Ohh, Manny

drugs have been a part of the music scene since caveman days.


those guys probably had some primo, clean, stuff. the kind that make ya want to bang on something and raise your voice and get nasty.
find a cool spot in the back of a deep cave with some decent reverb, couple torches, mmmmmm.. smell that bear grease burning, bust out the roots!
some play, others listen.
think about it.
not much different now a days.

i would love to go back and be apart of that, probably freak me out but so what.
way cool..

i'm talking before there was beer! well, there could have been a short time when beer wasn't around and proto-beer ruled the earth.


it's in the dna! :O

I agree with lostylost - not only should the use of performance-enhancing drugs be allowed, it should be encouraged. I like his idea about robotic implants. Maybe if a pitcher had a cybernetic arm and could throw 300mph pitches, the game of baseball wouldn't be so bloody boring to watch.

That is either a result of too much Bugs Bunny or Speed Racer as a child, or effects that stem from the "Nintendo" generation with "I want in now" attitude.

None of those things have anything to do with the fact that baseball bores the hell out of me. Keep in mind that's just my opinion, worth exactly what you paid for it

Other folks like baseball, that's great! Nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying that getting all up in arms about this athlete or that athlete getting caught with his hand in the steroid cookie jar is really a waste of time.

I heard a lot of people say, "He let the city of Los Angeles down" - as if the whole city's happiness hinges on one ball player. You shouldn't be upset that he took performance-enhancing drugs. What you should be pissed about is the fact that he makes $45 million (which you helped pay for), for doing something we did for fun when we were kids.

Who is Manny and what is Baseball ???

[Alex003]

I have the perfect solution:


We make a separate league for the clean players, also form a steroid league for our viewing pleasure! Have just a ridiculous league full of people juiced out of your brains, that would totally be awesome to watch. home runs, fights(roid rage haha), 200 MPH fastballs......epic.

[pooterpatty]

Expanding on Alex's idea, we could have tons of different leagues, one to suit every sick fetish - we could have the Midgets League, the Tripping on Acid for the First Time League, the Paranoid Schizophrenics in Shock Collars League, the Naked Coeds League (my guess is this would be most popular), The Bladder Control Problem League, hell the list goes on and on....

[lostylost]

hahaha Midgets League

John Stossel of 20/20 says let athletes use steriods, and makes a pretty good case.

Remember the XFL, wasn't that kinda what Alex and Pooter are referring to. Maybe it's time someone started it up again. Hell there's a lingerie league starting up. You should see some of those lineman. Whose the drag queen around here maybe they could get on as a quarterback.

I'm in the bladder control league. Happens when you get to my age with a prostate the size of a grape fruit.

It bores the hell out of you because it's too slow moving from your statement, "Maybe if a pitcher had a cybernetic arm and could throw 300mph pitches, the game of baseball wouldn't be so bloody boring to watch." It wasn't the way the game was desingned. There is a lot more to it than that, something you obviously don't understand. Anyway, if pitchers could throw 300 MPH then it would be even slower then don't you think? Who would be able to hit such a fast moving target?

Remeber the USFL, WFL (World Football League), ABL, and now Slamball? That name says it all, but they all failed or will fail.

It's all be done before, remember the gladiators? Those guys would die and society is heading toward that same thirst for blood attitude. It's sick IMO, I like the competition of sports the way it is. It doesn't have to take a guy to get killed or even hurt for me. Not saying thats what anyone here wants, but it just seems as though some folks like to see people get hurt and see that as excitement.

I'm in Los Angeles and have been all my life. I've followed the Dodgers since I was a little boy rooting for the likes of Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, Joe Furgeson, Tommy John,& Reggie Smith to name a few. All the while listening to Vin Sculley call the plays over AM radio. The Dodgers organization has changed from a team that used to bring their own homegrown players up threw their own farm club teams, and not fork out millions of dollars for players, and we're successful at it even more than today. I was sad when the O'Malleys sold the team and knew that was the end of that. Now were just like any other team bidding for high dollar players like Manny and you just have to go with it, but with that comes the corruption as money always seems to do to people.

[lostylost]

Off with his head!!!!!!

[Rotund]

Ah Yes I remember "The Penguin"

[Muddhole]

Damn, and to think I came very close to being employed by the Dodgers as a Systems Technician where I would have had a pension from the Dodgers and MLB as well.
