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

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.

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!

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...

hi bnw, i'm talking about POWER. not walks, not batting average, not on-base percentiles.

i am talking about POWER.

And how Albert's POWER seems to be waning as he enters the eversofaint twilight of his mid-twenties.

― Steve Shasta, Friday, 16 May 2008 17:48 (eighteen years ago)

how much of the waning is due to the elbow tear?

― chicago kevin, Friday, 16 May 2008 17:51 (eighteen years ago)

hi steve! if his power was rising into his "thirties" would you be on here insinuating something else about him? I am guessing YES.

― bnw, Friday, 16 May 2008 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

"how much of the waning is due to the elbow tear?"

NONE! IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF HIS FAKE AGE!

― Alex in SF, Friday, 16 May 2008 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

The dude is playing through some pretty significant injuries and still hitting very well. I don't think it's very hard to understand how those injuries could reduce his power. I mean, the Cardinals were planning on having him miss the entirety of this season if they fell out of contention early. He's only still playing because they're in the mix for the division.

― polyphonic, Friday, 16 May 2008 18:01 (eighteen years ago)

SHUT UP SHUT UP FAKE AGE SHUT UP!

― Alex in SF, Friday, 16 May 2008 18:04 (eighteen years ago)

Alex, how many healthy seasons has Pujols had?

According to the Will Carroll, none.

Is Shasta calling all the surge-in-NL-offense articles dumb, I wonder?

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 16 May 2008 19:18 (eighteen years ago)

According to the Will Carroll, none.

Well obviously that's because he's been on the juice all along, right.

― Leee, Friday, 16 May 2008 21:06 (eighteen years ago)

i really want him to reach base in all 162

my finest post of all time

― cankles, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:16 (eighteen years ago)

"Pujols’ first homer was massive. He led off the fifth inning by hitting reliever Justin Germano’s second pitch into the balcony on the fourth floor of the Western Metal Supply Co. building in Petco Park’s left-field corner, 405 feet from home plate."

"He hit another towering shot leading off the eighth, this one into the seats in left-center on a full-count pitch from left-hander Sean Henn."

;-)

― bnw, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 19:17 (eighteen years ago)

wow, first Albert lines one off Chris Young's face, then knocks Bard out of the game by sliding into his ankle? DESTROYER OF PADS!
