if Maris was juiced, his record would have been 90*, not 61*. On another topic since it's my personal thread, keep up the fight, Mukwonago Area School District! http://host.madison....7b701474c2.html

Oh, yes, let's please continue the trend of logos and nicknames the emit zero emotion. Welcome to the People's Republic of North Dakota. I applaud the 8 members of the school board for this particular vote in Wisconsin a couple of days ago... http://host.madison.com/news/state-and-regional/wis-school-district-votes-against-changing-mascot/article_66afb5c2-e7f0-50f2-bf5a-e07b701474c2.html

Seriously? Let the players juice and then build 300 foot fenced parks? Are you kidding me? Roger Maris must be rolling over in his grave.

What girls see in this doofus, I have no idea...

Nobody cares. Barry Bonds is still loved in San Francisco despite what everyone knows. And MLB and the players union pretend to be putting the hammer down now on cheaters...had the Biogenesis information been given to MLB officials instead of the Miami press, MLB would still be sitting on the information. Hell, even Mark McGuire is back in the game. Post 6,000. Yay me.

They also ate at McDonalds, smoked like chimneys, and drank like fish too. I'd hardly say doing a line of cocaine made anyone a better baseball player, unlike the substances Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa were using. Like I stated earlier, if players refused to play with dopers and teams didn't sign dopers, doping would end. Melky Cabrera gets 86'd by the Giants last year but the Blue Jays had no problem immediately dishing out $8 million a season for two years worth of his services. Why?

I think it needs to start with players refusing to play with teammates who juice. Too often, these bums are welcome back with open arms once their suspension is up.

Not a full list or even close, but some very good shots of some old-school jerseys in the media guide... http://www.undsports.com/pdf8/974516.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=13500

Considering the guy's running on fumes anyways, this won't hurt him too much.

In defense of fans at REA, this happens at the X too. Love that.

I was trying to reference the Steve Martin line in "My Blue Heaven" but it didn't quite come thru right...

Capisco.

Ha! A friend of mine mentioned that to me just this morning! Unbelievable. Lifetime ban. The boot. Banished from Major League Baseball forever. That'll get everyone's attention.

A minus 41 on the ice in his last three seasons. Yes, minus 41.

And, yes, A) in the middle of a two-on-one or three-on-two breakaway, please be sure to STAND UP and leave the middle of the section so you can go grab your next beer or B) in the middle of a two-on-one or three-on-two breakaway, please disrupt the entire row by trying to sprint back to your seat or, better yet, be sure to stand in front of me and stop to watch and see what happens. Bonus points if your beer is spilled on me while doing so.

Can we throw in a "Whoomp! There it is!" every once in a while though? JUST KIDDING!

Fixed the last part of your post... Fans, the big screen is flashing 'CLAP YOUR HANDS' so please clap your hands. Fans, we're down a goal with 1:00 to play, so it's time to stand up and shout like the big screen is telling you. Fans, please jump up and go crazy over a crappy t-shirt that's three sizes too small for you to be launched into your vicinity so you can maybe catch it. Lemmings...things were sooooo non-corporate at the old REA. I miss that. These days, it's 'Kiss-Cam sponsored by Match.com' and 'Here comes your Subway Power Play brought to you by Wal-Mart sponsored by Red Lobster.' I know I'm an old fuddie-duddie. Flame away.

Really, Ryan Braun, that's the BEST you've got? Shoeless Joe Jackson must be turning over in his grave wondering how he can still be serving a lifetime ban while you're getting off with taking the rest of a sub -.500 season off. You're a disgrace to baseball and you should have been suspended two years ago. To you, I say, it's about time you got suspended - we ALL knew! In other news, I'm glad our news media is so swamped with coverage of England's new prince that they can't report this... http://fox13now.com/...sive-jailbreak/ On the plus side, I'm sure our administration has it all under control...

You tryin' ta say 'capece'? Well don't cuz it hurts my eee-azz.

I'd be more pissed about losing Anna Kournikova to Enrique Iglesias than I would be over JR leaving Russia but that's just me...

If you don't want people walking on 'sacred' floor logos, here's a hint...STOP PUTTING THEM ON YOUR FLOOR!

The Devils are on the hook to the tune of a $250,000 salary cap hit for each of the next twelve seasons of Kovalchuk's contract. Ouch.

Right! I'm sure it wasn't Ilya's idea to try to swing a deal that circumvented the league salary cap.

I don't see Jeremy blasting the New York Islanders for buying out Rick DiPietro's contract, do you? Nobody's faulting the Islanders for dumping a guy who's an injury waiting to happen. He didn't hold a gun to management's head and ask for that ridiculous deal, did he? Sounds reasonable to me...
