Part 10 *(final part)* of McGwire story up on You Tube NOW

Hmmm. You know, he's going to find out one way or another. I don't think it's a big deal in the grand scheme of things. It's up to you.

 

"Again, I ask, why should anyone believe either of you? You both have made claims against each other. What proof do you have for us that either of you are credible? You're making claims that he's attempting to get back in to the MLB. He's making claims that you only worked with McGwire for 2-4 weeks. I have no reason to believe either of you for making claims against one another and accusing the other of lying."

If that is your standard for how you weigh out evidence then I would say let me do the lawyering, ok. Secondly, I never said he is trying to get back into MLB, since he has never BEEN in MLB, nor (if I am remembering correctly) even mention that kind of motivation that was Rokski.

In any event, seriously I don't care - this should be obvious to any reasonable individual and is easy to check on and the facts will all come out in detail on my site. I am not worried - its really fine.

Hell, go call Tim Brown and ask him. If you can't see it now I can't help you, but sooner or later you will see I am telling the truth.

So, that is cool

 

The truth shall set you free. I just wish some players would get this over with. I totally agree with JDV if these sports leagues really had the interest of the players in mind they would set up studies to find out what products work best and which ones are dangerous in the short term and long term. I don't think it is unfair for a player to seek every advantage he or she can get. I do think it is unfair that these league throw their players under the bus. Instead of helping people all we seem interested in doing is destroying someone because we are jealous of the money they make. Baseball is especially guilty of this and Bud Selig is one of most despicable human being alive because he lies about testing and only did something when congress basically was going to take over his sport.

 

Thicker than Ritalin anyway. Have you fellas considered any ADHD management strategies?

 

WAAAY more complicated than that & typically in many sports (certainly not all) the guys with the LEAST talent take the most stuff as they need to to keep up.

Certain sports you HAVE to take stuff
Certain sports/positions it can help a lot
Certain sports it may or may not help
Certain sports I think it hurts
Certain sports it will definately hurt you

and there are 100's of drugs of all types so its like what drugs are we even talking about you know

Whatever

 

ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY!!!

Great post!!!

 

Yep, my bad. It depends on how you define MLB. From what I know, he was in the minor leagues, with an MLB affiliate. Sorry for the discrepancy. This, however, would make my case stronger. Someone with less of a 'foothold' in the bigs has less leverage than someone with greater leverage, so to speak. Emmitt Smith can say something the coach doesn't like; the 53'rd guy can't.

 

Have you seen the length of our posts? You think attention defecit is an issue?

 

Indian, this post was even better than the last one.

You hit the nail on the head. None of the sports leagues care a whole bunch about the players, that's why there are unions in the first place.

Remember how much baseball profitted from the McGwire-Sosa HR chase? Exactly. Many knew what was going on, and not only didn't discourage it, they encouraged it. You know, post-strike, gotta get the fans back, etc. It made dollars, so it made sense.

Fast forward to the congressional hearings. Different mood. Public wants a scapegoat. Can't have Bonds, can't catch him. Well, who's head do we get? McGwire's, that's who. This is the mob demanding to burn Frankenstein. MLB is on board because that's what their consumers want. If they wanted HR's again, MLB would be right there. Again, that's why there are unions. You can't trust people profitting from your labors to treat you properly.

Great post.

 

Rok f's up again. My apologies to all, sincerely.

 

Unfortunately most of the general sports media is not interested in the truth because it would show that people are human and makes mistakes and take risks to make their lives better. Sometimes those risks end up costing them a lot but really it isn't the big of a gamble when you realize they still will have made plenty of money to get out of those mistakes. It is time these sport writers have a reality check and stop acting all high and mighty. This world isn't as cut and dry as it seems and people in general have lots of pressure to preform that unless you are in those positions you have no idea how to handle it. Education will fix this problem but no one wants to talk about education all we want to talk about is destruction. Its time to stop playing games and really find out the truth. If we stopped vilifying these athletes the truth would come and then we could seriously evaluate what is really going on. I love baseball and I have always loved the historical stats but truth is there are so many factors effecting these stats that records seem to be less important then how the athletes at the time accomplish what they did.
