Quincy Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Drum roll please..... ( it may be water under the bridge to you, but these cheating POS need to be remembered for what they did plain & simple. This was before your time but we once had a dedicated steroid thread for Bonds. Mod Larry Kart wasted too much of time trimming out the obscenities and such as it reflected poorly on the band that this site is named for. I believe it was eventually locked. Anyway, nothing will convince Goodspeak that Bonds was a user, that 'roids cause a ball to travel farther, and so on. Yeah, I know. So while you didn't get to "enjoy" this discussion maybe it'd be better not to go back into the past of PED use in baseball, as you'd have better luck changing the "mind" of the wall across from you than that of Goodspeak.

My edit: Original message cahnged for the good of the order. I was here for that....check my join date.OK. Here's the deal: I couldn't care less if Bonds was a PEDs user. He is the HR King because he could hit the ball. PEDs had nothing to do with it. Period. End of conversation. Why, I couldn't hazard a guess. Where, indeed, is the Moderator, Mike? Now you and Mike need to lay off. Today...as in immediately. I don't do this shit to either of you. Edited August 18, 2012 by GoodSpeak Quote

He is the HR King because he could hit the ball. PEDs had nothing to do with it. Period. End of conversation. Schwartz, OTOH, has this fixation on me and whatever I say. He has made it his mantra to bring up Bonds every chance he gets. A gerbil has better sense. A troll, however, has a need to be this continual jerk with nothing better to do than goad other posters on this BBS. It is an amazing and persistent thing and fodder for a psychologist's appointment. Why, I couldn't hazard a guess. Where, indeed, is the Moderator, Mike? Now you and Mike need to lay off. Today...as in immediately. I don't do this shit to either of you. MODERATOR PLEASE!! I put up serious stats, photos & the like and make a few points regarding cheating players based on the news regarding recently suspended Cabrera. Goodspeak holds a different (and kind of strange) take on things based on that these are his opinions ( period as he states), which he's entitled, but seasons his comebacks with insults and name calling. He further states that I bring up Bary Bonds 'every chance I get' which is absurd, as I never mentioned the guy on this board once in 8 years until the other day when a player from the same team was suspended for using banned substances, which prompted using his name . Is that some sort of crime at Organissimo? We were both asked to chill on another matter by a moderator and I've done what was asked. Just a couple of posts ago, Goodspeak asks other posters to 'jump' me. What kind of nonsense is that? Edited August 18, 2012 by Mike Schwartz Quote

Larry Kart Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 Sorry -- I can't moderate behavior that takes place while I'm asleep or otherwise occupied. In particular, Goodspeak -- at first glance, and I'm not going to go into this further, having wasted much time and effort doing so before, you are the main hurler of insulting remarks here. Further, while of course I'm not, as a moderator, in a position to judge the rightness or wrongness of your more than familiar stance on this issue, it is, as has been pointed out, more than familiar to all of us, and you have to my and our knowledge failed to make a single convert here to your point of view. Thus, I would suggest that from now on you either keep a strict hold on your emotions on this thread or simply stay away from it. It that fair or equitable? -- probably not. But in certain straits (and this is one of them IMO) we moderators are like school teachers handling a disruptive classroom. When the air gets filled with wads of gum, erasers, half-eathen peanut butter sandwiches and insults, one answer (and it's the one that's going to apply here unless I'm overruled by Jim or my fellow moderator) is simply to separate the combatants. Thus because without Goodspeak there would seem to be no combat on this thread, and because there is no sign that this Goodspeak-against-nearly-all combat has led or could lead anyone to change his mind, I again emphatically suggest that Goodpeak on this thread should either censor himself a good deal or just chose not to comment. And "emphatically suggest" is not the final step -- got it? Quote

Do you think after the crushing, epic game 6 loss in the World Series, they'd have preferred getting a shot at game 7 at home? Oh wait!! It was played at the home field of the 2011 All-Star winning National League. Edited August 18, 2012 by Mike Schwartz Quote

They'd have preferred Matt Harrison pitching some shutdown innings after they went back out and took the lead right off the bat, that's what they'd have preferred. Quote

TedR Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Reminds me of the Miles Davis comment to Coltrane about his lengthy solos when Coltrane said something to the effect that he had couldn't stop playing until he got all his ideas in. Miles said "then take the goddamn horn out of your mouth". Edit to remove bulk of post that now has no context. But I still like this Miles quote so I'll keep it. Edited August 18, 2012 by TedR Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 Sheesh! The knives come out late at night. Do we have to lock a baseball thread? Quote

Mike Schwartz Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 Hey Guys, Let's not talk any more about Melky Cabrera OK? I wouldn't want to bother anyone who thinks that this most recently suspended cheater may not have any influence whatsoever in what has transpired thus far in the NL with 45 games to play in the regular season at the time of his ouster, the standings in the NL pennant, wild card races, and ultimately the deciding 7th game of the 2012 World Series (if needed) which will be played in the NL city due in no small part by the All-Star Game MVP. Your milage may vary.... Quote

Chalupa Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) FWIW, for all of those board members having problems w/ a certain poster I would just like to point out that the "ignore user" function works just dandy. The Mets, Phillies, and the Brewers can all lay claim to having some of the shittest BPs in the majors. I heard this stat about the Phillies last night - their BP has the highest ERA for the 8th inning in MLB and they have given up more 8th inning HRs than any other team. Case in point - Thursday night's 8th inning meltdown by Jonathan Lindbloom(Thanks Dodgers!) which resulted in a grand slam by the Brewers Corey Hart. Hart had struck out in all 3 of his previous plate appearances that night vs. Cliff Lee. Ugh. Edited August 18, 2012 by J.H. Deeley Quote
Soulstation1 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 The prob with the ignore feature is when the post is quoted it will show up Quote
