D-Backs Grimsley implicated in steroids probe

Re: D-Backs Grimsley implicated in steroids probe

You guys need to realize this how sports are now! Roids and HGH is a big part of the sports world! That is just the generation we are in! So if Albert is guilty I still don't care, because that is the just the life of the sports world! Also, sports are starting to become a entertainment and not just a game!

Sports has always been about entertainment and it has been in baseball since the Cincinnati Red Stockings took the field in 1869. What you really mean is that sports are starting to become a world where all the standards are eliminated and everybody gets the true "celebrity pass" that they've never been awarded in the past.

No what I mean is people go to games to be entertain. Many go to Giants games to watch Bonds hit one in the water! They can care less of the score or if the Giants win! I am not saying that every fan is like that!

No that is not what I am saying, but any ways, what I am saying it is apart of sports! I played college baseball and have many friends that have taking roids! So maybe I just understand it more! I am not saying it is right, but that is what we have to deal with! I know in college the pressure to win and perform is very intense! I am sure others that played college can understand that! But I can't even image what it is like in the pros! But the my main point is lol, is so many players have taken something that is would be damn near impossible to try and take back numbers and records!

Re: D-Backs Grimsley implicated in steroids probe

I think what he is trying to say that while it is a definitely a goal to work towards to get a performance-enhancing free sports world, that's about as realistic as getting a corruption free political world. As long as we pay professional athletes this large amount of money, they will try and get every advantage possible to enhance their performance. C'mon yall, its the "American" way. Maybe now people will actually try and really solve the problem instead of looking for a stopgap scapegoat like they always do.

yep, but I don't know how you clean it up! I had friends taking roids in 8th grade, and that was back in 87 lol. I am not BS either lol

Re: D-Backs Grimsley implicated in steroids probe

First of all, I am going to give Grimsley a pat on the back for at least being man enough, and mature enough, to ask the D'Backs to release him so that they aren't drug into this mess.

And, it didn't take long for someone to bring in Bonds and how wronged he is and to also bring Clemens and Pujols into the mix.

Why does this keep happening? Find some evidence that Pujols and Clemens took something, anything and we'll talk.

For the last time, Bonds admits that he took steroids but claims that he didn't know what they were at the time of injection or what not.

Wow...this could be the dumbest post that i've EVER read. I think my IQ just dropped by 50. Seriously, do you actually believe this stuff? Anybody else see the irony that he's a Giants fan?

Re: D-Backs Grimsley implicated in steroids probe

But you are missing the point, the point is you want to get rid of the steroids problem in baseball, not get rid of Bonds. Despite what you want to believe, Bonds is not the nexus of performance enhancing in baseball. Until you get there, you won't make any progress, and it finally looks like people are realizing this fact.

I still feel that clemens took something, but I can be wrong. I just feel like a lot of players have taken something.

Why not both?

For that matter why not get rid of everyone that gets caught using steroids or any banned substance.

You want to clean up baseball, start kicking players out of the league for using a banned substance. I don't care if its Bonds, Pujols, A-Rod, Clemens, a minor leaguer, a bench warmer, a mascot, a hot dog vendor, who ever it is.

They cheat, kick them out. That is how you clean up baseball.

Because you are talking about a lot of players! I hear what you are saying, but what is better is to get to it now! So the future players wont have to go through all this! Especially the kids now,.
