Now granted Eric Byrnes was on MLBNetwork today railing about how none of the Biogenesis athletes have ever tested positive for PEDs other than Braun. It can't be that can it?

You don't think MLB got all the notes when they

1- Paid for the stolen info

2- Made a deal with Conte?

He's en fuego. Gotta wonder about any of these guys (Cruz, ARod) etc. when they are doing so well. They earned the skepticism.

Sad to say but I was skeptical when he hit 40 bombs for the Orioles. The thing about him is, despite being an admitted user, he's never seemed to exhibit the surly/temperamental attitude that comes with increased testosterone. Therefore people like him, and therefore he isn't criticized as much.

A-Rod hitting a ball 477 feet? Yeah I'm very skeptical of him.

What a disguating thing to say RZNJ. You were skeptical when he hit 40 for the Os? BS and if you were, you know damn well you cheered for everyone of them. And know he's doing it for someone else when most thought he wasn't worth it. Now.he's back to.being accused of this.

Ppl crying about players bring cheated when more than half the players overt the course of the post 20 or 30 years been using.

I.for one am happy for guys like Cruz and Arod. Those two actually fsced disciplined unlike most of the cheats who actually set records and paved the way for these guys but these guys get hammered day in and day out.

I for.one and cheering hard for Cruz and Arod even though he is a yankee, they faced their penalties and still balling when no one gave them any chance "because they are "older"". Wjat a joke.

There are criminals and cheats in the political world that actually have a impact on our lives and ppl are going to dwell on something like this? Move on, its tiring. The more yall want to talk about this and accuse ppl the more it will stick around.

When he was here and winning these games for us he was the man. No he's not and he's back to being acheat. What a f-ing joke!! Sounds like some are starting to be jellly over Nelly!

Get a grip.

There is a big difference between Cruz and A-Rod.

A-Rod is probably the biggest PED cheat there is. Thats no joke either.

That was me that said that, and I did say it during the 2014 season, and I have rooted for Orioles in the past who have used PEDs (see: Brian Roberts). I even support the use of HGH for older players. I don't see how it's disgusting.

I really liked Tejada and Raffy and Meat.

So be it but RZNJ said/implied it as well. And all I'm saying whether it's you or someone else, if you cheered for him then you can't bash or critisize a guy for doing something you might have a lack of respect for. I'm sure you cheered for Cruz and was happy he was a O last year and if that's the case how can you still bad mouth him. Can't have it both ways.

Fair enough. I haven't been bad-mouthing him. Wish him the best.

      Markakis being inducted into Os HOF

      No one would use the word "underachieve" to describe someone who didn't meet expectations due to injuries or circumstances beyond their control. Like that's just not what that word means in normal usage.  But technically, sure, Tiger Woods achieved less than was expected of him. Lol.

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      This is a different team. Corbin Burnes would have made a difference IMO and we have now acquired him.  I am not dogmatic in believing that it has to be Miller and nothing/nobody else. I am saying that there is a serious argument to be made that Miller or another elite backend bullpen weapon is the piece to take us over the top when the Fall get's here. With a team this good who has legit WS aspirations with a strong argument to be made that we have the best team in the AL, I would hate for us to pin our WS hopes on a pitcher like Craig Kimbrel at this point in his career. IMO he is not good/reliable enough. If we have to get into a game (in October) where it turns into a battle of the bullpens, I would prefer not to have bring a knife to a gun fight.

      I appreciate this deep cut non-#10 Tejada.

      LOL.  Technically, he underachieved because of injury but I think most people equate underachiever with a lack of effort.

      I'm not sure if there are any hunters here, but it can be a pretty demanding full-body workout. I suspect Markakis wasn't sitting in a tree stand. I walk miles in rough terrain, good times.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I understand your argument, but I think your word choice of "underachieved" isn't helping. When it comes to a guy like Tiger, it's hard to call that guy an underachiever, especially when his work ethic is known and undeniable.  The guy can barely walk and he's still out there trying...that's not an underachiever. Underachieving, IMO (and I think what a lot of people think of when they hear the word) is when someone doesn't live up to to their potential, or work hard to maximize their potential...outside of being injured.   Plenty of things can de-rail a career, I don't think that means that individual is an underachiever.  I don't think Griffey is an underachiever, I don't think Trout is, either.  I just think they haven't had the careers they might have had if they were able to stay healthy. When debating these things, it's helpful to have a definition of which to work with.  So while I agree with you that guys like Tiger, Trout, Griffey and others haven't had the careers they were supposed to have, that doesn't mean they were underachievers.  They just got de-railed...now some of that was their own doing, some of that is just the tolls of playing their sports.

      Well deserved. I would have liked to have seen him finish his whole career Baltimore, but mostly have seen him be able to play in the 2012 playoffs. I also appreciate that because of him I know what a kinkajou is.
