According to some people at a certain baseball forum, it is ok for the players to use steroids, because the pitchers were probably cheating too.

Thats a good message to send to our kids. Its ok to cheat in sports, because your opponent probably cheats too. Go ahead and cheat on your wife also, as she has probably been unfaithful as well, so its ok.

Oh, and using steroids doesn't give you an advantage anyway, apparently. That must be why so many players use it. Oh the stupidity. :scratch:

Iron i still don't believe it helps all that much, after all you still have to hit that little white ball coming at you 100 mph. But then again the guy throwing the ball might have an advantage because of the roids to help him throw the ball faster. Btw Iron have you noticed you don't see many pitchers using junk pitches to get guys out its all throwing the ball hard now. My fav pitcher has to be Greg Maddux he never threw really hard but his location and changing speeds amazed me. When i played ball i was a pitcher and back then when i was 15/16 i was throwing around 90 with my fastball and had 3 different variations of curve balls which i used as my out pitches. No better feeling then buzzing a guys head with a 0-2 fastball and then coming back with uncle charlie and watch him bail out as the catcher catches the ball over the outside corner. Ahhhhh those were the days.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

you threw 90mph as a 15/16 year old? I'm glad i never played against you! striking out would have been the least of my concerns! i'd be much more worried about pooping when one of those zingers comes a little too close for comfort!

It helps. Or they wouldn't use it.

If the person already has a good eye for the ball, it "helps" them turn what might just be a long fly out into a home run.
Thats why they used.

And steroids work alot better when you're some skinny kid than when you can already hit the ball, I imagine.

I don't know alot about the MLB, so I'm not going to pretent like I know anything, but I can imagine that his A-rod had way more advantage of taking steroids than someone like Bonds, who I happend to see hit his record-setting homerun on TV.

On the other hand, look at Brady. He was some horrible skinny kid at the combine and is pretty great now. With the NFL looking for illegal substances as much as they're doing, I doubt he achieved it by taking steroids.

Thats what i was saying Rock. If you already have a good eye for hitting the ball, your long fly outs suddenly become home runs when you bulk up with roids.
All you have to do is look at early baseball cards of Bonds, McGuire and Sosa, and you can see that they looked "normal" when they started out.......then suddenly all 3 look like "The Incredible Hulk".

lmao I only hit like 3 people when i played and one was on purpose and that was cuz he hit me in the head, so i threw at his head and cracked the batting helmet. Btw i stood 6'2 235 at that age so i was a little intimidating i guess.

But back on subject i'll try and find pics of A-rod before roids and A-Rod after.

I really dont see a huge difference in that side to side picture..when was the left picture taken and when was the right one taken?

He might be a tad bigger but that very well could be cuz of "growing" up..People do get bigger from the time they are a rookie to even 4 years later

    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
