you got me!

(btw, I only posted that because I find it "INTERESTING", not out of home team oneupsmanship)(but I've long been a fan of JD generally)

two weeks pass...

Pujols has equalled his season-high HR tally with 46.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:04 (nineteen years ago)

He is on the juice, plus he's old!

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:12 (nineteen years ago)

Haha @ Justin Gaitlin foreshadowing upthread circa 5/22.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:20 (nineteen years ago)

foreshadowing my ass, that story was old already

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:23 (nineteen years ago)

no, he broke the record. and then was caught a month or two later. hmmm sort of like that tour de france dude whose name i can't even remember anymore oh yes I can floyd landis.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:25 (nineteen years ago)

Pujols HR:2B ratio:

pre-AS break: 29:10
post-AS break: 17:21

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:27 (nineteen years ago)

"In 2001, Gatlin was banned from international competition for two years after testing positive for amphetamines. Gatlin appealed on the grounds that the positive test had been due to medication that he had been taking for a number of years for attention deficit disorder, with which he was diagnosed as a child. The appeal resulted in an early reinstatement by the IAAF."

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 04:50 (nineteen years ago)

what's his ratio pre-oblique strain and post-oblique strain?

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 04:51 (nineteen years ago)

Pujols I mean, not Gatlin

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 04:51 (nineteen years ago)

Oh I see, Haikunym. You didn't know about this which happened last month:

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

Oh Shastapaws

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, Steve Shasta, I did know about that. That's why I said it was old news and then posted a piece from a news story from 2001 that backed up my position. Jesus Christ almighty man.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

WTF? I think you're being thick here, Matt. Follow the timeline:

6.17.2001 = Justin Gatlin suspended 2 years for testing positive to banned substances.
7.30.2002 = IAAF reinstates Gatlin due to the nature of the offense ("unknowing effect of ADD medication")
4.22.2006 = Gatlin is tested after a relay race in Lawrence, KS.
5.12.2006 = Gatlin sets World Record in Qatar.
5.22.2006 = Steve Shasta scans Sports Illustrated
5.22.2006 = Steve Shasta posts doubtful post about Gatlin's legitimacy
7.29.2006 = USADA publishes results of Gatlin's 4.22.2006 test = positive for banned substances.
8.22.2006 = IAAF bans Gatlin for 8 years due to second positive test.
9.18.2006 = Haikunym denies any foreshadowing in Shasta's 5.22 post with regard to the events of 7.29-8.22 as they were "old news already".
9.19.2006 = Message board drama escalates to C-scale level post exchanges, feathers ruffled, will be forgotten in 24 hours.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

9.18.2006 = Pujols has equalled his season-high HR tally with 46.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

C-scale level post exchange: shasta vs haikunym, blount vs the board on the pete rose thread

B-scale: john vs the board on the old yanqui-bashing threads, the "White Sox: great or lucky" debates of 2005

A-scale: the steroid threads

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

A-scale = the spammer of 2004, k3rry k3@n3, LEEE being served a restraining order to keep away from Billy Mueller.

I object on the basis that none of those were "post-exchanges" between ILB regulars.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

Steve Shasta I am extremely sorry to have cast any doubt on your amazing prognostical ability. You were the only one in the world who believed that Justin Gatlin's previous positive doping test might not have been entirely legitimate, and you are certainly the only one on this board who knows anything about track and field.

Now that my entirely sincere apology is out of the way, let's get back to the issue at hand: Albert Pujols, unlike Barry Bonds, is an aged steroid cheat who stains the game with his very presence!

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

It would be better if you said that Barry Bonds is the only player ever to have used an illegal substance in the history of sports, and then change your name to Tom Verducci and start championing anyone who hits homeruns in this era as THE NEW, CLEAN FACE OF BASEBALL, buttholehead.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, I'm a buttholehead, I deserve that in a way. But calling me Tom Verducci is uncalled for. THIS, SIR, IS WAR.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

(and I was never part of the Bonds = Satan mafia!)

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

Don't ask Steve Shasta to pay attention to little things like who said what and when. He's got a point (a ridiculous point, but a point none-the-less) and he's not going to let a little thing like logic derail him.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

But I want to believe in him, I still recall the halcyon days when he had that other name and was more reasonable.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

I'm beginning to suspect that Steve may not be posting clean. His irrational rages. His oversized skull. His bizarre keyboard injuries. All these things look suspect to me.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

Shasta's panties have been twisted around the tip of his wakeboard ever since the Giants fell out of first place a few weeks ago*.

* baseless speculation, much like the non-Gatlin drug rumours on this thread

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

Actually I used to be a lot nicer and smarter around here.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

I blame the Brewers' total WTF collapse.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

Let's keep this up so we can elevate this to a B-level exchange.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

THAT SHIP HAS SAILED. Plus I have better things to do than get into another pointless fight on the Internets, like stapling my dick to a fire engine or sending a job resume to Jeffrey Loria.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

OR WRITING A BEST SELLING BASEBALL BOOK

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

Thank you to Haikunym for not taking my OTT!!!! post seriously, as was intended.

But for the rest of you, I hope you take a sharp grounder to the gonads.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

Been there, done squats, worn the icepack.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols has agreed to participate in tonight’s Home Run Derby in San Francisco, even though he is mired in a career-worst power slump. Pujols, who has 16 home runs, and Alex Rios of the Toronto Blue Jays were the final participants added.

Pujols’s homerless streak reached 22 games and a career-worst 74 at-bats in the Cardinals’ 7-0 victory over the Giants yesterday.

Rios, Minnesota’s Justin Morneau, Vladimir Guerrero of the Angels and Magglio Ordóñez of the Tigers are the American League’s representatives for the Derby. Pujols, Philadelphia’s Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder of the Brewers are the National League contestants.

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 9 July 2007 17:53 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, for a career-worst power drought to mean 16 HRs at the All-Star Break.

― David R., Monday, 9 July 2007 17:54 (eighteen years ago)

ha, he sonned Ryan THE CLEAN SLUGGER Howard!

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 10 July 2007 13:57 (eighteen years ago)

2007 & 2008 are his lowest IsoPs of his career.

I thought power was supposed to increase through *ahem* age 26-28?

― Steve Shasta, Friday, 16 May 2008 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

IsoP is negatively correlated with hair loss, if that's what you're implying.

― mattbot, Friday, 16 May 2008 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

Guy has plantar fasciitis! It's amazing he can hit at all. That shit is painful.

― Alex in SF, Friday, 16 May 2008 16:43 (eighteen years ago)

OBP is only important in regards to Barry Bonds...
