Ewing6, a lot of people assume Barry Bonds did steroids, which I'm not sure if he did, but if he did, let's assume that it added 200 home runs to his total. I'm just choosing a random number here. So he will need five more seasons of 40 home runs to make up those home runs again, but looking out on the free agent market, if a guy like Jermaine Dye can't get a job, then I don't see a team giving Barry Bonds a chance. He hasn't played in a few years, so he would probably need an extra couple of weeks or so to get ready. Maybe the Red Sox, who I mentioned above, if David Ortiz doesn't start hitting soon.Quote:

Then he'll get a little closer to those magic numbers.
Mr. Joe Morgan, who have you recently seen play in real life for the MLB (past year)? Also, if you've seen Brian Fuentes play, can you tell me how much he sucks?
Joe,
what are you thoughts on the bizket overlord's knowledge of baseball
Hi John, I've seen quite a few teams over the past year, but they all blend together. What I do know is that fundamentally, the best teams I saw generally scored more runs than their opponents, and in the end, those are the teams that are going to make it in the playoffs. As for Brian Fuentes, I haven't seen him pitch, but supposedly he's actually right-handed and lost a bet at the beginning of his career and was forced to pitch left-handed. You don't want to know what would have happened if he won the bet.Quote:

It's difficult to keep up with this nonsense, because every year they come up with 3 or 4 new formulas to try to leave the best of us out of the game. Don't get caught up into this trap, ewing6. Your eyes will tell you everything you need to know! Unless you start losing your sight or go blind. I don't know what to tell you in that case. I suppose you could ask somebody else what's going on.Quote:

Relating to this answer Joe, how does it feel now that ESPN has brought Orel Hershiser into the Sunday night booth? It must be a bit disappointing for you, seeing as how you were looking forward to flying solo a couple of years ago...Bit of a slap in the face for ESPN's number 1 colour commentator wouldn't you say? I mean he's not even a HoFer for cryin' out loud!Quote:

It's interesting that they are only focusing on "unnecessary deaths". Could you please tell me what constitutes a "necessary" death among athletes?
