Also, the Marlins are interested in Yoenis Cespedes – 6 feet and 215 pounds – played for Cuba in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. He reportedly hit 33 home runs in 90 games during the 2010-11 season, tying the single-season record in Cuba's top league, Serie Nacional.

you missed the point ... it's not about taking steroids ... i actually could care less that any of those guys took steroids at the time ... the rules were vague and there was fame and money to be had ...
the issue i have tho is when it came time to come clean and admit that they took em ... well, that's the morality test they failed ... pretty much all of them lied to protect their ego ... some guys did the no response thing which basically said "yes, i took the drugs but i'm not gonna admit it cuz i don't want to go to jail" ... but bonds - he flat out lied and made up some shitty story ...
that's the parallel i'm talking about ...0 -

Cool thanks. I didnt know much about what level of skill baseball is in Cuba. Looks like he's got potential, but not ready. Thanks for that report.Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)0 -

you're right....they failed a morality test of sorts. I'm just jaded in that whenever ANYBODY gets caught with their hands in the cookie jar.....politicians, CEOs, celebrities, athletes, etc....99% of them lie. it's just a sad commentary on society as a whole. and the steroids guys probably don't even belong in the discussion because, unlike politicians and CEOs, their lies didn't really harm anyone...unless you count the snivelers who cry "my summer of 1998 was stolen from me!!!" :roll:

Matt Kemp is about to get paid. 8 years $160 mil it sounds like.0

It seems like the sale of the Astros will be voted on when the owners meet next week and the team will move to the AL West in 2013. I hate the idea of 2 15-team leagues. If having the same number of teams in each league is so important, why did they bother expanding to 30 teams in the first place (that's rhetorical--I know the answer is $$$ from the entrance fee for expansion teams)? I just don't want to deal with interleague play every day of the season. It's nice to have it for a few weeks, but I think they'll find that interleague games won't draw as much of a crowd when they aren't condensed into a specific timeframe--especially since they schedule the "marquee" matchups for weekends when attendance is always higher anyway. Once it stops being economically advantageous to have interleague play, what will the owners do?0

On a related note, the Dogers announced that all home games will be day games. They can't afford Kemp AND electricity.Cliffy6745 wrote:Matt Kemp is about to get paid. 8 years $160 mil it sounds like.0
