Nobody has had more bad wins than that guy." i stand corrected. "Actually, if you want to win badly, you DO have Eric Wedge as manager. Nobody has had more bad wins than that guy."

Look at the sudden weird one-year power spike at the age of 35 dwarfing anything he had done before. That banjo had extra strings. Look at Vizquel's stats.

The phrase "banjo hitter" was invented for him (and apparently for Ben Francisco..good riddance). Speaking of warning-track power, I wish someone would out Dustin Pedroia. Dirtbag hits homers and doubles off us in the 2007 playoffs, all with a broken wrist. Such magic. Senator Mitchell! I object! Omar Vizquel?!

Heck, the two Alomars probably shared the same source. This naive illusion of "the heroes on our team didn't take them" is childlike. But without sticking guys like Thome in front of Congress and watch them weep and pee in their pants like McGwire did, they're all going to the Hall of Fame unscathed. It's a sham.

Thome played the country simpleton act well, but the Old Country Store had pharmaceuticals next to the pickle jar. I'd say that Sandy Alomar & Carlos Baerga were clean. And then there's Manny...I wish Charles Nagy had juiced, might've made him more aggressive. We know Joey Belle cheated, at least with his bats, and maybe had some help with those popeye arms.

I'm guessing it will make the Rangers' Canseco era look like summer camp.
