1. Hey if you guys are at peace cheating, why the fuck should
I care?

MLB is only giving Ramirez a slap on the wrist with that light sentence.

It just sends a message to Selig's 100-plus million payroll favorites that it's perfectly okay to juice, because if you get caught, you're not going to face much of a penalty.

Totally worth the risk:

Don't get caught, help cushion a W-L record you wouldn't otherwise "enjoy"

Get caught: You still get to keep the asterisk-driven record and you get to come back.

What a disgrace.

2. You felt fine with cheating when Bonds played.
Didn't you?

3. Was Bonds suspended by MLB
Edited on Fri May-22-09 08:24 AM by Upton
for failing a drug test?

What does a fan of the Marlins know about baseball anyway? It's not like anyone there shows up for their games.

Edit: Marlins are 28th in MLB in attendance...maybe they should offer free LandShark beer.

10. Per the evidence code, could you please post or forward me
the document stating Bonds was charged with and suspended with cheating?

Also, could you please post or forward the criminal complaint charging Bonds with a crime, as well as his conviction?

Thanks in advance.

5. The Dodgers first 21 wins
have the stink of PEDs around them. The same Dodger fans who reveled in rumor and speculation surrounding Bonds, now embrace Ramirez (he'll be welcomed back with open arms) who is undeniably dirty.....what hypocrites.

8. I never reveled childishly about Bonds
Edited on Fri May-22-09 11:29 AM by Tektonik
I believe that PEDs are more widespread in baseball than we've ever thought. I would be surprised if there was a team in baseball the past 15 years that hasn't had their handful of cheats.

I know the Dodgers have had Gagne, Sheff and now Manny.

I think the Dodgers wins aren't tainted, and I also think it's silly that A Rod has been untouched in all this.

14. You couldn't pay for this much entertainment
It's too easy with these two. You just wind 'em up and watch 'em go. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt after all. Hey, no one voted to convict OJ, so he obviously didn't murder his wife, right? Only in the world cboyington lives in.

Notice how he didn't even address my topic of how much the Giants suck? I think I need to revise my earlier prediction of the midgets being 15 games out at the all star break. It'll be at least 20 games. I can understand the Tweedledum twins' disappointment. They really thought the Dodgers were a one-man team and would fall apart as soon as Manny was suspended. Imagine the shock when they realized just how loooooooooooooooooong of a season they would be in for.

9. How can the Giants fans dig on Man-Ram and defend Barroid?
I believe the psychological term for this is "cognitive dissonance".
