Re: The official [Was/is he on Roids?] game thread

i think everyone is a suspect and up for debate. i could care less, but the thing that keeps pissing me off is people like mike golic saying "come on gang, it wasn't illegal in baseball at the time". BS. it was illegal in society, by default wouldn't that make it illegal in baseball?

Manny Ramirez. The dude has gotten huge since he has came into the league. The only difference between him and some of the other juicer's is his diet. The dude is a lard *** but he is still really strong.

Re: The official [Was/is he on Roids?] game thread

OK this is fun...here is a quick re-cap with my opininons

So after my favorite player ever admitted He took Roids, I want start playing a game that I like to call: Was/is he on Roids?

Basically I name a player and the next poster have to say if he was/is on roids. If he wants he can back up his argument with photos or stats.

Ill start with:

Albert Pujols, was he on roids?

NO to Pujos.....He just seems like one of those natually husky dudes

Hope not. Wouldn't be surprised.

Brian Giles?

Yes...dude cant move his neck...too bad he still sux

Brian Giles? No still a great hitter. Power numbers took a hit with Petco field being a pitchers park.

David Ortiz?

NO...i agree with the cheeseburger diet theory....hmmm maybe cheeseburgers should be banned as performance enhancers.

no, Ortiz is only on Miller high life and cheeseburgers[/sarcasm]

Ken Griffey Jr.

No...if he did he wouldnt have been injured as much.

No, don't think so but wouldn't be as shocked as I might've been a week ago.

Alfonso Soriano?

Soriano...yes, but he is trying to get his money back because it apparently didnt work. Come on...dude has been the same size SMALL and always has power....proof that skill is more important than roid strenght

Yes..I think he was

Derrick Lee?

No..he isnt even that buff he is just super tall.

Probably not.

Jose Guillen?

Yes....possibly crack as well

Vlad Guerrero?

No....but i guess anyone is suspect

Yes.

Frank Thomas?

No....i have a baseball card of him when he was in Auburn...dude was huge in college.

Don't think so.

Milton Bradley?

Probably Not...but he gets blamed for everythign else...why not this too.

Yes, he definitely has the temper for it.

Manny Ramirez?

No...a buddy of mine met Manny once...he was astonishe at how normal sized he was. Wait my buddy was on roids...so I will change that to yes...just kidding

Yes.

Kyle Farnsworth?

Hmmmm possibly

More than likely, he seems to be a very agressive person lol.

How about Jeter?

If he did...he really needs to look into the roids return policy

Yes to jeter. Just look at that hairline

Ichiro~>?

Not unless steroids means Sushi in japanese

no to Ichiro..

Mike Piazza?

this is a toss up. I never noticed any major growth....but all NY players outside of Jeter seem suspect.

He was with the Mets when they employed Radmonski. I say yes.

Mickey Tettleton?

almost forgot about him...this dude may have shown Canseco how to juice in Oakland...this is a resounding yes

Tettleton did play for the Texas Rangers in the late 90s, so yes lol

Cal Ripken Jr.

No...come on that is baseball royalty.

Cal - I really don't see it.

How about Eric Chavez?

if he did, clearly they dont help batting ability or injury reduction. I have to say NO

Chavez NO,
Bret Boone?

yes...cuz Canseco said so

Yes to Bret

Kevin Youkilis?

no

Yes.

Curt Schilling.

no

I throw this name out here because it'll lead to a comment.

Lance Berkman

roids or not?

hmmmm, no...i think he takes a lesser version of the Ortiz McDs diet

Brady Anderson.

John Kruk.

Jay Buhner.

Carney Lansford.

Juan Gonzalez.

Yes to Brady...50 homers my ***
NO to Kruk...dude has one nut...even with steroids that gives him regular testosterone
Maybe on Buhner....he is a big dude...but not unusually...but he did have that acne
NO on Landsford
HELL YEAH....Gonzalez ballooned and he has that Canseco Texas connection


Here are a few suspect guys

Randy Johnson
Carlos Beltran
Johnny Damon
Darrly Strawberry

Re: The official [Was/is he on Roids?] game thread

Sheesh talk about covering all the bases maverick!

Anywho I asked about Berkman because Alan Ashby who is the radio color voice of the Jays used to work for Houston and still lives there. He's close friends with Berkman and he strongly believes Berkman is clean. Berkman made a comment in the media saying how everyone is guilty by association and no one is ever going to believe guys who say they're clean.

BTW Maverick, Lansford was in Oakland during the Bash Brothers era so I have a feeling he might've tried it once at least.

Re: The official [Was/is he on Roids?] game thread

I'm a huge Cardinals fan but I would lean towards Pujols juicing. I hope it's not true but I at the same time I'm not naive.

[thornie]

Re: The official [Was/is he on Roids?] game thread

Randy Johnson - Yes. I would say he was juicing late into his Seattle days, and early on in Houston/Arizona. Stopped some time after being dealt to the Yankees.

Carlos Beltran - I just can't see it. He only had one year where he hit for big time power numbers and that can be attested to hitting behind a hot Delgado. He's more of a 5 tool guy who's game revolves around speed/defense. Doesn't fit the M.O. of a juicer.

Johnny Damon - I would also say no. Although, wouldn't surprise me if he did, especially in his Oakland days.

Darryl Strawberry - Steroids no. Amphetamines & Cocaine, a resounding YES.

Here are some I always suspected...

Jeff Bagwell
Brian Jordan
Rich Aurelia
Steve Finley
Luis Gonzalez
Henry Rodriguez
Jeromy Burnitz

I can go on and on... I was watching the MLB Network the other day (best channel on TV!) and they were giving their "classic games" marathon, which is awesome. I love watching games from the 90s and playing this game. I mean honestly IMO they were ALL juicing.

Re: The official [Was/is he on Roids?] game thread

Jim Thome? God, I hope not...

[Sheamazin]

Re: The official [Was/is he on Roids?] game thread

Cal Ripken?

I would stop watching baseball forever if that were true.

Sammy Sosa?
HAHAHA

[OSUFan_88]

Re: The official [Was/is he on Roids?] game thread

Travis Hafner.

Re: The official [Was/is he on Roids?] game thread

Randy Johnson?? Please. I would be shocked. Dude is a STICK MAN. He is 6'10" 220 pounds will very little to no muscle definition at all. He is lighter than Chris Bosh. Do you think he is on the juice too??

It might go a ways to explain his longevity and his fastball that he's known for.

Pedro Martinez?

Pedro Martinez?

He wasn't the first pitcher to pitch into his 40's and certainly won't be the last. Size and or steroids have nothing to do with being able to throw a fastball. There have been alot of little guys who have been able to hit the mid 90's with their fastball. Plus he has lost velocity as the years have gone by not gained.

Just cause you take Roids it doesnt mean u automatically get bigger and we still dont know if these guys took Hgh as well and maybe not roids.
