Guilty of obstruction of justice.
Mistrial on 3 remaining counts.
What a crock. :confused: :rolleyes:
-
How exactly can you "obstruct justice" in a case against yourself and be not guilty? :bhead
-
Anyone check out Manny lately?
He quits baseball after testing positive.
That's basically saying "I cannot play baseball good without drugs"
Such great role models we have these days. :bhead
-
who cares, whole thing is a flipping joke anyways. what difference will it make in life, none.

Luis Gonzalez was on the juice in 02 (50+ HR's).

All his records should get an *
REAL heroes don't.
-
He STILL has to make contact with the ball. (No, I'm not defending him, just throwing that out there).

No just delete them. A liar and a cheat.

^^^ This.
Sammy Sosa, Mark Mcguire, Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens, Manny Ramirez, ugh the list goes on and on.
Filthy low-life liars and cheats.
They should be banned from everything that has to do with baseball (No jobs, no hall of fame), and in the case of foreign players they should be deported.

Derek Jeter
I haven't heard this.

Anyone testing for steroids should be stricken from the records, the records were attained from using the steroids, what a black mark on Americas pastime

theres plenty of other black marks, 1919 white sox, pete rose the joyous cocaine teams, cheating pitchers out the arse, corked bats and everyone will be forgotten the same as the steroid guys in years to come.

according to a list nobody has seen. :rolleyes:

No list needed, it's the same scenario as Bonds.

Not quite. Bonds was caught in the Balco investigation. Gonzales name was on the 2003 steroid users list (allegedly). Being on that list doesn't mean you were doing anything illegal at the time. Baseball had some of the worst steroid rules of any sport. We don't even know if his name was actually on the list because it's never been made public.
-
To me this judgment was like the jury saying, "We know you did it, we just didn't have the grounds to convict."
The whole trial was a joke, though. Anderson refuses to testify AT ALL and is jailed for contempt of court. Another witness who heavily damaged the prosecution's case gets down off the stand after testifying and SHAKES HANDS WITH THE DEFENSE TEAM. Barry's not the only one who ought to be nailed for obstruction of justice.

Stats tell it all in Luis's case.

Gonzales had a 300 BA as early as 1993.

Well since you made it a point to qoute me. I never mentioned his batting average. You might want to see what I poined out. Bonds and him are blatantly similar.
-
As a matter of opinion, if steroids are legal than I have no issues with a level playing field for those that want to shorten their lives for fame and fortune. But since steroids are KNOWN to be illegal, then these guys are cheaters and should be removed from ANY records, or at the very least, like some mentioned here, put an * next to the name.

He should have bunted then :banana: :banana:

I don't think folks realize that there are over 100 types of designer steroids that can improve everything including eye/hand coordination.

When did Derek Jeter get cought up in this? Did I miss something??

Just sayin he was a good player before his 2001 breakout year. Because he played in that era and had a spike doesn't make him guilty of steroids. In 2002 he only hit 28 HR's. was he only roiding up for one season then? It's all speculative BS. The only way we will ever know for sure is if MLB releases the list.

ok. The one season in question is the 57 hr season. He nevr came close to the number BEFORE OR AFTER that season. Luis was a great contact hitter and was never known for his power. He was known for his doubles and singles.
Now with barry it is much more blatant. He had one or two full seasons in his career (healthy seasons that is). He had never reached 50 he's in a season. He took them because he was merely trying to play games and his body was hurting.
People forget mcgwire hit 49 hr's his first year as a rookie so the power was always there.
-
Think someone mixed up Jeter with Andy Petitte.
The guilty parties here are MLB and the Players Association for not getting a working drug policy in place.

And thats pretty much the truth, even tho steroids were banned no tests means go for it guys.
As for Luis Gonzalez we watched that guy for years in Houston, it was as blatant as Bonds that he was juiced. Guy was an average stick his whole career then explodes late. You have to have the same IQ as Manny Rameriz to not be able to look at his career numbers and age to see it's your classic steroid explosion. It was most likely his last ditch effort to stay in the league.

Ahhh no, I made a bit of an error on that one. I misplaced Derek Jeter for Alex Rodruigez. A-Rod is the guy I meant to put in that line-up.
Oops. :banana:

Gonzo was on the sauce no doubt about it imo.
At least for a 1-2 year period.
