    Eyewitness testimony is direct evidence. It is not circumstantial evidence. Any lawyer prosecuting a crime would love to have an eyewitness. A case with two eyewitnesses is a pretty solid case. That's what you have with McGwire-- a very solid case. If the eyewitnesses were lying, McGwire certainly would have a lible case against them, because their books have ruined him and his future earning ability.

    Change your name again. Your reputation under this new name is already shot to hell.

    Wrong. Conjecture is an inference from defective or presumptive evidence or a conclusion deduced by surmise or guesswork. There are multiple eyewitness accounts against McGwire-- one being his brother. Until that evidence is discredited in court upon cross examination, we are not in the realm of conjecture. People saw him using and they have given their first hand accounts of what they had witnessed. There's no guesswork involved. Concluding that Ortiz used steroids based on quotes from an article discussing how things worked in the DR when he was a kid, is not evidence of anything. You are engaging in some sort of mind reading. You're conclusion is based on presumptive evidence making conjecture. It's too bad that you can't understand the distinction.

    Doesn't matter. I've been itching to write an anti-Yankee post that would get all of the Yankee fans twisted. Buzz was just a convenient excuse for me to go off about the Yankees.

    Not interseted in baseless conjecture about any players.

    My god... indeed. You are insisting upon smearing your favorite player on your favorite team with repeated baseless innuendo. I hope that you are not the president of his fan club. I think that you might really be hearing that "Ding Ding Ding" in your head or that is the alarm that sounds when the mental facility goes into lock down.

    By a700Hitter: Really? That's why you had to go back to 2007 for an article that discusses Ortiz on the same page as sterioids. It sounds like the press is all over this story. Neiter. I am just waiting for the disclosure of some fact or other evidence that would support your obviously biased and unsupported speculation.:thumbdown

    I am sure lots of other players were wondering what might have been if Manny hadn't run himself out of town. Bay knows he is not Manny. The last thing he needs is for the fans to expect him to replace Manny, because he is solidly below Manny's level. I would doubt that he took great offense at hearing that one of the greatest all-time RH hitters might have made the difference. If he did, well then, he needs a serious reality check. In the current Red Sox lineup, Bay will probably not be backing up Ortiz, so management doesn't think that he is the guy.

    There are twice as many teams today, and the talent is very diluted despite all the ethnic groups that participate. I think the stars of that era would have found a spot in todays game.

    While training methods were not as sophisticated in Ruth's day, it doesn't mean that the players were less physically fit. They ran more building endurance, and Ruth used to retreat to his winter cabin where he chopped wood with an ax all winter long. Have you seen the footage Ruth swinging an ax? That was as aerobic and strength building as anything a modern athlete does today. It targeted his wrists, forearms and shoulders. It also worked on his hand-eye coordination. From a stamina standpoint, those old-timers were probably better conditioned than today's prima dona's with their energy drinks and power bars.

    He never complained about the trading of Manny. He just said that manny could've helped them win. Why would his support for the treade preclude him from expressing his opinion about needing another big bat? Don't you think that another big bat would help? Were you opposed to the Manny trade? Whether you supported or were against the Manny trade has no effect on whether they need another big hitter.

    I don't see the connection. I don't remember him bitching that the Red Sox traded him. I don't see the contradiction between Ortiz supporting the trade and making the statement that if they had Manny they would have won another championship. I agree with him about that. If they had a Manny who was willing to play hard and not quit, I believe that they would have won another championship, but Manny gave every indication that he was going to continue to lie down and quit. Where's the contradiction, and why would Ortiz have no right to make the statement.

    This article is relevant to nothing at this time. It is just an old story.

    Old story being brought up by a bitter Yankee fan. A cheater and a fraud denies all culpability until presented with incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, and even then many cheaters and frauds will still maintain their innocence, e.g. Roger Clemens, O.J. Simpson. I don't think that a roid cheater would discuss this topic so casually. This story was the result of an attention seeking writer manipulating an informal conversation into innuendo.
