I've heard at least one person is DOA, and there's rumors of multiple shooters. Hopefully the report that the shooter took their own life is accurate.

QUOTE(lvjeremylv @ Feb 13, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) I know, lol. That's because I seem to be the only one who thinks it's POSSIBLE. I'm kind of being forced to play devil's advocate, which I don't mind doing, but in doing so it seems like I'm convinced that something was going on. I'm not, but I wish I could know for sure. If anything, I have more pride in the fact the Sox were the first team to win it after the steroid testing went into place. They were probably the cleanest team in decades to win it all.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 13, 2008 -> 06:05 PM) Say, has anybody noticed Frank hasn't been up the same type of numbers within the last few years compared to his early 90's days? Maybe he got off the junk when they started cracking down. Good season = on something. Good grief. Pods must have started juicing before the playoffs that year...it's the only way to explain his 2 homers during the postseason.

QUOTE(lvjeremylv @ Feb 13, 2008 -> 05:52 PM) A season long hot streak? For so many pitchers on the same team? I don't know about that. And if you think that there weren't any players still taking steroids in 2005 you are sadly mistaken. Rafael Palmeiro, who wagged his finger at the world while under oath before congress, tested positive, and he was basically at the tail end of his career. If he was still using after denying it so strongly, then anyone could have been using. I can see a player using it for a short time, getting a desired result, and then quitting. The payday for having a career year is millions of dollars, which would be very tempting for an underachieving player nearing the end of his playing days. One final payday is alluring. And Raffy tested positive! Thanks for proving my point. I'm sure we could all speculate on players we think were on PEDs then and now. However, it's absolutely pointless at this time. Who cares...we beat three teams in the playoffs that had some of the most suspicious possible juicers on their teams in all of baseball, including Clemens and Pettitte.

I think the only thing they were on was a hot streak. Since there was steroid testing in 2005, that would mean they would have had to be on HGH. I highly doubt they would have stopped using it then in 2006, when these guys sucked.

Brian Randle is absolutely the dumbest player I've ever seen.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Feb 13, 2008 -> 03:00 AM) i know folks here dont follow SEC ball too much, but my commodores are absolutely mopping the floor with a Kentucky team who was pretty hot coming in.....41-11 at the half....Kentuckys fewest points scored in a half since the shot clock, previous low was 16 Foster's playing a great game...he's one of the top 3 shooting guards in the country.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 13, 2008 -> 01:53 AM) seriously, ExaggerationSPN. So far, Hummel is the best freshman in the big ten, Izzo is a legendary coach based on how great he b****es to the refs, this is the best game that has been on TV all season. I'm not so sure Hummel hasn't been the best overall frosh during Big 10 play this year.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 04:39 AM) pooper scooper, ku needs to get tougher on the boards. I thought that was close to a 10 second call at the end of the game....i jumped up and twisted my freakin ankle. Sherron Collins just doesn't impress me. Kansas has 4 guys in Chalmers, Rush, Arthur, and Jackson who are playing at a high level. Heck, Kaun's impressed the hell out of me lately.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 04:30 AM) Maybe I am the only one that sees it, but when watching that highlight, I saw the foul and had no problem with the call. The problem is, a human cannot react as quickly as tenths of seconds on a clock so the call comes in later. And if that's not enough, any team wearing those ugly assed pink uniforms, regardless of how good their cause is, SHOULD get screwed. UGH I hate the Rutgers coach, so I'm happy they got screwed.

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 01:29 AM) http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=1572460 Yeah. You ever notice how many ex-/present Angels are injury-prone? Edmonds, Erstad, Anderson, Glaus, Donnelly, McPherson... Yep, and two of them are known steroid users, and Edmonds is someone that has always been very suspicious.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 02:20 AM) Nah, you know that annual thread will pop up in a few weeks as well. As will the comments in the paper that "X" pitcher is focusing on their location.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 04:17 AM) Bruce Weber was on hand to watch Jereme Richmond disappear in the 4th quarter as Waukegan lost to Evanston 45-32. Richmond right now would fit in with Illinois. Can't hit a jumper and is 50% from the free throw line. Also loves yelling at his teammates and coach. I've heard a lot of concerning comments made regarding his attitude this season.

How can you not put the ball in Gordon's hands there and tell him to win it for you? Good thing I hate both these teams.

Ellis just can't finish if he's not on the left side.

Great ending in the Pitt game.

This is so not a big deal.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 1, 2008 -> 02:51 AM) i find these comments hilarious. honestly i dont think howard has done anything. yeah he's a good recruiting tool, but i think its more that weber has been recruiting and offering scholarships much earlier. Instead of hoping a senior commits, he's basically offering 2-3 so's and jr's schollies and telling them the first to commit gets to play at Illinois. Also, whats this commit mean for Young? I really liked what I saw from him. Do we still have a scholarship for him? Howard has connections that Weber could only dream of.

Rumor that Eric Gordon's out for the year with a broken wrist.

Dominic James with one of the uglier performances I've ever seen tonight.

Anyone know where I can see video of Cena from last night?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 28, 2008 -> 02:55 AM) I know you love to give all the credit in the world to the Cubs, but Lilly had NEVER pitched 200 innings before last season, and his ERA was more than a half run less than his career average(granted, the NL Central will do that to a lot of pitchers.) The Cubs are lucky to be in the tallest midget competition they call the Central. I think Z will have a better season than last, but there is NO WAY Marmol repeats what he did last season. I still think he will have a fantastic 08, but either way, there will still be some regression. I hate Ted Lilly....but he's still a solid starting pitcher. Jason Marquis is laughable, but I just didn't understand the Lilly hate. He'd easily be our #3.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 28, 2008 -> 02:47 AM) Ha Ha North Side. Have fun with Lilly and Marquis. What's wrong with Lilly? He's one of the top 25 starters in the NL.

I'm just thankful Bedard's not going to the Cubs.

I remember at the beginning of the 2005 season, Boers and Bernstein had KW on the radio. They go "I didn't know bone marrow edema in the knee caused your forearms to get significantly smaller". They were implying Ordonez was now off steroids, and KW laughed and said they better change the subject.
