Baseball Saying Yes to No

• So it looks like out fearless leader will be playing the toughest golf course at Martha's Vineyard. Shame on him. He should be on vacation! In a bit he'll back in the Oval Office hard at work.

• So Roger Clemens was finally charged. It's always funny to me...much like Al Capone and Martha Stewart, it's never the real offense (taking steriods) but the coverup or lying about it that people get in trouble for. Nevertheless, Clemens took the risks and now has to pay the price.

• Meow,meow..totally agree with meohh, meoww, meh

• So Richie is solely attributing the spate of no-hitters to the downfall of PEDs in baseball ... except that major league players are STILL using PEDs, they've just moved on to undetectable new substances. And PEDs never accounted for the entirety of the inflated offense in baseball. Please let the day arrive when the Greggo/Richie show dies a horrible death.

• More entertaining? Sure, but it goes both ways. Roger Clemens dominating into his 40s was assisted just like when Juando smacked homers in his sleep here. The casual fan may be less entertained, but at least hitting 40 homers in a season means something again unlike the mid-late '90s/early-mid 2000s when it was met with a shrug.

• beisbol no belong to pitcher. beisbol belong to pitcher in 1968 drysdale mcclain, gibson. beisbol lower pitching mound then put in dh then give player steroids so Josie Canseco can car chase wifey. Now we gotta manager and umpire in hall o fame and career hit .249 ex gm / announcer in ranger hall oh fame cause steroid players tainted with clemens a-head and palmerio waggy finger.

• heck, they never really showed the lower half of toonces, anyway plus, he moved as if he had been reanimated by some sort of mad scientist

• meow, meow..good work Bob..meow..like meo--meoonce...Toonces..meow..without the sitting half..meow

• Good call Bob, I loved how Carvey and Jackson would always hand the wheel over to Toonces. A great bit back when SNL was watchable.

• picture half cat being more like toonces, the cat who could drive a car

• Not around here. The Rangers have reportedly been ground zero for steroid use, but when has this club been more entertaining than it is right now? Home runs are overrated anyway. Yeah, its great when someone jacks one out of the park with a couple men on. But when when the rest of the lineup is swinging and missing because they are TRYING to hit home runs, the end product is aweful. I love the approach Clint Hurdle has brought to the team, AND the pitching JD has brought.

• Well thanks Half-Cat. Btw, you're quite intriguing and I'm trying to picture what you look like. Who would you say you resemble the most--Sylvester, Tom, Heatcliffe, or Garfield?

• meow, meow..wonders may never cease..meow..Russel made a quality point..meow other than the one on top of his head..meow..I too thought that the meow, meow..Steroid era ruined basebol..meow..it all started down the hill..meow..with Brady Anderson..meow..throw in Gonzales for the Diamonbacks..meow..and then the meow..meow..blasphemy of Bonds..meow..give me pitching, all meow, meow..day..meow

• I grew tired of all the home runs after the 98 season. That was kind of the peak with Sosa and McGwire chasing Maris. Then it got out of control and downright ridiculous. I'll take the great pitching instead and the leaner, less bulked up batters. It's funny how during the roids era the home run totals were up, but batting averages never really shot up. Nobody ever chased .400, so at least that record is still in tact. I'd like to see another Tony Gwynn year of 1994 or a George Brett of 1980 when they flirted near .400.
