Asterisks don't make any sound.

You're right, they don't.

They also don't make any difference...
They don't unhit any homeruns...
They don't change what happened on the field...
Nor do they change the numbers recorded in the books...

All they really seem to do is appease the angry mob that is frothing at the mouth to villify a man who hit baseball's for a living...because he doesn't conform to their expectations in how he should lead his life.

Enjoy the asterisk, it's all you got. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]


bingo, bango, bongo...762 and counting.

Asterisks don't... but as Barry and friends have proven to us, steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs can make a difference.

Schilling is a loud-mouth putz, but he certainly had it right one time this year (to paraphrase): Bonds cheats on his wife, cheats on his taxes and cheats the game. It's a shame that one of the best players in baseball history went down that path.

Bing, Bong, look at the big head....

My head is the same size as his and it makes me upset every time someone says he has a large head.

Oddly enough, Schilling also claimed that Barry admitted steroid use to the GJ in making those comments....to which he had to issue a retraction when he discovered he was wrong.....like many, he was just uninformed.

Even more ironic, it was less than a month after he criticized the media for making false statements about him, and how "it wasn't fair."

Oops...

And it says alot that Schilling is so concerned about what Barry does with his women and his money off the field....because he couldn't do a damn thing to stop what he does on the field.

Redbean, you are probably the best person to ask about this, but if anyone knows, is there somewhere I can get a list of every MLB player (or any person who has ever had time in the majors) who has been caught using steroids or some PED, and then could you also tell me if there is some site or source that would have player versus player splits for at least the last ten years or so? I'm interested in a little project, I'll do all the legwork but I honestly dont really know how to get started.

EDIT: Apparently wiki has a list of players suspended for steroids. I just need the player v. player splits if that exists somewhere.

Well, in case anyone wants to know, Bonds is 11/45 against known steroid users in his career. Not as many ABs as I was hoping for.
