  1. Well there is the whole issue of the fact that it was proven Bonds received roids from his trainer, but the jury decided he actually didn't know he was getting roids. There is the other issue that despite millions of dollars and a full year federal investigation and trial there is exactly ZERO proof Clemens used any PED other than the word of a guy known to lie and shake people down for money. Either way, they both should be in, PED use or not.
  2. Bonds, Clemens, Jeter, Wagner, Man Ram, Schilling
  3. Kid cracked his 15th tournament bat Thursday night at his lesson. Found a replacment at budget that would work. First pitch at the tournament today he hits one a mile into the lake out at the scrap yard. Good day for him today.
  4. He does not NEED a -11. In tourney ball he swings a -5. However, the theory is since these USA bats are total shit sticks going with a -11 should increase swing speed thus adding some pop to the otherwise dead face of the bat. But no, he is a strong kid and does not need -11. it's merely a strategic thing. He also has a -3 wooden bat he sometimes uses in USA play.
  5. Crazy to think our Little League draft is a mere 5 weeks from tomorrow. Tournament ball season was tough for my son. He broke his ankle the first week of September so he missed most of the tourney ball fall. He came back to play two events, but wasn't released to pitch. We are going to try and put another few events in so he can get back on the mound and shake off some rust. We've started the research for the USA bat that is the least piece of $hit. We have gone through many since the change. 2018 he had the Easton Ghost X. Hit with it once, and said he'd never hit with it again. I hit some ground balls with it, and agreed. What a flaming f*cking turd that thing was. He ended up with the Mizuno Ghost (confusing), and really liked it. Cracked it during All-Stars and I was able to get him a USA Demarini CF Zen that he really liked to finish the tourney. 2019 he got the Demarini CF Zen in USA version. He liked it at first, but it seemed to lose all it's pop quickly. He cracked it eventually, and finished the year with a Louisville Prime USA. that was his favorite USA bat to date. He needs a 32 now so we need to get a new one. I am totally gun shy on this, but reviews on the latest Easton 360 are really good. Seems they have a new composite material, new handle, new connection, etc. They also make it in drop 11 which could help swing speed with these terrible bats. The Demarini CF seems to be the same as last year, but with new paint. The Lousiville Prime will again likely be a great bat. Marucci is making a USA version of their CAT which may be good too. It does seem that the metal bats perform as well as the composites at half the cost. Maybe it's time to just accept in the USA space there is no discernable advantage to the composites as they all suck. This is my son's 12U season for Little League. My coaching career is coming to an end very soon. Hard to believe. It has gone by so fast.
  6. cant be redone: Braveheart Saving Private Ryan El Camino Should be redone: DIamonds are Forever Live and Let Die
  7. I just do not get what they see in tucker that makes him untouchable. I get that he's young, but his development just doesn't really move the needle to me. his swing is long and awkward, and he appears often over matched at the plate.
  8. the racist libs, of course. they're the ones who refused to back the woman of color. Never mind she has no business running a lemonade stand. I'm voting Tulsi if she makes it to the primaries. if she doesn't, I will go with Pete. Should either of them get the nomination I will vote for either. Otherwise, I am going write in.
  9. Tulsi processed heels up harris at that debate and she was freaking doa. Maybe dumbass Harris shouldn’t have hired a bunch of Hillary hangers on who lose elections if she had any shot. Her whole campaign was nothing more than, “I’m like Obama but have a vagina”. Terrible campaign.
  10. still no re-cert on the 737 max. at this point I really think they should scrap the thing and start over. will be a short term loss, but I cannot really fathom ever feeling comfortable on this shit bird.
  11. Cool. Let us know what they send you and if you like it.
  12. These were all fantastic, but i think the 2014 Behrens Thanksgiving cab was the wine of the night in a very tightly grouped lineup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. been awhile since I bought a watch. still have my eye on the Bruguet XXI. anyway, wanted something new, cook and fun. it's not going to go down as any sort of collectible, but damn I love this thing. just picked it up.
  14. and my kid who loves to go once per year to see all the Christmas decorations. almost time to make the annual pilgrimage out there to overpay for freaking choice beef that is almost always tough.
  15. anyone tried the new Merus Grill yet? Looks like a "nicer" version of a Houston's knock off. Opened in uptown park.
  16. The Pontiac Aztec is rejoicing because someone finally made an uglier hunk of shit than the Aztec
  17. ive had a few solid deliveries of late. Schrader - RBS, CCS, GIII. Behrens vertical of 2014-2016 Thanksgiving cabernet, Quilceda Creek and Shafer HSS as well as some TD9 for house wine use.
  18. well I will definitely lose sleep over that tonight.
  19. hes not my boy. didn't vote for him last election. won't this time either.
  20. nah. still fighting the fight on that one. I won't be voting for trump nor any incumbent in 2020 based on their fiscal mismanagement. it's just not worth the energy, but rest assured I am still bitterly disappointed in the right for failing at every turn to attempt any fiscal responsibility.
  21. so help my dumbass understand how getting a foreign prosecutor fired for investigating Biden's kid by withholding aid is not corruption/bribery. And I am fine with trump being removed for the same thing if proven. proof seems thing based on testimony have seen. I understand with trump it is using a foreign government to potentially dig up dirt on a political opponent. wait a minute....haven't we seen that somewhere recently as well? seems we have.
  22. except posts ridiculing the shittiness of paul ryan, mitch mcconnell and a whole host of others from the republican side are easily found on this board.
  23. so biden didn't commit quid pro quo is your take away from his own words about withholding aid until a guy investigating his kid was fired. that is your position?
  24. don't care if you believe it or not. I basically despise all politicians so I am fine with corruption being forced out of our process. Seems I am pretty much alone in that view.
