    If they want more offense they should tamper with more urine samples
    Ask Ryan Braun bout that

    Like i said previously. PEDs should be mandated not banned

    What about the past 15 years where the game become the second most international sport in the world?

    It followed with Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Dirk, Hakeem, David Robinson, The young Tmac, AI, and Vince Carter. Were some extremely talented players that boosted the NBA.

    There have been good players in every sport the past 25 years. That argument is foolish.

    I don't like it, but I prefer that everyone either has it or doesn't; an even playing field. It is a fucking joke that two leagues of the same game have a major difference.

    Imagine if the Western Conference in the NBA had a college three point line and the East had the regular. It is a fucking joke.

    Any commissioner could have grown the NBA like he did if in the same situation, he was also involved in some fuck ups others wouldn't have let happen

    I'm still stunned that this is actually being talked about as a legit idea.

    It is a bit head shaking that this srategy could possibly become an illlegal part of the game...I say 'never' to it, and get the pitcher's back hitting in the AL. Fuck the fans who can't deal with guys like Clayton when they pitch, and give up minimal runs. Too bad if they want to see an 8-7 game instead of 2-1.
    And if they take away a bunch of LH hits by employing a defensive shift, then the hitter's must learn how to go the other way. Adapt or die.
    And fuck Big Papi.

    Maybe, maybe not. He was the only one with the chance and he thrived. And almost every "fuck up" was non-consequential in the long run.

    If this guy is already throwing around an idea like this, then it's only a matter of time before the DH is in the NL.

    Depressingly you may be soberingly correct, Mouse.
    If so, he should be crucified on the Tree of Woe.
    I'll never look at BB the same way again if it happens. Much will be gone, for me anyway.

    you're sick. Buss brought entertainment to the league before Jordan was in it..before Stern was commish.

    and no the league hasn't slipped since Jordan retired..viewership has just expanded. there's now like 35 different cooking networks and that kinda shit.

    the league is just fine when a team like the Lakers sign a 3 billion dollar TV deal and the Clippers get sold for 2 billion.

    We all pretty much grew up watching NL ball, but they either need to implement a DH in the NL or have no DH at all. Too unfair when constructing a roster. NL faces disadvantages with that.

    I like that the leagues have a different rule...with stupid interleague play it's the only thing left that separates them.

    manfred has been pretty underwhelming so far
    pissed me off how he was recently rallying for wrigley to get an all star game since they hadn't had one in 25 years
    and yet somehow he neglected to mention — or worse, didn't know — that we haven't had one in 35 years

    he better be careful or he'll get a smiley :nono:
