A- Roid

[GOSD]

I'm not all that convinced of what A-Rod sees in Madonna, with the knowledge that Jeter was one of her playthings once upon a time.

Quite possibly the fact that she lets you get shit faced and blow your load all over her face more than once an hour? The fact she probably sucks all the cum out of you for days? The fact she probably lets you fuck her and one of her friends at the same time?

No... absolutely no idea why someone wouldn't want to hang out with Madonna just for one month of your life.

In othr Rodriguez steroid news - they're going to nail Pudge as well........

SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla. (AP)—Ivan Rodriguez looked as feisty as ever, explaining why he’s physically and mentally ready to play baseball.

The 14-time All-Star catcher, though, is still looking for a place to play.

Rodriguez said he might sign soon with the Florida Marlins, Houston Astros or New York Mets.

Or, he might need to stay patient.

“I don’t know where I’m going to play, but a team is going to win the lotto when I sign,” Rodriguez said Sunday night in an interview with The Associated Press. “I still feel I can play three or four more years, to be honest, because of the way I take care of myself.”

The way Rodriguez took care of himself in the past has been questioned, most notably by former teammate Jose Canseco.

Rodriugez’s mood changed when that subject was broached during a wide-ranging interview in his 44th-floor apartment overlooking Miami Beach.

Is the 37-year-old star known as Pudge on the list of 104 players who tested positive for steroids during baseball’s 2003 survey?

“Only God knows,” Rodriguez said softly.

Canseco, a former teammate in Texas, has alleged he injected the steroids into Rodriguez.

Another former teammate, Alex Rodriguez, recently said he used performance-enhancing drugs while with the Rangers.

“Alex is a great guy, he’s the best player in baseball and he’s going to be OK,” Ivan Rodriguez said. “People don’t know how hard he works.”

Alex Rodriguez said the culture of the game was different when he used drugs to improve his performance.

Ivan Rodriguez begrudgingly agreed.

“It happened and everybody has to move forward,” he said.

Looking back, no one can match some of feats that Ivan Rodriguez has accomplished since his career began in 1991 with the Rangers.

He is the only player in baseball history with at least 13 Gold Gloves and a career .300 average or better.

He has three more Gold Gloves, earning one as recently as 2007, give him three more than Johnny Bench and almost double the total by Bob Boone, who is third on the list. Among position players, only Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson has more Gold Glove awards.

Rodriguez has caught 2,173 games, trailing only Carlton Fisk (2,226) and Boone (2,225) in terms of longevity behind the plate.

“Absolutely, I’d like to break Mr. Fisk’s record,” he said. “And, another goal is 3,000 hits.

“But really, my love of the game of baseball is what motivates me to work out five days a week to stay ready.”

Rodriguez, who has 2,605 career hits, would likely have to play a few more seasons to join the 3,000-hit club.


Ivan Rodriguez takes questions…

AP - Feb 15, 8:15 pm EST
And, he’d have to play much better than he did last season.

Rodriguez hit .295 in 82 games last season for the Detroit Tigers, then finished with a .276 batting average after struggling at the plate with the New York Yankees.

The Tigers dealt Rodriguez, who sparked the turnaround when he signed with them in 2004 after helping Florida win the World Series, and didn’t re-sign him because they didn’t think he was a No. 1 catcher and knew he disagreed.

“I still think I’m an everyday catcher and that’s one of the things that disappoints me when I hear people say I can’t play every day or I’m a part-time player,” Rodriguez said with piercing eyes as the Atlantic Ocean crashed on the beach and dusk led to orange, yellow and shades of gray to fill the sky. “People don’t know how hard it was on me to go through a divorce from my wife of 15 years and how much that drained me physically and mentally.

“But now, I’ve been happily married for two years to a great woman, my kids are great, my ex-wife is good. I just want to play baseball because I know I have a lot left in me.”

While Rodriguez can’t hit like he did in the past, his play behind the plate is still strong. His caught-stealing percentage ranked third in the AL last season after ranking fifth and first the previous two years, among catchers with a minimum of 600 innings behind the plate, according to STATS.

Rodriguez is excited to play for Puerto Rico at the World Baseball Classic next month, but he’s eager to join a Major League Baseball team.

“It’s hard to be sitting here at home a few days after pitchers and catchers reported,” Rodriguez said. “I hear Florida, Houston and the Mets are trying to do some things to sign me.

