as a Red Sox fan I would like to take this moment and say

HA HA

Sorry I just had to do that

Steroids or not Afraud is a blessing in disguise for the Red Sox. Horrible in the cluch and the Post Season.

If Afraud sets the all time MLB Home Run mark he'll do it like Barry Bonds, with a bunch of meaningless home runs during a long career.

It's not a surprise, he was just like Bonds in gaining bulk and mass very quickly from what he used to look like.

I'm routing for Pujols to beat all the records, he's already a better hitter than either of those two.

My current favorite player in MLB. Of course I'm a Cards fan.

But man I hope he is clean.

Yet people turn a blind eye to the cortizone shot which is much stronger of a steroid than than the evil anabolic steroid because the government says it is ok?

What about HGH? I promise you more than half the NFL, MLB, NHL is on it......it just can't be tested for without a blood test and no union will approve that. This is why the anabolic steroid thing means nothing to me any more.

The whole thing is a joke....

Wonder what Dimbee & Epi think about all this. Being they've quietly rooted for A-Rod to surpass Bonds because he did it the "right" way.

I've been loudly rooting for ANYONE to beat the artificially enhanced new record set by Bonds.

Sadly, it seems nobody is clean, and every day that goes by makes me think that things were in a sad state of affairs in baseball not too long ago.

It is beginning to sound like the question isn't who was taking performance enhancing drugs, but rather, who WASN'T.

It sounds more and more like MLB was more like the WWE.

And as I have said many times in the past, this goes further than MLB. The NFL has been the beneficiary of a much more forgiving fan base. Even the Merriman thing barely registered with hardcore NFL fans.

Welp, I'm here to tell you that it goes superdeep.

Olympic sports, cycling (yes, even the untouchable Lance is likely a user), baseball, football, you name it.

The temptation is just too great.

These people don't realize that the long term effect on their bodies is a really big deal, and you'll start to see the athletes of this era dying MUCH too young. Trust me on that.

And the records that they shatter will seem meaningless, and that's the sad part, since the beauty of discussions about the players of this era vs. that era etc. are now just bunk.

You can't compare regular guys to cartoon characters/video game characters.

These guys have a cheat code, and that sucks for the fans.

And it'll suck for the players when their health goes down the crapper when the playing days are over.

The classic example of short term benefit with long term detrimental effect.

KT, I don't hate these guys.

The whole thing just makes me sad.

Disappointed.

Kinda mad.

Am I surprised....no.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
