I hope the Giants somehow get rid of him. Otherwise, I'll have to get myself to cheer for him for another year.Calling someone a chucker or a cheat IMO is fine. I've done it to Bonds, but thats because I've always hated him.
Seriously, go and play in the traffic or something. Did you read anything that pasag wrote???
Bonds is actually a reasonable comparison - he's been convicted by many on the basis of unsubstantiated allegationsI hope the Giants somehow get rid of him. Otherwise, I'll have to get myself to cheer for him for another year.
Mind you, he's still an awesome player without the steroids - steroids do not make that big of a difference. Still, for that he's a bastard.
I don't think they improve your hand-eye coordination. Perhaps it's just additional power which people use to explain Bonds' home run surge in recent years.
Power comes from timing - for the life of me I cant work out how bigger muscles aid the hand-eye co-ordination or technique that goes into hitting a pitch
Good point. I really don't know how steroids have helped him out then.
There are many different types of steroids, which by the way are simply chemical messengers. Those relevant to sport are anabolic steroids and corticosteroids.
Lol @ a 14 year old kid telling me not to be naive. You certainly have some nerve and did a fine effort at missing the entire point of mine and others posts, so I'll have to spell out again for you.
You didn't answer his question ...
I understand what can be achieved with steroids.
No, largely because the more I say the more I am likely to reveal my ignorance.
Afridi tbh...Ha, ha!
C_C clearly hasn't lost his common touch. Do you find it hard to sit down with that rod up your backside?
I presume by "cultural events" you're referring to what is usually called "high culture" (i.e. ballet, opera, the theatre, etc), which generally (exclusively?) follow a script of some manner; one goes to admire how a particular performer or cast of performers interpret a work. Conversely, of course, the outcome of any sporting event is, at its outset, undecided.
Now Canada may be a prelapsarian paradise where the crowd consists entirely of neutrals who sincerely hope that sport is the winner, but I reckon you'll find that those of us who're forced to reside outside this other Eden actively enjoy taking sides (sport is, almost by its very definition, adversarial in nature), however beastly & unmannerly that makes us. There's obviously a line one doesn't wish to see crossed, racial or homophopic abuse would be on the unacceptable side of it, but very frequently sportsmen take the trouble to thank their fans for their support. Mere lip service? Possibly. I personally prefer to think that on a few golden occasions the efforts of the crowd lift their chosen champions to greater heights of excellence.
Agreed.
What a post. Absolute gem.Ha, ha!

Well you made another mistake once again. 'Generally' is 'Generalising'. Bradman thought Murali was great, Waugh thinks Murali is great - many many Australians think he is a great cricketer. Just because you have a bunch of drunk idiots on the ground being stupid doesn't mean everyone is that way.