“I would love to be with any team right now, but I can get ready quick because of the way my body and mind are prepared to play right now.”

Albert Pujols - Roid or Not?

Is there any doubt?

No, there isn't.

[War Wagon]

Dude, why do you always pick the most monumentally trivial and lame battles to (poorly) fight? What's with you and these nit picky little hit and run episodes?

Isn't there somewhere you'd rather be? Isn't there yet another person you need to be calling a "racist piece of shit fuckstain," or some other similarly brilliant little sobriquet?

chuckle

No Van, there isn't.

But while we're at it, why would YOU spend one minute debating a JV team poster... ad nauseum? I mean, it's one thing to level a few drawn out blasts, but at some point it becomes overkill. You don't need a sledgehammer to swat flies.


So just grit your teeth next time and say to yourself over and over...

Must. Not. Respond.

[Van]

WW, you speak 'um truth. Sage advice.

In general I've always made it a policy of sorts to respond to people who post to me. This goes all the back to '99 and Valvenis and all sorts of other obvious trolls.

Responding back and forth is what drives a message board, ya' know?

I have made some exceptions, such as the really bad trolls who genuinely have nothing worthwhile to say.

TVO typically isn't in that category. Or, at least he didn't used to be. There was a time (before he got his law degree, basically) when he was a legitimate poster. Unfortunately though his only reason for posting these days is to call people names and otherwise add nothing besides petty hit and run attacks. He never starts threads. He never engages in real discussions. Like m2 he's prone to answering questions with self serving riddles, as opposed to simply standing and delivering with real answers.

So, yeah, on occasion I now do ignore him. Not always, certainly, but sometimes.

I've also taken to ignoring m2's worst trolling efforts. I'll stick with the discussion for awhile but once he loses the plot I go ahead and let him run his wayward course.

A guy like Birdy (or GOSD...same thing), of course I'd ignore that one note debacle as well.

By and large though most people will receive a response and as long as the discussion remains alive in some real way I'll usually hang in there.

[Rack Fu]

I think someone should test Robert Plant for steroids. Look at the size of his noggin:

[smackaholic]

Wonder if he's bangin' the shit out of allison?

He ought.

[Moving Sale]

I said Mt Tam was west of SR and north of the 101, as the 101 heads down from SR into the GGB.

Mt Tam is not north of SR EVER! How fucking dumb are you?

Come to think of it, I also said the 101 is north of Mt Tam, when it's...north of Mt Tam. It's north of Mt Tam quite a bit.

Not as you leave SR it's not.

Dude, why do you always pick the most monumentally trivial and lame battles to (poorly) fight?

YOU were the one that brought it up in this thread you sanctimonious shitstain.

What's with you and these nit picky little hit and run episodes?

I have never run from you or anyone else on this board. Care to lie about something else?

Isn't there somewhere you'd rather be? Isn't there yet another person you need to be calling a "racist piece of shit fuckstain," or some other similarly brilliant little sobriquet?

Yes there was. Sorry it took so long to get back to you but I was walking a client on a receiving charge.

Unfortunately though his only reason for posting these days is to call people names and otherwise add nothing besides petty hit and run attacks. He never starts threads. He never engages in real discussions.

A)I have not changed my style. I just never called YOU a POS 'cause I never posted to you.
B) Do you even KNOW what hit and RUN means?
C) I have never started many threads. Not SC1, not in SC11, not in SC111, not on Conduct's board, Not here, Not ever.
D) Not my fault that you can't follow even the simplest of ideas. You can't even read "99% dead" without reading "dead." You can't even read a map and then translate what you saw into English... and *I* never engage in real discussions?

Hypocrisy they name is Van.

[Moving Sale]

... a JV team poster... [/i]

Projection much you vapid fucktard?

[Van]

I said Mt Tam was west of SR and north of the 101, as the 101 heads down from SR into the GGB.

Mt Tam is not north of SR EVER!

Agreed. That's why I've said it's west of SR, a half dozen times.

It's north of the 101, not SR, and its only north of the 101 once the 101 dips down into the SF Bay.

How fucking dumb are you?

Very, apparently, for continuing to do this with you, despite your obvious inability to read and comprehend.

Come to think of it, I also said the 101 is north of Mt Tam, when it's...north of Mt Tam. It's north of Mt Tam quite a bit.

Not as you leave SR it's not.

Agreed.

Unfortunately though his only reason for posting these days is to call people names and otherwise add nothing besides petty hit and run attacks. He never starts threads. He never engages in real discussions.

