Why do you insist on pretending that those games dont count? > is over 5 since then. There are a boat load of 10 week wonders out looks like youre wrong again. Following his first 15 starts (and 1 relief appearance), since June 26 of 2008 he is 11-6 4.54 era in 150.2 innings. So he's been a league average pitcher following 15 weeks as the best starter in a game (oh wait, that period doesnt matter. i forgot). > there.

I have yet to see any report that he was using 'roids. There are more substances on the banned list than just steroids. I find it difficult to believe that any legit doctor in the western hemisphere would prescribe steroids to someone who list his occupation as proffesional baseball player. Unless he just recently emerged from under a rug. Between you and BobB, youre a couple of insufferable haters. He's a Red. At least have the decency and class to root for the uniform. Its almost like you want half the guys on the team to fail. Honestly, i am thankful to nature and my parents that i am like neither of you guys. Yeah, i can be a smartass, but i dont pile on a dude when he's having problems ( and according to Volquez, he's having trouble conceiving which has to be tearing him up as a man). You guys just cant stand the fact that ballplayers today arent just like the supermen who played the game when you were kids. Well, i got news for you. Those players back then were just as flawed as todays professionals. Times havent changed that much, and most changes are superficial anyway. Try reading some biographies, tell-all books, or diaries about those days. You'll see. Men havent changes at all. > > As far as appearance, I wonder what goes on in brains that dress the way > they do.

That's funny. I'd argue that the Reds could certainly use a player of the caliber of Craig Biggio. Oh wait, the Reds really need a guy who dresses for the cover of GQ while pulling an OPS of .600. As Emily Litella would say, "Never mind." <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Litella> -- Remove blown from email address to reply.
From: john smith on 20 Apr 2010 23:07 I hate guys who are privileged to wear a major league uniform and then throw it all away because of drugs. I don't care what uniform they wear. I am not a Reds' fan drone. If a player doesn't play the game the right way or conduct himself with a certain respect, I have a problem with it. It is a privilege to wear a major league uniform. There is a thing known as class and it is not a course you take in school. It is all about a respect for the game and yourself. Something quite a few modern day players have no clue about. As far as piling on poor Edinson Volquez, I think you might want to get a better grip on reality. I don't consider it bad taste to talk about a boob like Volquez, a guy who has made big time money compared to the real world slob. I'll save my pity for a guy who has cancer or better yet a guy in Afghanistan who lives day to day and wonders if he is going to be alive the next day. Do you ever think about guys who provide you the very freedom to be a smartass? Or do you save your empathy for a guy like Volquez? I am glad I have the morals and integrity of past generations. At least I know the difference between right and wrong.

Oh Henry, I find it really amusing that you point out Josh Hamilton hasn't been the same since his April and May of 08. And average player to quote your post...... But when I use the same argument about Volquez's April and May of 08, you quickly dismiss it. How wonderful it must be to live in the world of Henry.. I guess Volquez's first two months of 08 mean much more than Hamiltons... |
