  • The only time I root for the Steelers is when they play the Cowboys.

  • Look out Boston..... the Yankees are sneaking up on you..... just 4 games behind. x}>
  • Yes, Frank is sounding very conservative.
  • Congratulations, HRanna. I went to college in a small Ohio town, There were either corn fields or pig farms within a mile or two any direction. On hot days, the smells were interesting.
  • Q... I'm going to be sick...
  • I almost hate to open this thread because of his photo.
  • I wish Paul couldn't access those sites ever.
  • OK GA Peach, it's your turn.
  • Paul, you better not. Not sure how those photos will affect Joannie.
  • [B]HEY GA, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW????? IT'S BEAUTIFUL HERE IN NY. COME ON UP....[/B]
  • I'll enjoy the drive home with the windows open and a nice breeze flowing through the car. Guess, I just live in the right part of the world.
  • Well, here in southern NY, it is 80 degrees and 56% humidity. Ah... perfect weather.
  • Dry heat, humid heat.... it's all hot. The first time I visited Phoenix 5 years ago, we landed at 8:00PM and the pilot informed us it was 108 degrees. After leaving NY where it was probably low 80s at best and being in an airconditioned plane for …
  • SMace, I agree with you. I'm waiting for a picture.
  • OK, I bet all the guys open this thread.
  • I have no knowledge that what was in those green cans was banned or illegal. My supplier assured me it was perfectly OK to drink, not withstanding the weight gain of approximately 60 lbs.

  • Neither. Just a boring, bland middle aged man.

  • Bonds called Costas a "midget" and said he didn't know jack about baseball. Costas responded, "As anyone can plainly see, I'm 5-6½ and a strapping 150, and unlike some people, I came by all of it naturally," Costas said Thursday in a telephone int…

  • I see Jason Giambi is being a good boy and cooperating so Selig decided not to discipline him even though Giambi has publicly admitted to using banned steroids. But, since he is a Yankee, I can overlook that.

  • And Bob Costas retort to Barry's rudeness was a classic.

  • Good post, Missk. Bottom line, to some people he is a hero and to many others he is a goat. It will be interesting to see how history treats him is say 20 to 40 years. Will he ever have the same standing as Mickey Mantle or Roger Maris? When A-R…

  • A couple times I have heard "reports" of ee's using drugs, they have somehow mysteriously appeared on the next random drug screen. Then I have my objective evidence and follow policy regardless of their position. Bonds probably is guilty, but MLB i…

  • Base hit, Missk. So far everything I've read is based on conjecture, suposition, and opinions. No hard evidence, other than his well documented surliness.

  • Well, I'm far from being a baseball expert. I just find it odd all this antipathy and hatred toward Bonds and the talk about putting an asterisk next to his name in the record books. His employer is condoning his actions and they are getting a fre…

  • In my world, Barry would have been gone a long time ago. But, MLB and specifically the Giants are benefiting from his services so he remains employed. MLB and his employer, the Giants, want him and think they need him regardless of his drug use. …

  • If an employer is lax with policy enforcement, then there will be ee's taking advantage. Human nature. The solution is discipline. Something we talk about often on the forum.
    in Barry Bonds Comment by ray a August 2007
  • There has been speculation about Barry's steroid use, but no proof. Would you condemn an employee based on idle gossip without any substantial proof? Has MLB even tried to perform an investigation like you or I would for our employers? Profession…

  • I think they both struck out. Barry is not the problem. Baseball's policies and nonchallant approach to enforcement are the problems. Until professional sports gets serious about drug enforcement, there will be Barry's who take advantage of the s…

  • Ah... Coffee, you just got a base hit. Bonds may or may not have used substances banned by baseball - he probably did, and he may or may not have had a prescription for them. The bigger issue that I see is how testing is performed and policies admi…

  • Um... Ritaanz, she probably posted while you were writing, but notice Coffee also gave him a degree of hero status. OK, Coffee, you mention technological advances with training. That's true, so we should put an asterisk next to anyone who set a n…
