Schilling is done

[ski9]

What's the deal with grown men running around in their fave athletes jerseys like high school girls wearing their boyfriends jerseys on game day? Sure seems gay.

Moe, are you trying to change the subject? Or are you suggesting all high school girls are juiced? You might be on to something. What percentage of teen girls have STD's?

Pro athletes from other sports where them to show respect. At one time, after a game, they would exchange jerseys.

For the record, nowadays, I have more fun busting on yankee trolls than following pro sports.

Just lobbing a grenade into the crowd, I always get a kick outta sports fans that are so hardcore about it. As far as the STD stat, I dunno, I only got it twice between high school and college and I retooled my share of teens and coeds . Fortunately, back then, a week's dose of tetracycline cleared you up quick. And we didn't have all these creepy and deadly diseases like today. I read that 20% of NYC residents have genital herpes.

Now you got me thinking about my summers in Seaside Heights and Lavalette.......Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!! I might have to go hunt down the wife.

I love it people act like steroids are some kind of magic pill. You still have to put the hours in the weight room. You still need to hit the ball .. You still need to catch the ball.. You still need to make the pitch .. how about keeping religion out of sports and we will keep sports out of church... What's next vitamins?

Roids help out in recovery, which is important after pitching a game. For hitting, yes you need the eye to ball coordination but the roids help in getting that extra power. Look at Ortiz last year, he had the nagging leg injury, he made good contact when hitting the ball but most balls fell short of being a home run by 20 to 30 feet. Getting that extra power can be the difference between a long out versus a home run.

Firstly, yes, Petitte and Giambi are on a higher moral ground because they admitted steroid use and apologized to their fans.

They only did so because THEY GOT CAUGHT. What part of that do you not understand? Did I miss something? Did Schilling get caught and refuse to own up like your alter boy pitcher and first baseman? Exactly what facts do you have on Schilling? Are you his doctor? How do you know the bloody sock was fake? Where's the proof? Is it because your biased sports radio talk show host said so?

Look, you make a lot of good points about steroid use, but using this scandal as a spring board to throw the Red Sox organization under the bus and point them out as the biggest culprits in this scandal and more guilty than the rest of the league makes you look foolish.

Don't like Schilling? Fine, I don't either. Don't like Steroids? Fine I don't either. Don't like the Red Sox? Perfectly understood as my blood hatred for the Yankees organization is unrivaled. Sounding off like you are and calling Schilling a liar with zero proof in fact behind your claims is downright retarded though.

And why is the Yankee 96 championship more valid than the 07 Red Sox championship. At least the 07 championship occurred when testing actually existed. If there's a difference; well, pardon my BMI science ignorance :roll:

BTW...

Chicago March 11, 2008 – A CDC study released today estimates that one in four (26 percent) young women between the ages of 14 and 19 in the United States – or 3.2 million teenage girls – is infected with at least one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis). The study, presented today at the 2008 National STD Prevention Conference, is the first to examine the combined national prevalence of common STDs among adolescent women in the United States, and provides the clearest picture to date of the overall STD burden in adolescent women.

Yep, you're a die hard yanks fans who's team got outmaneuvered on the dice k deal, has nothing left in the farm system and has payed close to billion dollar in the past decade for rubber arm pitching and juice up has been.

Go Sox!

Dunno 'bout "outmaneuvered".....The Sox outmanuevered themselves, pretty much. No one else was within 15-20 million of the Sox's $51 million posting bid. Last year, the Sox paid almost $60 million for a slightly better than league average pitcher. This year, Dice-K has been better, though his recent injury is worrisome and his last "performance" of an inning + was miserable. It'll be interesting to see how/if he bounces back this year.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to have him, why not? But, he's no savior, and he's not a dominant pitcher.

Speaking of being outmaneuvered.....Dare I bring up A-Rod in '04? LOL.

Go Yanks!

Yikes. In my day, non specific urithritis was as bad as it got. Ahh, the good ol' days.

Silent bidding process, the rumor mill claims the mets bid was 39-40 million. Was Dice K worth it? He was a decent number two for most of last year and a serviceable number three when his arm was wearing down but the bottom line they won the championship.

BTW: Last season, the yanks payed Clemens 18.5 million for one season to take them into 6 to 7 innings. Pretty close to what dice k was doing.

BTW#2: Some say that the silent bidding process spook the yankee organization into overbidding on Igawa on the following month. The yanks bid 25 million for basically a minor pitcher. It's this point along with the championship that the yanks got outmaneuvered.

BTW#3: Even if dice k becomes a solid number three, its worth it. Remember Kevin Brown, the yanks had to eat up about 14 million for for two to three years of basically no pitching. Pavano, 10 million (for 4 yrs) with no production. Giambi, 17 million (for 7 years), now coming off his roid cycle

BTW#4: We can hijack the thread and talk about how the Sox inflated the deal on Satana to prevent the Yanks from getting him.

04 was great too, how did it work out for the yanks, only team to loose when leading 3-0.
A-rod "slapping on the ball" gave the sox the edge.
