Everett was a jackass, but Julio Valdez was a pedophile…

You only put her on a pedestal so you could look up her skirt…

If the Yomiuri Giants want you, the Yomiuri Giants get you. Why would anyone settle for Chunichi between those two teams. It’s like trying to choose between joining the cast of Saturday Night Live or teaming up with some guy named Dave who has some puppets and works the occasional kid’s birthday party…

I see only 7 of 20 on the west coast. Of course you left off Kasahiro Sasaki (Sea), Kenjhi Jojima (Sea), Shigetoshi Hasegawa (Anaheim), Hideo Nomo (LAD), Kaz Ishii (LAD). But then you left out a bunch to play on non-west coast teams, too, like Kaz Matsui (Mets) and Nori Aoki (Brewers). And when did Kikuchi retire?!?

It does seem like the majority of Japanese players do sign with teams on the West Coast originally…

Or the rest of MLB. The rampant cocaine abuse back then lead to the steroid ban, as illegal steroids were just rolled into the MLB policy for illegal drugs. Gooden and Strawberry were certainly big offenders, but four members of the Kansas City Royals (Willie Wilson, Willie Aikens, Vida Blue and Jerry Martin) spent an off-season in jail in cocaine charges back then. And during the famous Pittsburgh Drug Trials in the late 80s, members of the Pirates (including the late Rod Scurry) testified to meeting dealers and using coke during games. Steve Howe admitted to using cocaine in the bullpen during games and was received multiple lifetime suspensions. And Hall of Famer Tim Raines testified in court that he used to slide into bases head first because he had glass vials of cocaine in his back pocket.

I do agree the whole POP PEE thing is a bit childish. Now if David Ortiz had tested positive for cocaine and someone labeled him David Snortiz, I could get behind that for a while. Oh great. Now I put the words “David Ortiz had tested positive for cocaine” in a sentence. Apparently that’s enough to convince some people he did that too…

So instead of “innocent until proven guilty,” you prefer “guilty due to unsupported accusation”? Did you also think Richard Jewell was guilty?

At least twice…

While laughably bad and lacking in physics knowledge, it’s still not really relevant…

Oh but in the CPI, we’re all judges, screaming an array of verdicts with or without evidence. For instance, we don’t even know what substances MLB tested for in 2003, let alone whether or t they were legal. Someone mentioned Sammy Sosa testing positive. One thing we do know about Sosa is he was an admitted creatine user. Did they test for creatine then? Was that what he allegedly failed for? If so, probably worth noting creatine has never been banned by MLB and is still legal today…

Not really relevant, but the “Dodge Falling Iguana” was actually a finalist in their pickup truck naming meetings…

The Court of Public Opinion has no jury. Also no relevance…

When not talking about closers, clutch and Dombrowski, you present many viewpoints I agree with…
-
MLBTR predicted 5 years $55million. And with the exception of Marcus Stroman, they’ve been surprisingly accurate…
-
There are plenty of facts; there just aren’t any to support your viewpoint…
-
And really what many are omitting is MLB was testing for performance-enhancing drugs, but the testing also included checks for substances that were not banned by MLB. Even if Ortiz actually did test positive, it’s very possible that what he tested positive for was perfectly legal. You can’t cheat if you’re not breaking the rules…
-
Not to mention, the “list” didn’t come from any testing source or from MLB. Ortiz’ name was added by a writer from The New York Times…

Mariners…

I know it’s sarcasm, but I’m willing to bet that’s still the first time in the history of the English language that all words were strung together…

Yankees should target IKF. He’s a very good player with no place to play in Texas. (He also absolutely crushed Sox pitching last year with a 1.314 OPS.) Yankees have several options viewed as equal on BTV, and Texas might bite at any one of them…
