If they're the Pittsburgh Hornets, they fit perfectly into the black and gold color scheme. Think about it.

Of course they didn't make him able to make contact with any pitch, because I've seen him strike out before. Your hyperbolic claim has no place here. Steroid use will lead to long-term injury, but short-term physical dominance. Being a hulking behemoth in body armor who you can't even pitch inside to, let alone drill a nice 95-mph heater straight into, helps your batting average too. Hits sure are magnified when you don't have any plate appearances counted as at-bats.

The Mets have soured on Sosa a bit lately with BALCO, but consider this: 1)Jim Hendry is a genius of a GM who has worked miracles for building the Cubs, and 2)The Mets are the Mets Me, I'm satisfied with any deal that removes the Dominican albatross off our neck. I don't even want a player in return for Sosa, just take on his contract so we can spend more on getting Beltran. Then you've got a lineup of CF Patterson 2B Walker CF Beltran SS Garciaparra 1B Lee 3B Ramirez C Barrett RF Hollandsworth/Dubois/Someone P Wood/Prior/Zambrano/Maddux/Rusch and that satisfies me. Also, the signing of Todd Walker will prove interesting, as Dusty Baker will likely bench Walker (maybe he killed Dusty's dog? or maybe Dusty is just a shitty manager?) and have Nomar just take care of the whole middle infield.

So, your supporting Max Kellerman's argument that is in essence: "Since other people have cheated in the past and didn't get caught/punished for it, it is therefore unfair to pick on someone who is cheating in the present." Umm.... This is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's like saying, "Since OJ Simpson wasn't convicted of murdering his wife then Scott Peterson shouldn't have been either. A corked bat didn't make Babe Ruth throw harder, run faster, swing harder, withstand injuries better, or be such an intimidating presence that pitchers walked his body-armored ass at every plate appearance in fear of an instant homer. It just took a few negligible ounces of the weight off his baseball bat. To me, there's a huge difference in the two.

A Mike Martz/Bill Belichick-coached Super Bowl was the perfect place to drop an atomic bomb.

Come on, though. Boarding?!?

What did he do to get banned? I don't think he was -iB-, and he didn't really have any bannable offense, unless someone can point it out to me. I mean, the shameless shilling for City Infinity or whatever wasn't THAT annoying

This board has too many Patriots fans.

I'm going to listen to "Walk" now.

How do you call it "boarding" with a straight face.

Don't worry, they'll still lose to the Braves.

So it's kind of appropriate, what with this being a discussion forum and all.

COULDN'T CARE LESS

How long will it take Washington to shit on the Nationals?

I didn't know his contract was up.

Oh by the way, the New Orleans Arena is so empty, it's scary. Move that team now.

GOD I FUCKING HATE THE SONICS! How can the Spurs not beat them. Live by the 3-point line, die by the 3-point line, Sonics. Oh and the Utah Jazz fell off the face of the earth.

I suspect something is up with Omar Minaya and Tony Tavares. The 2004 Expos were as lame duck as you get. All of a sudden they're signing Guillen and Guzman. But they're still owned by MLB.

I'd like a popcorn machine, so I can fake someone right into it.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions until Opening Day.

Neither Philadelphia nor the Yankees appear to have division-winning rotations.

WCW title.

2003 was a really good year for TSM, I think.

Pod People has fantastic host segments. -The Public Domain Karaoke Machine -Idiot Control Now Re-Enactment -Music From Some Guys In Space -Trumpy Re-Enactment good stuff

I thought they shut it down when they fucked up all the lineages and it stopped making sense.
