall thing about the juicing era..... any of us who acts truly outraged is either completely a fool or a hypocrite. If we were at least 15 years old then, we all knew what was going on in the summer of 1998. We didn't admit it, but damn it, we knew. Society was complicit and shares in the guilt. Anything else is nothing more than finger pointing and refusing to accept fault (we could *all* run for Congress, I guess). And all that talk about baseball's integrity? Please. I love, love, *LOVE* baseball, but I also know baseball. It is a game with a set of unwritten rules that define when it is okay to hit another player with the ball. It is a game in which cheating is a known and expected part of the culture. It is a game fundamentally void of integrity. The BBHOF is a sham if the juice guys aren't in (McGwire, Bonds, Clemens, etc.). The steroids may have helped bump overall numbers and recovery time, but it doesn't change the fact they all had tremendous talent to begin with. I say let all the juicers in, but with a big ol' muscle bound asterisk on all their numbers and be done with all the silliness.

So... using the religion and mysticism logic to explain this :smoke: ... if the Cardinals' overall success is a result of a pact with the devil, the Cubs' lack of a World Series in the last 107 years is then the result of God's hatred? :o I mean, if the Cardinals got help from the prince of darkness 11 times, what about they other 96 years when the Cardinals weren't getting the aid of demonic forces? Wouldn't God, at least once, step into that rivalry and help the Cubs get to the Promised Land just to prove a point? Apparently not. In fact, maybe God plopped Steve Bartman in that seat on purpose? :tsk: :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was part of it because I was rooting in a sense for what all those guys were doing. I played the game through a year in college and the game does lack integrity. It's a game to me as to what you can get away with, unlike hockey where I played goaltender. Put them in the Hall with an **** what they may of done or not done and like you said be done with this this nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
