Even when they don't use the DH and have to bore their fans.

Remember, in Sept of 2010, Brian Sabean basically accused the Rockies of cheating when he asked the league office to look into the way Colo used their humidor. As a result, changes were made in the chain of custody as it relates to the way the balls get from the humidor to the plate umpire. Since that time...a full 2011 season and 2 months into 2012, the Rockies have gone 47-56 at home, a place that used to be a virtual fortress for them..

At the time, most fans just figured Sabean's move was some kind of gamesmanship, but the Rockies suddenly turning into a less than .500 team at home lends credence to those who suggest maybe there really was something going on with the humidor..

but I just go where the evidence takes me. And right now, it's mighty hard to explain how the Rockies went from having possibly the most significant home advantage in MLB, to a less than 500 team there in just the time since Sabean's complaint..

We used to show you and you're sidekick Cboy evidence regarding Mr. Bonds amazing rise in batting statistics as proof he was juicing but you wanted none of it.

quite awhile ago in fact.

Just as a reminder: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=215x158396#158467

And that post represents exactly how I feel today..

You can continue to go on and on about this or that until the cows come home. I really don't care, I find you highly entertaining, but at least try to keep up to date. Thank you..

Edit: I've noticed your reading comprehension skills seem at times to be lacking. Though I have my suspicions, I can't claim for a certainty whether it's intentional or not...just in case, here's another post from the same thread clarifying what is now my current position on Bonds..
