<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (WELCOMEtotheJUNGLE @ Apr 23 2007, 04:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Exactly</div>That's not really the point, if they had rigged the draft in NY's favour then it changed a lot of teams futures. The Knicks not winning anything doesn't really matter. It's like an athlete using drugs and not winning a big medal, you wouldn't say it was alright that they cheated just because they didn't win.
Yes you would. Nobody cares about half the baseball players that use roids because they suck anyway. barroid has a shot at the record, that's the only reason we care so much about that ***hole.

The baseball thing is more clouded because of what is and isn't banned, although I would still want anyone braking the rules to be banned right away.

So since he has yet to be found 100% gilty everyone should give it a rest.Show me 100% proov then I might think diff.I still would probably injoy watching him even if there was 100% proov that he used steroids.

Many people have come out against him and his trainer was linked with BALCO. Not to mention one year he's hitting like 30 a year, then suddenly his body is twice as big(specially his head) and he's jacking up 74?

And he could have used him, but unless I can see that he did 100% what happened to inocent until proven guilty?

In every single one of those seasons he got over 30 ABs more than 2001. More at bats and more games= more home runs right? Apparantly not.I went through and checked the home runs per at bat ratio:1986- .03871987- .04531988- .04461989- .03271990- .06351991- .04901992- .07201993- .08531994- .09461995- .06521996- .08121997- .07511998- .06701999- .09572000- .10212001- .15342002- .11412003- .11542004- .12062005- .11902006- .07082007- .1346You can see it stays under .07 till 1992, and only in 1995 did it dip back under. And starting in 1999, the number got quite high, .095 and didn't dip back under until 2006, which was a season after injuries. I suppose you can draw your own conclusionsAnd lol at serge and I both thinking he had 74. MLB.com says he had 73.
Well I just don't like saying someone did something unless I can see 100% proof that's just how I am.But Yeah I don't follow baseball much did not like it REALLY until like 3 years ago.So I can't say much about Barry of before he got all big.
