Your immaturity, ignorance and barely average IQ make you unfit to be a mod. The other mods won't say it publicly, but I will... frankly, you're making all the mods on this board look bad.

Really, thats funny. Your mod is the one that ask for me to be a mod. Maybe its because you have looked like a jackass on both boards that you are upset now.

Isn'tit nice to get such "objective" analysis from a Cub dreamer?

Dude, I have read your post from the Bulls board to here. I have never seen someone so wrong on sports and think he is so right. Its laughable.

reyes: .287/.328/ 9 hrs .726 OPS 104 OPS+ 30 SBs 3.1 WAR
Eaton: .300/.362/ 1 hr .763 OPS 117 OPS+ 15 SBs 5.2 WAR

you can keep the extra 8 hrs and 15 SBs. I will gladly take the OBP/OPS and WAR numbers for this part of the lineup.

That is perfectly fine, but still you agree this isnt a new scenario that Melky is hitting in. The Park factors are almost identical and he was protected by a prolific hitter. That was my whole point. This isnt some new scenario where all the sudden Melky is doing something in his career he has never done. I think 10 to 15 homers is his range, but he isnt being paid to hit homeruns.

Tank has moderate trade value at this point. I was hoping the Sox could get a decent reliever and midlevel prospect for him, but that hasn't happened yet. The problem with Tank is he lacks discipline at the plate. Guys who are free swingers rarely make the transition to professional hitter in a reasonable time-frame. Another 3-4 years maybe, but the Sox are in win now mode, and want productive hitters in the lineup; no time for guys who need development.

Alexi adapted and he chased a ton of bad pitches and he was older when he got to the US. Don't forget this. Tank was a very young player when the Sox got him and had to face top pitching right away. That is a tough task for any hitter. The Sox will likely keep him into spring training and see what happens. Alexi came up with a sort of gimmick to cut down his chasing as in catching the bat with his right hand sliding up the barrel. Maybe, Viciedo can come up with his own version.

No idea is not correct, I can give you more than unknown. Now, are we saying will they all succeed at the same time then thats an unknown.



The above is, I think, a submission from a Cubbie fan. Can anyone interpret this? Is he speaking in tongues? Seriously, is this guy disconnected between the ears or what?

The Hawk...I'm sorry but you are wrong...dead wrong

All you have to do is check his homerun ratio thru his career and how consistent it was to know that what I said its true just as Mark himself said

What am I wrong about, Brett? Like I said, I know a lot about Mark McGwire. He played high school ball at a high school that I coached at and I know the coach he played for. Frankly, I think that he is a pretty selfish bum and definitely used steroids to improve his performance not as some kind of injury "treatment" but rather to juice himself up in order to break records just like his roid cheating brothers Sosa and Bonds did. I also knew the Giambi brothers who were also local and a coach who coached them in high school. They were/are scum bags also.

I mean it when I say that I really am disgusted with these cheaters as well as major league baseball owners, managers, and the commissioners office who allowed this crap to take over professional as well as collegiate and even some high school baseball players. It sucks.

So, they are scumbags for securing a future for them and their families by taking roids when, at the time, probably over 80 percent of major leaguers were on the juice. They are scumbags for taking their immense talent and enhancing it to secure more money in a dog eat dog world of sports. Riddle me this, Robin, say you have less then a 20 year span to make all the money you will need in life by playing a sport that make millions and millions off your name. You can sit in the minors or be a sup par player in the majors and make decent money, but surely not enough to live for years after ball. Or, you can even the playing field with 80 percent of baseball and take the roids and make yourself millions upon millions. What would you choose? Steroids helped those players. Steroids didnt make those players. Their talent was great. Bonds probably still would go down as a top 15 player of all time without the roids. McGwire still would have cranked a lot of homeruns. The same with Sammy. They put in the work. They put their blood, sweat, and tears into the game. To call them scumbags is the ultimate arm chair QB. Do you call 90 percent of NFL players scumbags?

They are scumbags for lying about it, and trying to pass themselves off as legit. A cheater is a cheater; people who lack integrity, honor or respect for the rules and the hardworking people who live by them are nothing but frauds.

You are dead wrong on McGwire and I gave you reasons why

So, you believe 80 percent of baseball players during that time period and oh probably around 90 percent of football players are scumbags, right?

Im not sure I would call them scumbags.

I do however feel that baseball as much as it was put back on the map by the moon shots is a better game in the pure.

I dont think we are getting the crazy doping as we did but there are guys taking banned substances for better healing etc.

No need to juice anymore when you have companies with innovative meds (banned) that help endurance and healing faster along with strength but I do not think it has the exact same affect as pure juice like bonds,mac,and sosa.

You really arent seeing the frankensteins anymore.

Brett, I confess that I haven't seen any reasons why you think that I am wrong about McGwire. I'm not trying to be a hard ass just trying to understand where you are coming from?

I provided his home run ratio, his quitting andro when finding out kids might be using it when a reporter spotted it in clear site in his lockerroom as well as his own admission that he used it to heal from his various and frequent injuries.
