Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) And I want to apologize to Dick. He knew Manny was a fraud and would be a bust all along. But anything would've been better than Kotsay, or so I thought. Biggest waste of $4 million dollars in White Sox history. Go f*** yourself, Manroid.

Rowand44 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Not that his numbers weren't insane to begin with but it's amazing how much better Frank Thomas continues to look after his retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I doubt it, reports are saying he failed during ST, and that he looked much bigger in spring training this year. Â PS. I posted this this in Diamond Club, please delete thread. TIA.

The Ginger Kid Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hate to see him go out like this. He should be remembered as one of the best RH hitters of all time, not this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Not that Manny being a roider is a some shocking new revelation or anything but seems like an appropriate time to look at this depressing ass list:  1 Bonds 2 Aaron 3 Ruth 4 Mays 5 Griffey 6 Rodriguez 7 Sosa 8 Thome 9 Robinson 10 McGwire 11 Killebrew 12 Palmeiro 13 Jackson 14 Ramirez 15 Schmidt 16 Mantle 17 Foxx 18 McCovey 18 Thomas 18 Williams  The revised list does move Jim Thome up to 5th all time which is quite nice. 1 Aaron 2 Ruth 3 Mays 4 Griffey 5 Thome 6 Robinson 7 Killebrew 8 Jackson 9 Schmidt 10 Mantle 11 Foxx 12 McCovey 12 Thomas 12 Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Don't get me wrong, glad to see the cheating SOB go and I'll be glad if he never makes it to Cooperstown. Â I just don't think juice can elevate you that much.

Chicago White Sox Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) I wonder if he'd even have made the bigs if he was clean. I really hope this a joke. Did you ever see him when he first came up? He would have been a great hitter regardless, but steroids made him one of the best in the game.

Â What made him great was his outstanding intellect in pitch recognition and tendency to "guess right." Steroids don't enhance that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
