The 2009 Major League Baseball Thread

^^^^Ha ha ha.

But i guess the yankees had Petitte, so I take back the yankees part of my comment.

[Klout]

hahahaha...way to cheat your way to a championship redsux fans

[Drew_Kingsley]

At least the Yankees weren\'t cheating when they won their titles

You mean the championship teams with Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte on them?

EDIT: Guess you already owned up to this part... that\'s what I get for posting before I finish reading the thread.

Every team is dirty.  Every single team.  

I am enjoying this so much today because for so long Red Sox fans dared to assert their team was clean.  They dared to put stock in the sham that was the Mitchell report, and now the 2 biggest bats from the glory years have come up filthy.  

Jackass that he is, Canseco is right.  Everybody is doing it. More are on something than are clean.  It\'s pro sports these days folks.  For any fan to assert their guy is 100% clean is naive to the point of slap worthy stupidity.  

Baseball is catching up to the NFL.

I\'m with ya, it\'s everywhere, just few get caught. And as a die hard sox fan, I never thought they were 100% clean. They might be now tho, because it\'s obvious that ortiz stopped using, and I can\'t think of another player who looks like he is.

[Drew_Kingsley]

The most that any fan of any team can hope for is that their secretly juiced player isn\'t a big name (i.e. Manny, Bonds, A-Rod).

[ChrisPitch]

Manny and A-Rod sittin\' in a tree. C-H-E-A-T-I-N-G.

[Spacey]

This just furthers my outrageous opinion that Jose Canseco ruined baseball.

Next it\'ll be the umps.

[Yoda]

Manny is now claiming that it\'s a sexual enhancement drug...

[tyzack]

I love how they mention "medication for a very personal issue"

[skalnbyc]

"performance enhancers" or not, Manny is a douchebag.  I love it how all The Red Sox fans loved him until the day he left, as if defecting to another club is the real reason he\'s an asshole.

[Spacey]

at least it wasn\'t in a Red Sox uniform.

[Yoda]

at least he wasn\'t caught using roids in a Red Sox uniform.

Fixed

And Clemens.  And we know for a fact that Giambi hit two steroid-aided home runs in game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.  But so what.  All is fair.  Every team has had plenty of roid guys.  It\'s been an equal-opportunity roiding league.  Every team\'s accomplishments are all the same.  It\'s not as if only the teams that made the postseason had steroid guys.  Everyone did.  There\'s a list out there of at least 108 more confirmed guys and they weren\'t just on 3 or 4 teams, that\'s for sure.  You look pretty foolish if you discredit the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Marlins, the Angels, or any other team team that won in the steroid era, because everyone had guys on roids and they beat other guys on roids.  

I think it\'s hilarous that Manny got suspended not for steroids, but for a female fertility drug.  I bet every member of Of Montreal is on the same stuff as Manny. D\'oh!  Oh, and to Ortiz\' credit, he\'s obviously quit :lol:
