The World Will End in 2012!!!!

Corwin - Drugs as much!!!!

You see there are NO drugs allowed in World Sport Competitions, none, nada. So can you honestly say that your 11 BEST American MLB players will all pass the test, if not then arguement over.

Baseball, easy, you throw ball in air, I hit ball, nothing to it.

Don yes, but I'm not spreading that word, it's kinda all over the world already, oops I meant in the USA.

Well Eries while youre point has some grounds to it about 10 years ago every team is required to have their players submit drug tests randomly throughout the year especially during investigations where accusations are being made --- the only one who failed a drug test to my knowledge in the last year was Ryan Braun of the Brewers and he was seeking an appeal because he was on medication due to other personal issues in his life.

Hamilton relapsed on his alcoholism but has still not submitted a failed drug test. And the top ten players that i can think of have never failed one in the last decade so I think MLB is doing a good job with keeping drugs out of the sport. Its bad business, its bad for the game, and it's bad for the players.

Baseball also isn't as easy as "throw the ball in the air and hit it with a stick" or however it was you put it. There is a special kind of coordination that is required to throw a ball up into the 90s in MPH and keep it in a forever changing zone (that is also determined by a human element) that is below the chest and above the knees, and with-in arm reach. For most people the box is a 3x3 (feet) box or smaller and you have to over exaggerate where the ball goes to get a strike.

Secondly when you are swinging a bat for contact OR power you have a slim margin for error because on average the time it takes you to blink is about how fast the ball is moving towards you. Most people know which pitch is coming by reading the ball out of the pitchers hand or taking a preemptive swing.

Either way it takes years of dedication and knowledge to even get a base hit.

You know what sport seems to be using drugs a lot? Tour de France Cycling. They just took the 2010 race win away from some guy over doing drugs. And then there's the Lance Armstrong stuff. But still, Tour de France is good cycling race for the best, and I'll look for it this year.

Good stuff, can't wait!

HA HA HA Geesh is it only Don that realized that you should NEVER feed the TROLL, ha ha.

Seriously no issues with it just seeking some sunday conversation.

But yeah, Drugs in Sport is a NO NO, just wonder when you look at World Strongest Man, lol, if they take Drugs away there, the competitors will all look like Popeyes GF.

Anyway, looking forward to some nice sport over here, the New Super Rugby season is starting soon. If you want to watch something where the men are still men, then take a look, easy game to understand and they get very physical!

The world will only end when chuck norris dies lol

I heard that Chuck Norris actually lost cool and round kicked the earth. The shock waves travelled through earth and well ... do you remember the Sumatra earthquake?

I was going through the "stop watching topics" page in personal settings when I recalled this:
