FFS, the spelling is not that hard.

*McGwire*

Yep, that is his name's correct spelling:

Could he have edged out Sammy Sosa to crush Roger Maris' 37-year-old home-run record in 1998 — knocking 70 balls out of the park — even without juicing? Fans will never know.

No. Ginger Pimpleback could not have edged out Sosa in 1998. He would have been average.

yeah, but he was YUGE. He looks like a pudgy HR rep now. Unreal.

That's what steroids does. As soon you stop working out you get that pudge.

Wow you are a homer. Sammy was totally juicing hence the vitillego and the pudge it is unmistakable.

FIFY

Sosa wasn't juicing. Bonds and McGwier were. Nobody cares though - MacGuier still got the publicity.

McGwier was juicing and got caught after the fact (which was a stabbed in the heart) but wasn't Sosa also caught juicing? I remember the corked bat incident before he retired (and honestly, after hearing how almost everyone who was somebody in baseball was juicing in the late 1990s to 2000s a crooked bat isn't that bad in comparison, in my opinion).

The corked bat is not cheating. I repeat the corked bat is not cheating it is just stupid.

Wasn't him and Mark McGwire both juicing during their homerun race couple decades ago?

Yeah.................... McGuire was a legit power hitter before, then he just got stupid
Sosa got caught with a corked bat at an exhibition

exhibition? No it was a regular season game.

They had to tell him that the Dodgers don't play in Brooklyn anymore.

With baited breath, GCF awaits my exuberant response to the news so he can point to my hypocrisy. Well, no dice here, this sucks. They overpaid, at least it's only 3 years but still, damn.

Phillies, free agent Jake Arrieta reportedly agree to three-year, $75 million contract
