    I don't buy into the theory that closers are not that important. I think a consistently high performing closer will result in a consistently competitive team. When Mo Rivera finally breaks down so will the consistent competitiveness of the Yankees.

    It's a good bet that the closer who follows Papelbon will not be as good as Papelbon.

    My brother has a back condition for which there is a non-invasive procedure available that has shown great success. His health insurer won't cover it, because it is considered experimental. They will cover the more invasive surgery, which will require extended physical therapy. Further off topic, it baffles me that most health plans will cover trans-gender procedures. They will pay to have a working penis cut off turning a guy into a chick, but other procedures that alleviate physical pain are denied as experimental. It may just be me, but I think that is f***ed up.

    Are you a neurosurgeon? No one like a know it all. Just kidding.

    My post about my friend was anectdotal as were the posts of the others who had stories about family members. It's curious that you didn't jump on them for not being neurosurgeons. I didn't claim any sort of medical knowledge on the the topic. So, you STFU. My friend is 49 years old and still plays ball although not professionally. I'll bet he could still outrun you. The dude can fly. Are you a professional athlete? The last time I looked that is not a requirement for offering an opinion on this forum. So, again, STFU. I know what I learned from my friend and from the doctor that my brother consulted who showed us a film on the procedure. I hope that is enough of a basis to post a comment about the outcome of my friend's procedure. Again, STFU. Tom, I think it is time to demonstrate that you know something and start adding some information to this forum. Otherwise, get lost.

    Bowa has always been a jerk and a loser as a coach and manager.

    I am sure that his cousin appreciates being implicated in this story. It was nice of ARod to drag his cousin through the mud. Maybe the feds will target him for trafficking and distributing illegal drugs. ARod is just a self-centered selfish jerk who is a coward to boot.

    Peculiar career path? Part-time player in his early 20's who came into his own in in his late 20's as a full time player and suffered an injury in his early to mid-30's causing a decrease in his performance. Why is that so peculiar?

    It is very painful, but there are minimally invasive surgical techniques to correct this condition. Why wasn't this dealt with in the off season?

    I have 4 tickets available for the 3rd game of the season-- April 9th against Tampa. These are premium seats-- Pavilion Club seats, Section 14, Row 3. I am not looking to make a profit on these seats. I'm offering them here first. I'll sell all 4 or in sets of 2. PM me if you are interested.

    Great news that Drew is already talking about being injured.

    Varitek is a tough guy. He missed a full week twice during the season. It had to be a very bad viral bug.

    Boy, I really got your underwear twisted in a knot! You are spilling your anger into multiple threads. Have a nice day.

    Of course, he must be sitting back and thinking "screw those CEO's that don't want me to endorse their products for millions of dollars, because of my damaged reputation. I have enough money for the rest of my life. I don't want to take Canseco and my brother to task for their lies." Of course that must be what he is thinking. I addressed it. You either forgot, didn't notice or understand the response. A first person account of an event is evidence. Of course the evidence can be discredited by lots of factors including the fact that his brother was/is a junky who needs money, but it is admissible evidence nonetheless. Yes, I have may have to take some courses on evidence.

    I just used it in a sentence.
  19. a700hitter
    You don't think he cares that his damaged reputation has cost him a lot of money? Inaction in the face of a reduction in income caused by the malicious lies of another would be a normal reaction by McGwire and his lawyer? You are serious? If you marketed a product using McGwire's or any player's name or likeness, you would be slapped with an injunction and a lawsuit so fast that your head would spin, but you think a player of McGwire's stature would just sit back and let his livelihood be destroyed by two liars? There is testimonial evidence from his best friend, Andy Pettitte and a sworn affidavit from Pettitte's wife submitted to Congress. Again, you as others, are misusing the word proof. It is evidence that proves a case. Proof is not a higher level of evidence. Your understanding of evidence and misuse of the term "proof" demonstrates that you have had no legal training.

    From Websters: Testimony: 2 a: firsthand authentication of a fact : evidence b: an outward sign c: a solemn declaration usually made orally by a witness under oath in response to interrogation by a lawyer or authorized public official 3 a: an open acknowledgment b: a public profession of religious experience An eyewitness account fits nicely in 2a.

    McGwire had the opportunity under oath to dispute the accusation, but he did not. Hmmm. Interesting. Their written statements if untrue are actionable as their writings have damaged the reputation of McGwire and impaired his earning ability. That makes it more than a he said she said. They have exposed themselves legally if these statements are untrue. Their statements were not hearsay or opinion. They didn't hedge their statements in anyway. They flat out stated they they had injected McGwire with steroids. The fact that McGwire's earning ability has been decimated as a result of his connection to steroids, but has not sued these guys speaks volumes.

    An eyewitness account of an incident or crime is not "word of mouth." Maintaining that it is just word of mouth is just foolish. You have obviously let your anger at another poster (me) and your desire to win an argument with that poster interfere with sound logic.
  24. a700hitter
    Precisely, if these statements are untrue, they are without a doubt libelous. McGwire's inaction in light of these damaging statements speaks volumes. Even the inveterate liar, Clemens brought a libel suit against McNamee. McGwire's case must really stink if it is not as strong as Clemens' case.

    I'm in. Let's have some fun.
