It would seem fitting that the team that benefited the most from the steroid era in the season of Maguire and Sammy should also employ Bonds as his body breaks down in the final year of his "flack seed oil"tainted career. How could LaRussa look in the mirror in the morning after that comment. Unbelievable. My new favorite team to ignore.Brakemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17188486484479586417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481778847952160305.post-36308588792631389342008-02-29T14:24:00.000-05:002008-02-29T14:24:00.000-05:00The idea that Spezio missed part of last season be...The idea that Spezio missed part of last season because of drug/alchohol problems then professed he was clean and lied about this incident to the team in a meeting a few weeks ago might have something to do with it. Spezio recieved the same treatment as Larussa then screwed up again. If Larussa gets another DUI and doesnt get fired re-post this at that time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481778847952160305.post-71813664101125029402008-02-28T13:20:00.000-05:002008-02-28T13:20:00.000-05:00I'm not sure I see the analogy between "employees ...I'm not sure I see the analogy between "employees and management should follow the same rules" and "people who take out inadvisable loans should be bailed out by those who didn't." People who took out subprime loans, as well as the banks who allowed it, should be responsible for their own stupidity. Interesting how a baseball post has turned toward a discussion of bad loans. They do have one thing in common though - people doing dumb things.Assmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291844788626138094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481778847952160305.post-79658897455831951992008-02-28T13:08:00.000-05:002008-02-28T13:08:00.000-05:00Obviously you're not a proponent of the "some pigs...Obviously you're not a proponent of the "some pigs are more equal than others" philosophy. I guess, then, you have no problem with taxpayers bailing out the idiots who took out subprime loans to pay for houses that they couldn't/shouldn't have bought? Where's the bonus for those of us who continue to make timely payments on our mortgages?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
