In response to "Why does that suck? -- nm" by Will Hunting

Because it's hypocrisy.

Posted by musubi Jan 11 '10, 13:17

He is neither the first, nor only one to use. If he didn't get in because of his play, I can accept that.

I have come to terms with roiding, it happened, it was ugly, but it was ultimately the same as amphetamines in the 60s and 70s and those didn't destroy the game.

    - Then how do you know who *was* doing it? The only way to know is if people are open and honest. - musubi Jan 11, 13:26 2

        That's why I think it sucks. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 13:33

Well, with this admission, he won't get in becuase of his play. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 11, 13:17 8

  - I don't even think McGwire was that good before. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 13:23 6
    - You are just wrong there. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 13:28
    - maybe not tippy top; but, iirc, he went to the all-star games early on and got some mvp votes.-- nm - b. Jan 11, 13:27 4
      - Becuase he was a long ball hitter. That doesn't make him good hitting .230 - Will Hunting Jan 11, 13:29 2
        
        looking at his numbers overall... he was good enough. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 11, 13:34
        
        You're tying his worth to his batting average, when clearly on-base is the more important stat? - musubi Jan 11, 13:32
      - .235 with 49 homers and 100 walks was a fine season in 1989. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 13:28
