    Tonight Albert Pujols hit 2 HRs including HR #500 The 26th player to reach that milestone.

    Hall of fame?

    I don't think he's dirty... just like I hold firm to the view that Griffey Jr. wasn't dirty

    I will say Pujols's numbers have always been pretty consistent from day one. Griffey Jr. had one of the greatest swings I've ever seen. Just never healthy for most of the last ten years of his career. God knows what numbers he would've ended up with if his body held up.

    Or maybe there's a reason his body DIDN'T hold up.

    Does anyone remember speculation of Albert using HGH, during the first World Baseball Classic?

    Although one can't live or die with pure speculation, and HGH is tested for in the WBC, much like the Olympic Athletes. Yet, I don't recall any fellow players hinting that Albert was dirty. Usually it is a BB peer, who rats out another.

    I'd have to say, Albert will be a Hall of Famer, provided his past stays clean. After all, he would of garnered quit a 5 MVP awards, in lieu of his 3 MVP awards, had a tainted dirty roid abuser-Balco Barry- of not been awarded those MVP's

    Oh, Lance....wait he said he didn't do anything, so he must be telling the truth eh? NOT, LMAO.

    What a National embarrasment. I wonder if Lance is filling UPS trucks with parcels these days. He will need some extra testosterone to continue lifting those packages when he's 70 years old, his new found career....HooYah..!!

    Here's your Hall of Roids... (Bold is my vote for starter)

    C - Ivan Rodriguez (Accused by Canseco, saying he injected Rodriguez when both players played for the Rangers), Todd Hundley, Jim Leyritz, Jesus Montero (Bosch)
    1B - Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Jason Giambi, Wally Joyner
    2B - Brian Roberts (Mitchell Report), Chuck Knoblauch (Linked to McNamee)
    SS - Miguel Tejada, Jhonny Peralta (Bosch)
    3B - A-Rod, Ken Camaniti, Randy Velarde, Matt Williams
    LF - BARRY BONDS, Ryan Braun
    CF - Melky Cabrera, Lenny Dykstra
    RF - Sammy Sosa, Manny Ramirez (despite being a Yankee killer, I had to go with Sammy), Jose Canseco, Gary Sheffield, Nelson Cruz
    DH - Shrek, Mo Vaughn
    SP - Roger Clemens
    SP - Andy Pettitte
    SP - Bronson Arroyo
    SP - Bartolo Colon
    SP - Kevin Brown, Paul Byrd, and countless others
    RP - Eric Gagne, John Rocker, Rafael Betancourt, Ryan Franklin, Felix Heredia, Mike Stanton

    fwiw, here's a good starting point with players associated to PEDs... http://baseball.about.com/od/majorleagueplayers/a/drugplayers.htm

    They weren't on the links I saw, but I still think neither would be a starter at their positions...

    That's easy... Joyner wasn't a head case with balls so Joyner can be the ball boy & knobby the bat boy..