A)I have not changed my style.

Yes, you have. In Days Of Yore you were capable of civilized, lengthy discussion. You didn't merely drop in to lob the same gratuitous insults as your sole reason for ever posting, which is now the case.

You're just too close to the trees ( ) to see the forest.

[KC Scott]

Albert Pujols - Roid or Not?

Is there any doubt?

No, there isn't.

Yea, - He went to Ft. O, same HS as my oldest ( 5 yrs. earlier) and he was a pretty scrawny kid from most accounts Jack has heard. The fact that he's Dominican would seem to lump him right in there with the rest of the "I didn't know what I was gettin Shot up" with crowd.

[Moving Sale]

I Mt Tam is west of SR and north of the 101, as the 101 heads down from SR into the GGB.

It's north of the 101, not SR, and its only north of the 101 once the 101 dips down into the SF Bay.

Those two sentences mean two different things you vapid fuck.

[Van]

No, they don't, you repetitive fuck. The second sentence merely expands on and clarifies the first.

I did however miss the apostrophe on the second "it's," so you could've gone for that.

[Moving Sale]

You are funny Van. You profess to be loquacious and articulate and yet you can't see that those two sentences mean different things?
Let me help you.
"Mt Tam is west of SR and north of the 101, as the 101 heads down from SR into the GGB."
Or Mt Tam is north of the 101 as the 101 heads out of SR on its way to the GGB
Or Mt Tam is north of SR

"It's north of the 101, not SR, and its only north of the 101 once the 101 dips down into the SF Bay."
Or Mt Tam is not north of SR

You are one dumb fuck.

[Moving Sale]

So you agree with Van that those two sentences mean the same thing.

You are an idiot.

[Moving Sale]

A white flag would have worked just as well you dodging fuckhole.

[Van]

TVO, if you knew what the word meant you'd know I didn't "profess" to being loquacious here on this board. I admitted to it.

See, it's not something about which one would typically brag.

I also never claimed I was articulate. I only claimed you aren't, and that I write a lot better than you do, at least as evidenced by your submissions here on these message boards.

Come to think of it though, yes, now that you brought it up I will profess to being reasonably articulate.

Case in point...

I know what "course" means, as in "a course leading down from SR into the SF Bay." See, this would indicate that this freeway actually occupies more than one set of coordinates on a map. At one point, say, as it passes through SR, it's located east of Mt Tam. However, once its course winds its way down into SF Bay it's now south of Mt Tam.

This is how one freeway can actually be both east and south and even north of a fixed location on a map, such as...a mountain.

You seem to be the only bitch here who can't seem to grasp such a simple concept. You're not truly a stupid person so I know the reason isn't that you're not bright enough to grasp such a concept. No, the likely reason is your nascent lawyer's dick gets hard merely from pursuing this nonsensical game and now you just can't stop yourself from fanning your turgid little flame...

[LTS TRN 2]

Van, I really don't want to get involved in your pissing contest, but please...Mt. Tam is SOUTH of Santa Rosa, not west. It is however west of highway 101 as the good speed trap winds by Mill Valley and then...turn off and go a mile or two up Laurel Canyon Rd., and, no bullshit, you will pass by the nondescript but pricey hillside shack that belongs to Steve Perry. Yes, that Steve Perry. Keep going and you'll be on top of Mt. Tam etc..

"Don't stop belieeeeving!"

[Van]

Nick, in this case when TVO and I refer to "SR" we're referring to San Rafael, not Santa Rosa...

[LTS TRN 2]

Well, you'll still probably want to go croon outside Steve's pad, right?

[Blueblood]

Nick, in this case when TVO and I refer to "SR" we're referring to San Rafael, not Santa Rosa...

Mt. Tam is south of San Rafael... not north.

I've documented this many times with photos, since I drive by it on the 101 twice a day, 5 days a week.

[Van]

Nick, no, not particularly, but I did meet Neil Schon once. He said my guitar was "bitchin'." Will that suffice, in terms of playing the Six Degrees Of Journey game?

[barack is GOD]

This is very sad.

I used to like the New York Junkies... when they were the Yankees.

Clemens - juiced.
Petitte - Juiced
Giambi - juiced
Sheffield - juiced

and now
A- Rod!!

Barack will also clean up baseball.... you just keep your eyes crossed! He will make all bad things good!

The Junkies will not be Junkies forever!!
