Congrats on the back-to-back wins though. That's impressive against the Braves.

If Evan Gattis played in LA.. They'd have named a street after him and he'd be known, globally.

No, you referred to Francour as being White, and I asked what color was trout. Hes White. Get the comparison genius.........

If Bonds hadn't juiced, he would of been the only member of the 500/500 club. He also was a 4 time MVP before he started juicing, and was already one of the best players in the league. The reason he wasn't recognized as such was he is an Asshole, and didn't play nice with the media like Griffey. Barry Bonds was every bit of the player that Junior was, and a better hitter.

Either is a goner. By putting Puig in rf instead of center is the writing on the wall. Once Kemp comes back he goes to center and there is not a spot for Dre.
No way in hell can they justify sending Puig back down. |

Ethier has never been anything more than a solid starter in his best years. That contract was absolutely asinine.

Ken Griffey Jr, in his first 5 years, hit for higher average, had better numbers overall, and was the best defensive outfielder in the game.

That being said... He was not the hitter Barry Bonds was...pre or (obviously) post steroids. His swing was the most beautiful thing in sports...but Bonds was ALWAYS the better hitter. ALWAYS. |

from 1992 to 2007 Barry Bonds' lowest .OPS (the most important metric to determine how good of a hitter someone is) was .999.
Griffey only had an .OPS over 1.000 4 times and was only over .900 TWICE from 2000-2010. and here is my best Barry Bonds proof that steroids didn't suddenly turn him from star to superstar...that he was always superstar 1993: 129/46/123 .336/.458/1.136 (29 SBs) 1994: (Strike Season) 37 HR's in 112 games He was raking better than Miguel freaking Cabrera in 1993. He was on pace for like 55 HR's in 1994. Barry Bonds was always the best in the game. Steroids just turned him into a guy that somehow managed to get on base 61% of the time in a single year |

and as much as I love Griffey (and I do), his WAR from 2000-2010 was BARELY above replacement level most seasons.
Griffey was a sensation in the 90s. He was then washed up for 10 years. I'm happy he (and Frank Thomas) didn't succomb to peer pressure and roid up... but I can also respect the best roider in the roid era...Barry Bonds was ****ing awesome. |
