The Cubs get to the World Series - and get mowed down by the Yankees in 4.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 01:56 PM) Are you from that area? I went to college close to there, and went to school with a ton of people from around there. The next question would be, are you a Yoder, Troyer, Miller, or a Smith? O RLY? Where, Goshen College?

I bought Quentin's page for one year, thanks to those who are donating!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 08:31 PM) ON the bright side, with Dayan's side, no steroid allegations to worry about... You don't think that the Cuban government wouldn't think about dosing their power hitters on their national team?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 08:18 PM) I'm curious. If you were offered a substantial sum of money to kill another human being and you were 99% certain that you would get away with it, would you go through with it? What if that human being was Hitler or Stalin?

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 08:11 PM) And just because something's illegal, doesn't mean there's something wrong with doing it, or if the law's right. i.e. marijuana maybe...?

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 08:10 PM) not enough steroids in him. In 15 years, they might have steroids out there that test like water.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) Is it okay to break it rule if it has no punishment? Would you pay your taxes if it was optional?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 07:56 PM) I plan to cheer loudly. Hopefully, he's not the Yankees' 1B by then.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 07:35 PM) Recreational use of anabolic steroids has been illegal, by federal law, for as long as I can remember. Something that's illegal by law doesn't necessarily need it's own baseball rule governing over it, it's common sense Okay, if it wasn't a rule, you can't find against it. Common sense has nothing to do with a rule. Is it common sense to drink and drive? No. The law calls it illegal, but if the cops never pull anyone over, that's the same as MLB's 2003 PED policy. It's like they gave ARod a secret Breathalyzer but they never arrested him and thus, allowed him to continue D&D-ing. The fact is, his PED usage was never monitored and he was never punished for usage, so how can what he did be illegal in the eyes of MLB or its record books?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 07:17 PM) They're all "illegal," whether or not the CBA had a provision for testing. "Cheating" has nothing to do with the law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraud

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 07:04 PM) um... If only he'd be around to guarantee his prediction. What are your plans for the next 15-20 years while we wait?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 9, 2009 -> 05:36 PM) Bye Bye any chance at the HOF. Now we have you admitting you cheated, we have the statistical evidence you cheated, we have awards you won because of cheating. Go f*** yourself /throws topic grenade, runs. What's worse, a legal (at the time) PED or an illegal recreational drug? If MLB never enforced it, how was it illegal/cheating?

Happy Birthday!

The Cartman sig wasn't mine. It may have been SF1s.

I'd like to propose a sponsorship of Carlos Quentin's page on Baseball Reference by the posters of Soxtalk.com. It's only $35 total for one year and everyone who contributes will have their screenname included in the sponsorship. That's like 3 or 4 bucks a person maybe. If you are interested, post here and I will PM you with details.

My God man, if this was the Middle East, you could just get a harem going.

We're not into destroying anyone's character here. Try not to accuse people without proof, would you?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 10:06 PM) So on Friday night I drove to Harrisburg (about 2 hours away) and I was out with some friends (who are all female, the majority of my friends are female, I don't know why). We had fun and all, but I got hammered, but the one who had agreed to drive us back started drinking too and she was being obnoxious about it (I got in her ass about that later) so I ended up not going home that night. lol not the best thing to do if you don't like your wife being pissed at you. You dog.

Another Quentin note: Any six fans want to contribute $5 in Paypal? http://www.baseball-reference.com/q/quentca01.shtml Your SN and Soxtalk will be featured!

There are some cool Quentin jersey and bat cards for like $5 too.

You can still buy a Quentin rookie or autographed card on eBay semi-cheap. $5 for a rookie, $20 for an autograph. Get them before he wins the MVP in 2009.

Well, I watched an MLB Network program hosted by Costas on Jan 1 or 2. I dunno. Ah ha! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/03/b...w_n_163582.html Freelancing maybe?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 06:14 PM) I didn't realized Shannon Brown was still in the league either. It's easy to forget players on the Bobkats. "my "see" letter isn't working, or the letter between B and D. So I'm using k's and s's to solve the problem for now. Sounds like a Monty Python sketch

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 8, 2009 -> 12:22 PM) what else might I know her from? How is he supposed to know that?
