John Rocker says "Baseball was a better game with steroids"

[Pepe Silvia]

LOL This guy should have kept his mouth shut for the last 15 years.

That's definitely true. Makes what guys like Pedro Martinez and Greg Maddux did during those years really amazing.

[Setsuna]

It was more entertaining. It probably made it so wildly popular as well.

[Duck Dog]

Rocker is correct.

It's funny, the media and their willing minions always ripped Rocker, but everything he said was 100% true. And this is no different.

I just dropped $180 for two tickets to a game tomorrow. The last thing I want to see is some boring ass pitchers duel.

John Rocker = Kenny Powers

The thing is it's illegal to do drugs such as steroids so unless the laws change, they should go to jail with out passing go & without collecting $200.

The thing is a lot of them had prescriptions from crooked doctors so its not illegal. It's just against baseball rules.

Also, you might as well just put a * by everyone's name.

I haven't read the thread because someone posted a picture the size of Alabama in here and it's taking time to load, but he's right. The game was better with steroids. And everyone had access to them, so AFAIC it was equal footing. The HR chases were epic. That said, who doesn't respect Cabrera's triple crown more than anything Sosa or McGuire did?

[Setsuna]

Cabrera takes Extenze, he needs to be banned from baseball.

[CoMoChief]

John Rocker is right.

Baseball was the shit in 98. The game should be thanking those 2...not preventing them from being voted into the HOF because of ****in steroids. jfc who gives a shit.

[Psyko Tek]

to me MLB is less exciting than wnba and arena football

but I did like seeing the mcgwuire sosa HR chase
never watched a game just read about 2 guys saying great things about each other whiler trying to beat each other
thought they were classy
while being cheating low do mothers

[KC_Connection]

What's the issue here? Football is a much more entertaining sport to watch with guys on PEDs and so was/is baseball.

This. Even politicians just say they care to make themselves look good in the public eye. On the whole, does anybody truly gives a shit about PED use in pro sports these days?

Assuming they didn't use anything either, of course.

[MahiMike]

Society needs more John Rockers.

Greg maddux threw 88-93 mph. I don't know how foods would have helped him. Do foods effect pitch I g placement?
