I still don't get how all of these steroid junkies can get a slap on the wrist yet they still won't reinstate Pete Rose.

The new ledger showing he was betting while a player after repeated strong denials may have played a part.

And that's more ban worthy than repeated denials by steroid junkie players after they're caught red-handed?

I wasn't really comparing, just saying his situation got worse.

Regardless whether you feel he cheated or not (which I believe he did), the stats don't lie. The man is third on the all time strikeouts list with 4672, he was an all-star 11 times, he has 354 all-time wins, a lifetime ERA of 3.12, he got the pitching triple crown twice, and he helped the Yankees win 2 World Series titles.

The MLB liked him enough to put him on their All-Century team, even though he's a piece of shit.

All of that is the mark of an awesome pitcher, even if he's a shitty human being.

I fully believe he cheated, it's obvious looking at how he bulked up when steroid use became all the rage, just like when you look at Barry Bonds. And because Clemens cheated, that negates everything he did on the field, at least after he started using. And the sad thing is, just like with Bonds, Clemens didn't need to cheat. he was a great pitcher before the steroids. It's a shame that he had to taint everything he did by cheating. And because he cheated, he is NOT a great player and doesn't deserve the accolades. He needs an asterisk by his stats, just like Bonds does and Sosa, and McGwire do.

I will agree with you on one thing though, he definitely is a piece of shit.

Wow. The Cardinals are within striking distance. I never thought it would get this tight.

20-21 games to go and they all play each other. This is going to be fun. I have Cub Cardinal tickets for next Sunday.

Cubs Magic Number for a playoff spot:

Jake Arrieta became MLB's first 20-game winner of the 2015 season as the Cubs beat the Brewers 4-0 at Wrigley. Jake is the Cubs' first 20-game winner since Jon Lieber's masterful 2001 season on the North Side. Arrieta's line: CG, 9 IP, 11 K, 0 ER. The guy is nails! Kris Bryant had a big night at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a 2-run HR and 3 RBI, and Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-3 with an RBI and 2 runs scored.



I'm about to pee myself with excitement.

Don't get your hopes up for nothing and make me have to tell you 'I told you so' in September/October

Also the Cubs had a lottery for playoff tickets. Everyone I know got rejection emails, but one: ME!

Oh wait... never mind.

I know, it's gonna be tough again this winter for us BoSox fans, they haven't won the World Series in 2 years now, when will the drought end?
