On ESPN they were interviewing Barry Bonds, and he said that the MLB made baseballs softer to make it harder for the pro's to hit homers. This was a pretty stupid move in my view. Steals and RBI's are important to the game, but no one goes to a game to see a player steal a base. They go to see some one smash the ball out of the park.
Actually, I would rather see a pitching duel than a runs duel. I'm one of those people who would rather watch good D than good O.

But in the playoffs I'd much rather prefer a pitching duel. It's just so much more intense and each pitch holds so much more importance. That one wrong pitch could change the entire game around. It really adds more drama than both teams teeing off on the opposing pitchers.
Well well people, the juice talk is heating up more and more. I want to hear your opinions on it. Have at it!
Sheffield and Giambi are also taking a lot of heat. I know a lot of you are Ohio natives, how do you feel about the passing of Marge Schott?

I didn't know about it until you just told me. And now that I know, you wanna know how I feel?..................not the least bit bad. -Bruce Willis in <u>Pulp Fiction</u> No seriously, she was a blatant racist, and in my opinion a bad owner as of late. I didn't care much for her when she was alive, so her passing doesn't effect me. Am I a bad person?
These players are juicin', no question in my mind. With millions of dollars on the line and no real rules against it, I mean why not though? I know thats what players thought, but at least be a man and admit it.
Everyone always knew baseball players were taking drugs, we just didn't know exactly who was taking them. Now we now some of the best players, and many of are romodles are using drugs to improve their game. Knowing this ruins baseball for me. I don't enjoy watching baseball, and ever time a guy hits a home run I know it's because he's on drugs. The MLB needs to do somthing about players using drugs and fast. If they don't get drugs out of the sport many baseball fans, including me, will give up on baseball. It takes the fun out of watching the game. Baseball is a troubled sport right now, and if they ban drug use, which they should, what would happen to the sport. The home run average would go down. Pitching speeds would go down, and countless other aspects of the game. Athletes reliy on drugs, and that is a sad thing. Baseball needs to clean up there act.
The Cleveland Indians traded Milton Bradley to the Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday for one of their top prospects, Franklin Gutierrez and a player to be named later. Gutierrez was the Dodgers minor league player of the year for 2003, and will be expected to open the season at AA-Akron. http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/NASApp/ml...s_cle&fext=.jsp
Jones' homer in ninth lets Twins play on -- and on <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After two nights, 26 innings and nearly nine hours of baseball, the Minnesota Twins have a taxed bullpen and three injured stars. They're also, somehow, still undefeated. Jacque Jones hit a tying two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, and Jose Offerman's bases-loaded single in the 15th gave the Twins a 7-6 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night. "Man, that's too much drama," said center fielder Torii Hunter, who left the game with a strained right hamstring. Minnesota also lost rookie catcher Joe Mauer to a mildly sprained left knee and starting pitcher Johan Santana to spasms in his left forearm.</div> Full Story
