Would you at least have the decency to start a "Part Deux" thread on this Man Crush of yours? Makes it easier on JoltinJoe.

Did Papi just hit a 2 run homer tonight....

Yes he did

Like most of the talk shows are saying, his records mean nothing to most people, just like Bury Bonds.

Well, to people who don't want him inside of them, at least.

Well played wee-tag!

"Shooting up" is very proper in this case. Makes your pecker smaller as WKUhillhound used to say.

[dbackjon]

hit #690 last night

[dbackjon]

Passed Pete Rose for #7 on All-time Total Bases

#691, #692

Looks like pretty soon we'll have a juicer passing the juicers! Impressive.

22 away from Ruth (clean), 63 from Aaron (clean), and 70 from Bonds (juicer).

Gotta love it when cheaters diminish some of the most hallowed records in a great game.

Neither Ruth or Aaron were clean, just had different drugs in their system.


And both benefited from having ballparks built or altered to fit their home-run swing. Had Atlanta not moved the fences in, Aaron would have not passed Ruth. And if Ruth hadn't played in a ballpark built for his swing, he wouldn't have hit as many as he did, either.

Compared to a guy who spent a majority of his career in Arlington, Yankee Stadium and Yankee Stadium II

The top three:

Hank Aaron: 2297 - Got his numbers due to speed and fences moved in
Babe Ruth: 2214 - Got his numbers due to stadium built to his swing
Alex Rodriguez: 2076* - Got his numbers without having stadium built for swing.

Fixed it for ya.

Fixed that again

Huh? He's playing in probably one of the easiest parks ever to get numbers in now. The current Yankee Stadium is almost little league in dimensions. There've been numerous broken bat home runs in that place, it's a joke. If Aaron or Ruth played in the current version they'd be close to 1000 career homeruns even without the steroids. Terrible argument.
