OT: MLB Thread

By the way, how was your trip?

It was good, back to work tomorrow ugh. I love Paris even though every museum and hell, every room in a museum has different rules re photos, flash, use of the museum pass which is supposed to allow you to skip lines even Versailles but of course at the Palace you are told that you skip the ticket line but not the silly metal detector security check that took 1.3 hours to get through). Spanish tour was very rushed but hell, I saw a thorn from Christ's crown of thorns, how cool is that. Barcelona is nice, great zoo, was on my first topless beach and loved Count Jr's reaction to the first woman he saw without a top, he stared, then looked at me, started to smile and ran out of the water to me saying she isn't wearing a bra.

I also loved flying home exec class ;)
 
If Montreal is so bad, and you do tell us that often, why do you stay?

My mom, dad and grandparents live here. I also bought a house that I would never be able to sell for what I paid for + renos. I'm too old to start over in another city, maybe later on in life if my parents leave to go to Florida where my brother is. But, I warn any people thinking of moving here not to. Montreal is a nice city to visit, but there are way better opportunities outside of this cesspool of a city. The seperatists can go fk themselves too, when they go on their little marches and have their rallies downtown.

We all make mistakes, but we all don't sign $100 million dollar contracts and win MVP's because of them ...
 
He sounds jealous of Braun's income.

According to baseball-reference DeShields made over 28 million in his career. To me he sounds like another player who is questioning Braun's legitimacy. This is a guy who won and MVP, beat a steroids rap on a technicality, and STILL got nailed for usage again.
 
athletes have always done all they can to gain an edge, poppers for Aaron allegedly, roids now.

Nothing worse than the holier than thou athletes who crap on others for trying to gain an advantage.

If you aren't "cheating", you aren't trying.

MLB has no one to blame but itself for this alleged scandal. During the 1990s it pimped the Popeye vs Me no speekie Eenglis home run chase, had ads like chicks dig the long ball and then the owners gave out 250 million contracts to guys who hit a lot of homeruns.

If you could make 5 million a season clean or 20 million juicing and likely never be caught, it is obvious what 99% of MLB players would do, hell most of the human population would do the same.

Without a doubt MLB is to blame for this mess. As you said, they promoted the ridiculous '98 race. But I don't find the backlash from players (former and current) to be hypocritical. I think there is a difference between "cheating" like spitballs, sign-stealing, etc. and what these guys are doing. I also don't believe that greenies are in the same league as steroids, but that's just my opinion. Greenies got you back after a long night of partying, steroids make you a better player.
 
Found this funny.

Arod is just getting weirder by the day. Now a doctor is saying that he is not injured but I heard that doctor didn't even examine him.
