    Is there a doubt in anyones mind that Jose Bautista is on something?

    It looks weird, but it's too early to judge. He's passed all the tests, right? Maybe he just finally figured it all out.

    Yeah....59 career home runs in 1700 at bats, 50 home runs in around 500 at bats. Seems a bit strange to me. Definitely seems strange to me.
    The guy hit 10 of his 13 home runs last year in one month. That would mean he's been juicing for the last year and still hasn't been caught. There's only three reason why that would happen; he's not on something, he's very lucky, or he is on something they don't test for.

    What month was that out of curiousity? I mean, he has passed all his tests, I just dont get how a 30 year old ball player can have a jump like that so quickly.

    September, the one and only month he received regular playing time that season. The guy's just having a lucky season. He's a dead pull hitter and pitchers have been dumb enough to leave it in his wheel house.

    I read something during spring training about how bautista comlpetely changed his swing. During the year he has admitted that his load and ability to see the ball have made all the difference.

    He doesn't look bigger physically, but what do I know. Definitely a weird phenomenon

    Bautista's body shape has not changed at all, hence, no more muscle mass from last year to this, so no

    it's a combination of fluke/outlier year, confidence from playing everyday, adjusting in swing, and Cito

    greatness


    Toronto Blue Jays centerfielder Vernon Wells scrawled a ballpoint pen message on a baseball and lobbing it at a heckler. The message read: "Dear Mr. Dork, Here is your ball! Can you please tell me what gas station you work at, so when you are pumping my gas, I can yell at you!!! Now sit down, shut up and enjoy the game. Your favorite centerfielder (Canadian spelling), Vernon Wells."

    This shit is hilarious, although it is about 2 years old (maybe last year).

    Griffey gave a dude who was heckling him his jock strap in LA.

    Now everyone knows there pulling in $150M before anything else. Phillies gambled on themselves and they keep ad revenue from TV broadcasts, so it's a mystery how much they have to spend. Very interesting.

    We shall see. Yanks can still outbid anyone, just depends on how high they are willing to go.
