QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 01:04 PM) Him pleading the 5th is concrete proof, I don't care what anyone says. That's not concrete at all. There were no test results, there were no syringes, there were no photos.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 10:43 AM) That seems to be a good question. So I will add my own questions, if it was OK, why did guys hide it? Why didn't one, just one, come out and say, hey this isn't banned so I'm using steroids? They all hid it. Many hid it from their teammates. That tells me a lot about whether the drug users thought they were doing something wrong or not. A person's answer to that will determined whether they think someone should be held accountable for their drug use. That's still opinion and hearsay. There is no concrete proof.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 28, 2009 -> 12:05 PM) Wait, you're saying that it was Armando Allen that punched Clausen? I'm saying that Blue Gold Hour on the radio hinted at that, yes.

Doubt that they are in it, yeah.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 02:46 PM) It wasn't a sucker punch apparently. ND is trying to spin the story. http://www.southbendtribune.com/article/20...979/1001/Sports QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) i actually went to that CJ's Pub after the USC game last month, that place has some awesome burgers & wings QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 06:19 PM) Either way, its a good thing he didnt end up like Tyler Moeller where his season and possibly career was ruined. I understand Clausen has a rep for talkin alot of s***, but NOBODY should attack a player because they are a player. According to the Blue Gold Hour on a local radio station this morning (which was taped on Monday), Clausen and family were yukkin' it up in the tunnels following the loss to UConn; saying things like, "This is the last time that we'll have to come back to this place!" Apparently some other players overheard this and caught up to him at CJs. Rumor has it that it was RB Armando Allen.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 27, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) I never even thought McGwire's stats were HOF worthy. Yippee for homers, but that is it. See Harmon Killebrew and Willie McCovey.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 27, 2009 -> 11:28 PM) ND only goes like 7 deep this year. No freshmen in the rotation. That's Brey's biggest fault. The team is never deeper than 7 or 8. The bench guys never get any experience or minutes. When they hit the Big East part of the schedule, the big boys tire them out.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 27, 2009 -> 11:46 PM) yesterday I thought a few more of my rock picks would bein the top 10, not anymore. Too many metal heads here. Be surprised. Tomorrow afternoon I'll try a few more.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 27, 2009 -> 10:51 PM) The context for both my previous posts is in the statement I responded to: "The Sox have struggled to find a league average leadoff hitter the last few years" ...and Pods is below average. Why revisit that? Are you "settling"?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 27, 2009 -> 10:35 PM) When you're asked directly if you used and you refuse to give an answer you're not going to get a lot of sympathy. No sympathy = negative bias then, by the writers. You go by stats and drug tests when they played - not years later. If MLB presents a valid positive drug test on McGwire that was taken before he retired, then I could see a reason other than negative public/media opinion to exclude him from the Hall.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 27, 2009 -> 10:46 PM) Compared to what the Sox have had. How many years back should the investigation go for a quantification of this statement?

Vehemently opposed to tomorrow's work schedule.

Firing the old scouting director is one of the best things that KW has done. The Sox finally have a chance to build with their own youth. - That's how the Twins do it.

Raines deserves more respect from the writers. The next closest active guy in SBs to him is 350 away.

I bet Contreras is here because of a recommendation by Iguchi.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Nov 27, 2009 -> 08:58 PM) I got some nice stuff at express, but mostly my first black Friday was a waste of a day, and totally effed my sleep schedule. There's no way that I would go into the UP mall today.

I don't see why McGwire should be penalized by the media if there is no proof of a positive test.

If I had my choice. Blyleven Dawson Smith would be my top 3 Raines Baines McGwire next 3 Alomar Larkin Morris next 3

Would Nix, Vizquel or Retherford be a decent 2B option if this happens?
