2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

Albert Pujols is cleaner than Ryan Braun.

So is Lance Armstrong.

 

I absolutely think OOP is one of the smartest people who post here. He just likes the argument more than he likes being right.

 

Huh? How many times has he been accused of juicing?

And he's cleaner than Braun?

 

Braun got caught.

 

So if Braun got off on a technicality, does that make Freddy Galvis the Cleveland State of Major League Baseball?

 

Pretty much.

 

You keep saying that, but you don't know it. Besides, how do you define cleaner? They either used or they did not.

Me, I think the entire Cubs roster is cheating. They just suck at it, but I suspect them all. Some of them are too big. Some are too injury prone. Some are not injury prone enough. I'd swear one or two grew a hat size...

 

There are degrees. One can do a cycle or 2 or one can be a juicehead. One can experiment with drugs or one can be a junkie.

 

Albert Pujols, Ryan Braun and Lance Armstrong have all denied using juicing. If any of them did use, even once, there is no reason to believe them if they were to later change their story to say it was only once or twice.

Like Alex Rodriguez. First he denied it. Then he admitted it, but expected us to believe he only used while he was with the Rangers. Why? Because the pressure after signing that monstrous contract got to him. Because, as we all know, the pressure came right off when he became a Yankee.

They are clean or they are not, and A_QB has no real basis for his claim that Armstrong and Pujols are cleaner than Braun. There are valid points to be made against Braun, but that is not one of them.

 

MLB has never released a positive test on Pujols. They have on Braun. He won an appeal of his suspension on a vote. They didn't retest his piss and say it was clean.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if they are. There are probably guys all over MLB still cheating.

None of which changes the fact that Ryan Braun IS a drug cheat.
