Only the Russians and Chinese, huh? Seems legit. ?

You might also meet some medical staff from the Russian Olympic team that will tell you they're legit. That doesn't mean they're being honest. This reminds me of when MMA fans thought Vitor Belfort and Jon Jones were legit. If there's one thing the last 30ish years of sports has taught us is that extreme statistical outliers are almost always doping. If it seems to good to be true...

Hold on, you think Serena Williams is legit? Okay, that's just batshit crazy.

Right. Both hormones that are abused for the same purposes. You know what I mean.

Any examples?

You're welcome.

If you want to believe a 28 year old man with the genetics to be an elite athlete needs HGH, that's on you. The numbers alone tell you he's most likely cheating, couple that with his physique and all the rumors, and well, the dudes on the juice. He's probably not running juice like Altuve, but that boy ain't natty, that's for damn sure.

You're making an absolute declaration without any evidence, and you're telling me I have "literally no idea what I'm talking about." Newflash: Neither do you. We're both speculating. It's also really easy to get a doctor to prescribe you HGH.

Yeah, this young man doesn't produce enough testosterone. https://images.app.goo.gl/4kZRVBpYNaL23zuZ9

You keep saying this and I keep reminding you that people are beating the tests in just about every sport. Boxing, MMA, NFL, Cycling, all the Olympic sports. Testers adapt to dopers, not the other way around.

Anybody who thinks Trout isn't on PEDs is incredibly naive. I've been saying it for years. It's pretty obvious.

Exactly what are you looking for?

The baseball fraternity is unforgiving. Bonds is easily the best player to ever play the game. It's not even close. He might not ever make the HOF. They don't take cheating lightly. As Sox fans, we should know this.

The Sox can't beat the Yankees in future because they've never played them in the past? What kind of logic is that?

I was also in my early 20's. I broke my leg badly in February and had to move back in with my folks after surgery. I was in a cast until November and my leg will never be the same. I did get to watch literally every game of that season though, so it was probably worth it.

A New Hope - 9 The Empire Strikes Back - 11 (Spinal Tap rating system) Return of the Jedi - 7 The Phantom Menace - 3 (John Williams score bumps it from a 1 to 3) Attack of the Clones - 1 (seriously a ridiculously bad movie) Revenge of the Sith - 5 (gets too much credit for not being as bad as the other PT movies. Not actually a good movie though. It's a mess for many reasons) The Force Awakens - 5 (Fuck you Kathleen Kennedy) The Last Jedi - 3 (Fuck you Rian Johnson. Fantastic production though) Rise of Skywalker - tbd (Fuck you Disney) Rogue One - 7 Solo - 5 (a well made, cookie cutter heist movie that wasn't clever in any way) The Mandalorian - 7 (It's fun, well made and a step in the right direction, but there isn't much there story wise and a couple of the episodes are just dumb)

Uhhh...

How in the hell would you ever go about regulating the motivations of business owners? Also, being a fan is 100% voluntary. Your investment in sports is of your own doing. Owners owe you nothing.

I think there's a few things going on. Some of the older fans were never going to like an outspoken, and often arrogant, black man telling them how it is. Some of the younger fans just can't conceptualize how real the feeling that the Sox might never win one was, and they take it for granted.

If you would have told me Sox fans would have so much contempt for the GM that finally built a world series winner, I wouldn't have believed you.

When the hall is full of great hitters who were poor defenders, it doesn't seem right to not include all time elite defenders who were adequate hitters. If the metrics say he wasn't an all time defender, they're stupid metrics. He was obviously incredible.

That's ridiculous. Semien would still be a competent fielder and an above average MiF bat anywhere.

How is Vizquel not a HOF'r? He's one of the very best defensive players of all time at a premium position.

I'm not trying to offend you. Not sure why you're taking it so personally. I'll just bow out and trust you.

Specifically which players did they miss that they could have signed?
