What's up with JOBat taunting us?

Sh@t for brains? Sorry but I don't like Baut.

What are you sorry about? You're right.

At least the Tigers are handling Boston tonight.

Brady Anderson says hello.

Brady Anderson was never a scrub. Nor did he have Backne.

The best thing they could do would be to award him a golden sombrero tomorrow. To bad they don't have the pitching to do it.

Theoretically, Garcia seems like the type of pitcher who, on a good day, could totally screw up Bautista. But the stats tell a different story: 7 for 14 with two dingers plus 3 walks and a HBP and only 1 K.

I could make so many inappropriate jokes.

When were they world champs? When Joe Carter was still alive?

Figure of speech. They were paper champs- and fell flat- now they're playing well, and are acting like they are world champs.

I posted this in another thread but no way we let this dbag overtake Nick in the All star game. Get it done people every email address you have lets vote Orange!

Which is why you see dozens of pitchers brought up on charges every year.

Sounds like someone just took Torts. But, it would be more similar to battery than assault, since they probably didn't see it coming.

I remember watching that game when I was a kid. Poor Mitch Williams. Toronto has been the champions more recently than the O's unfortunately.

Nope. Nope. No. You and others who say that simply don't know what you are talking about. Don't believe what writers write. Just shut up about at and talk about what you do know about.

Brady Anderson was never a scrub. Nor did he have Backne.

He hit a combined 11 hr's in the first 4 years he played.

Then 21, then 13, then 12, then 16, then 50

During the height of the steroids era he had a 34 hr jump.

He never hit over 20 again the rest of his career. He wasn't a scrub, but if you can't even admit that year was suspicious than you lose all credibility.

And what about Davey Johnson? He had a 38 home run jump in '73.

[Norfolk orioles]

Also very questionable.

Do you really think it isn't the least but suspicious, knowing what we know now about that ENTIRE era?

[Il BuonO]

So, the argument is Brady magically hits 50 with the help if steroids in 96 but going into his last year with the team before he

hits FA he decides, because he's had a moral renaissance, that he doesn't want to be remembered as a cheat. He does it clean in 97 and only hits 18 forfeiting millions in the process.

You think he wasn't smart enough to realize he could have become as prolific as Bonds if he would have continued down the same path?

Here's a good read if you are really interested.

On a side note, remember when Aubrey Huff did the Joba fist pump repeatedly after hitting a dinger off him? That was an enjoyable moment of the "dark years."
