At this rate, it doesn't surprise me anymore when a player tests positive for PEDs. It's getting to a point where baseball is so saturated with "cheaters" that the Hall of Fame voters are going to have to consider that the vast majority of the players who put up great numbers are associated in one way or another with banned substances and put them in anyway. This means that guys like Bonds and Clemens have a better shot than before in getting inducted.

I mean, who is going to get inducted after all of this: Jamie Moyer??

Gambo and Ash just brought up a good point (yeah, blind squirrel, yada yada)... We ought to start thinking about players we hope are not on the list, or most likely not on the list.

Those I hope are not on the list:

Any starter on the 2001 D-Backs World Series team (already have Matty guilty)



Those who are probably not on the list:

Just wait until Gonzo's name comes out, it's only a matter of time. Oh wait, I forgot, he turned from a weak gap hitter to a 50 hr guy by diet and exercise.

Feels more like a list of who someone thinks was on it. Way too many big names. You would see many more smaller names IMHO.

Probably is fake, but it's amazing the number of guys on it whose bodies basically broke down, or numbers dropped dramatically post-2003.

Someone needs to look up Roger Maris' career numbers. Was he juicing too? Guys can have career years, its happened many times. I don't know if Gonzo was juicing or not, and frankly I don't care. If he was and if the entire 2001 team was, it won't make me enjoy that year any less.

Dont ever imply to Gambo that Gonzo juiced in 2001. He will jump down your throat. Ive heard it many times on the radio.

ROTFL, I was just going to find that picture, hilarious. You can't be serious Hoover, you're comparing Gonzo to Roger Maris? Oh yeah, just a total coincidence, I'm sure it was just the vitamins and workout, probably a couple prayers mixed in.

Gonzo played longer, in part due to modern medicine and conditioning (another reason its silly to compare eras) and thus more data

Maris' HR numbers by year: 14,28, 19, 16,39, 61,33,23, 26,8,13,9,5

Gonzos HR numbers by year: 0, 13, 10, 15, 8, 13, 7, 15, 10, 23, 26, 31, 57,28, 26,17, 24, 15, 15, 8

is that really that different? I think we can all agree Maris wasn't juicing. Now Maris' numbers decline due to injury and playing fewer games, but surely we can agree many players have had one year where in one statistical category they had a far superior year to any of their other years.

Gonzo may have been and he may not have been. But what does it matter? Does it make the memories of 2001 less special if he (and 90% of baseball) was juicing?

You can't compare eras anyway, so people who get all hung up on baseballs 'holy' records are just practicing an exercise in futility anyhow. In Ruths day he played against subpar athletes, only whites, they didn't have todays scouting capability and fewer people were playing the game. From Maris to Aarons day there were many of the same issues, inferior (to todays) athletes, facing the same pitcher 3 or 4 times a game, no Asians or Latinos (or very few), scouting wasn't as good, etc. Each era has pluses and minuses that make it harder or easier to hit (or do any specific athletic skill) in, its part of the changing times.

Just enjoy the games and get over the steroids thing, youll save yourself an ulcer.

The urban swamp
and Pujols didn't make that list? That one would bring MLB to its deserved knees. I find it so hard to believe he isn't doing it.

I am enjoying the timing of the leaks. Problem with lying about the use or denial of using is that it really pisses off the people who get lied to more than the admission. Look at Andy Pettit and Jason Giambi. They didn't lie. The people you lie to feel like fools. If someone did it , admit it.


BTW, doesn't the NBA have a PED test? Stern would be so tarnished.


PS. The Boston Red SawRx.

There would be many players who would be no suprise, but I think there would be a few players that would be crushing to fans and the game if they tested positive.

Pujols
Schilling
Randy Johnson
Ken Griffey Jr (just because so many people have said there was no way)
Greg Maddux
Ichiro

You should add Derek Jeter and Jim Thome to that list...

Paul ONeill and Craig Biggio might cause a huge ripple, but it might not. People are getting desensitized.
