Did you seriously compare Rolen, and Jim Edmonds to Albert Pujols? That's just funny.

You don't think a team would give up all it can to retain what will be the greatest baseball player ever?
:nope:

I think he was a 'roider...even though there isn't a test out there that we know to prove it.

Oh, and I'm not a Cub fan.

Pujols isn't going to be a Cub. He more than likely did roids. And he is without a doubt at the end of his career going to be the best baseball player ever.

I think he will be STL also but what if he does become FA. Really what teams could afford him that dont have 1B?...NYY got Tex...BOS has A-GONE....NYM have IKE (who NYM fans think he walks on water) LAD...maybe...LAA Morales (i guess they could put him at DH and Pujols at 1B)....CHC would be the best market for him. Do i think it will happen HELL NO. Sad thing is if it does happen he prolly would break down in 2-3 years with the Cubs and we sux for the next 10 years lol

Ruth was a target for gamblers and was involved in getting the 1918 Cubs to throw the World Series (that he barely played in, for multiple reasons BTW) (read the book "The Original Curse", has some really good and convincing evidence), Pujols is/was a roider (but of course Cardinals fans think he's so clean).

Both had flaws with following the rules, but for now, Ruth is better.

Babe Ruth>Albert Pujols

Although i agree Pujols isn't the greatest player ever, and wont be, Ruth over all has the hitting numbers and the pitching numbers to be the best OVERALL player ever.

But, best hitters ever, thats a different story. lets not forget about Ty Cobb, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays and the such

Therefore best overall player Babe Ruth, but not best hitter ever nor is Pujols

Just because a player cheats, doesn't mean he should be banned or anything. (I really hate that Rose isn't in the HOF). It just means you are doing everything you can to be the best. I don't see anything wrong with that. While it may be immoral, it's how the world works.

No proof so quit talking out your ass AGAIN. :rolleyes:

That's why I said more than likely... because I have no proof. Pure speculation. But, since about every player did, it's not unreasonable to think he did too.

What? :rolleyes:

Comparing Pete Rose gambling and a player using PEDS to cheat in the game is one of the dumbest comparisons I have ever heard.

Seeing nothing wrong with cheating? wow, way to go!!

Because there is no proof there should be no speculation, he hasnt been mention on ANY of the reports therefore more than likely he hasn't used Steroids
