I use to until I saw Mo Vaughn's name on the Mitchell Report. I don't care if he used it to heal faster, he still used. That really got to me as he was my childhood hero. Now I myself wouldn't be surprised at most players. I'm sure Garciaparra was another one and probably David Wells too.
Well, two actually.
This coming June I'll be going to Houston when they play the Sox in an interleague series.
I'm freakin' pumped. I can finally see the players I've looked up to for so long in person.
I highly doubt it but I hope Curt Schilling is there.
Anyway, this is a real big thing for me, I've already gone out and bought about a half dozen of official MLB balls to be autographed and what not.
All I gotta do now is clean off my Nixon jersey and I'm set!
The ONE game I missed in September, the VERY first damn game of the month just HAD to be Buchholz's no-hitter. NATURALLY I just COULDN'T be at home to witness it.
Some ******** I'll tell ya what.
But still, amazing event and a nice article. I'm looking foward to seeing Buchholz in the rotation.
I say a good way to discourage steroid use would be to have Bonds, Canseco, Clemens, McGwire, and other notable juicers play a game of Russian Roulette with a semi-automatic pistol.
Then we'll see how well the rest fall in line.
I think what Gom meant was the fact the father allowed the grandfather to make him a Red Sox fan...
And welcome!
I have some what of a similar experience with my great uncle, he passed away before 2004 having never seeing it either. I just recently went back to his grave after this past World Series.
I never said that.
But medically people in more fit conditions heal faster. I'm not saying he'll be good to go anytime soon, or if it's a definate that he'll even be ready at all, I'm just saying with him being in better physical condition weight wise, his recovery time won't take as long.
Ah, another season of America's pastime is soon to begin!
The Sox look great! Matsuzaka looks much better conditioned, Buchholz is looking great, Beckett's extra baggage ain't nothing.
Can't wait for Spring Training to get into full gear!
You guys are just on time.
