Eh, if you want to make a steroids thread, knock yourself out. Just stay away from low-content nonsense.

Just a general cycling thread would do this would give it a longer life span as what happens when all the talk of steroids in the sport has been exhausted?

I really hope the yankees can do it this year. they havent won the World Series in 8 years. I think they have a great Pitching Staff this year, with Jabba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes.

BTW, Anyone interested in a Scorehero ESPN Fantasy League, PM me.

Hometown was KC, so guess I'm a Royals fan T_T. Yeah, we've been sucking the last decade, but with a new GM and coach and good young players, it looks to be turning around soon

On another note, a few of you know that I play D-1 baseball - well, here's hoping I'll be playing in the majors a few years from now

I'm a big baseball fan, and a huge Phillies fan for life. I think they definitely will make the playoffs this year, and depending on their pitching maybe a world series (PLOX, philly sports need a championship). Chase Utley is my favorite player, and has been ever since I was watching the Phils, and some guy I had never heard of was up to bat (Utley). He had the bases loaded for his first major league at bat, so the pressure was definitely on. Couple minutes later, Grand Slam! And I used to play 2B also so Utley is my favorite. Cole Hamels is awesome, and as long as he doesn't get injured I can see 20 wins for sure. He got 15 last year and had to sit out a month or two, so go figure. Besides them, the Phillies have some other great players like the last 2 MVPs Rollins and Howard, Shane Victorino (young player on the rise), Kyle Kendrick (another great young pitcher, could get 15 wins) and newly acquired closer Brad Lidge. Anyway, playoffs or bust this year. LETS GO FIGHTIN PHILS!

As for roids, I don't really follow the trials that much aside from what I read in Sports Illustrated (and I usually skip over the lengthy steroids articles) because I really don't care. It seems like everyone is using them, even though obviously some aren't. I would almost go as far as saying just legalize them (or a few that aren't as dangerous, if there are any) so that the playing field is level. I definitely have respect for the players that use steroids, since they are obviously more skilled than most at baseball regardless, but I hate the fact that the game is no longer fair.

And on a side MLB note I can't wait for MLB 2k8 coming out this tuesday, I love doing fantasy drafts and leading my franchise of my favorite players to the world series.

I love my Minnesota Twins, but I don't see a good year coming from them. It's disappointing to see my two favorite players (Santana and Hunter) get traded, but when you're a small market club you can only carry so much talent for so long before you can't afford it anymore. I still miss the Johan Santana desktop background that I had on my computer though.

If Liriano can't play much, who is our best starter? Josh Baker? Boof Bonser? We still have some guys in the lineup that can hit, but if we're giving up 8 runs every other night it's not gonna matter a whole lot. I'd like to be more optimistic than this, but I see a bad year a real possibility.
