    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.

    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.
  16. 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.

    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.
